Brief Description of NVQ Unit - Erecting and Dismantling Working Platforms
Easy
2 mins

The NVQ Unit "Erecting and Dismantling Working Platforms" is a training module designed to assess an individual's competence in safely and effectively assembling and disassembling working platforms, such as scaffolding, within a specific workplace context.
Module 1: Complying With Information and Legislation
Easy
12 mins

Welcome to module one, which covers the types and sources of information you'll encounter. You'll also learn how specifications, current legislation, method statements, risk assessment, and manufacturer information affect its interpretation.
Module 2: Fixed Scaffolding
Easy
13 mins

In module two, we discuss the challenges of installing and removing fixed scaffolding systems, which are temporary metal interlocking systems used for construction work. These systems must be 6 feet above ground and must be protected by workers, others, and the public.
Module 3: Fixed Scaffolding - Assembly and Dismantling
Easy
15 mins

Welcome to module three, where we'll discuss critical factors in assembling and dismantling fixed scaffolding foundations. Scaffold foundations must be designed and built to carry and distribute the full weight of the scaffold, including the dead load, live loads, materials, equipment, and people.
Module 4: Mobile Access Towers and MEWPs
Easy
15 mins

Module four focuses on building and dismantling mobile access towers and mobile elevating work platforms. These structures help workers at height avoid falling and are easy to assemble and dismantle if safety guidelines are followed.
Module 5: Safe Working Practices
Easy
15 mins

Welcome to module 5 This subject covers safe working methods, resource selection, and reducing the risk of injury to coworkers and the community. Start with safe work habits. Everyone building and disassembling access and working platforms must wear PPE.
