6. Examine <strong>the</strong> specific documents and add<br />

specificity to some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> LLN skills in <strong>the</strong> category<br />

list.<br />

For example, <strong>the</strong>re is a lot <strong>of</strong> specific technical<br />

vocabulary that relates to <strong>the</strong> equipment and<br />

processes for erecting scaffolding e.g. gin wheels,<br />

cantilevers, needles, spurs etc. This will be new and<br />

similar to learning a new language.<br />

By looking in more detail at <strong>the</strong> Codes <strong>of</strong> Practice,<br />

additional information is found to add to <strong>the</strong><br />

numeracy requirements from <strong>the</strong> section on dead<br />

and live loads in <strong>the</strong> General Design information.<br />

This requires a complex understanding <strong>of</strong> weight:<br />

<strong>of</strong> scaffold structure and components, as well as<br />

<strong>the</strong> weight <strong>of</strong> persons; <strong>the</strong> weight <strong>of</strong> materials and<br />

debris; <strong>the</strong> weight <strong>of</strong> tools and equipment; and<br />

impact forces.<br />

Template 1: Analysis <strong>of</strong> LLN<br />

macro skills. Page 69.<br />

<strong>The</strong> appendices <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Codes contain examples <strong>of</strong><br />

two workplace related documents that scaffolders<br />

would need to read and complete - Appendix 2<br />

- Inspection Checklist and Appendix 5 - Scaffold<br />

handover certificate: Scaffold over 4 metres.<br />

7. Add detail to each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> macro skills columns <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> LLN analysis.<br />

As you examine <strong>the</strong> <strong>Training</strong> Package units <strong>of</strong><br />

competency or accredited course modules and <strong>the</strong><br />

types <strong>of</strong> on-<strong>the</strong>-job documentation you will begin to<br />

develop a comprehensive set <strong>of</strong> LLN information.<br />

Depending upon your industry currency, you may<br />

need to discuss <strong>the</strong> practical use <strong>of</strong> all <strong>the</strong>se skills<br />

on-<strong>the</strong>-job with o<strong>the</strong>r trainers and with industry<br />

people and enterprises. <strong>The</strong> more <strong>of</strong> an industry<br />

perspective you can get, <strong>the</strong> more complete your LLN<br />

information will be.<br />

8. Next you need to work out <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> difficulty <strong>of</strong><br />

each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> skills.<br />
