Staging for some performances or events may fall within the definition of construction work which means you may have to complete the general induction training program specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction Training for Construction Work (Australian Safety Compensation Council, May 2007). Achievement of the CPCCOHS1001A Work safely in the construction industry unit from the CPC08 Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package fulfils this requirement.
