This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to assemble and maintain quality and continuity of sets for screen and entertainment industry productions.

The unit applies to members of set construction crews, who pack and transport sets to and from production locations. On location they assemble and maintain sets during production runs or filming, and take responsibility for ensuring set continuity is achieved.

The National Standard for Licensing Persons Performing High Risk Work applies to persons performing dogging and rigging work. Completion of the following units is required for certification at either basic, intermediate or advanced levels:

• CPCCLDG3001 Licence to perform dogging
• CPCCLRG3001 Licence to perform rigging basic level
• CPCCLRG3002 Licence to perform rigging intermediate level
• CPCCLRG4001 Licence to perform rigging advanced level.

Sets and staging for some performances or events may fall within the definition of construction work. If so, people entering a construction site are required 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 unit CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry fulfils this requirement.

Check with the relevant regulator for specific guidance on requirements.
