Mould Propping Structures Training
Details
This course is designed to provide a structured understanding of the principles, requirements, and safe practices involved in mould propping systems used in construction.
Who is the course aimed at?
Personnel involved in the planning, supervision, installation, and inspection of propping systems.
Course Objectives
Key learning areas focus on the fundamentals of propping, including basic design requirements, flight slopes and deck depths, and the selection and use of props, bracing systems, and associated fittings. Participants will also develop their understanding of design calculations, enabling them to interpret rather than design systems.
The course includes a review of case studies of propping failures, highlighting common issues and lessons learned, alongside practical guidance on inspection procedures and site safety to support effective monitoring on site.
This training is intended to improve awareness, competence, and confidence in working with mould propping structures, helping individuals contribute to safer and more effective site operations.
