Essential elements of roof framing trusses

As from 1st July 2012 the South Australian Government has regulated the “mandatory” notification of local authorities and the signing of a Supervisors Roofing Checklist by a registered building works supervisor. This supervisor is required to have successfully completed training, such as this HIA Training course, to gain the necessary registration.

Participants who successfully complete this 6 hour course will be issued with a Statement of Completion and a wallet sized HIA plastic identification card containing an identifying number, which will be provided to the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI). Those successful participants with a Building Works Supervisors Licence for Residential Building Work or Carpentry will then be authorised to sign the required supervisor’s checklist.

To start this program, you must have:

• a good understanding of English in reading and writing; and communication skills
• knowledge of building terminology
• the ability to interpret building plans.

You can check your knowledge and find out about courses by contacting HIA Training on 1300 650 620.

You will learn about:

• development application and approval processes including authorised inspections and certification
• the correct use and understanding of wall and roof framing plans, provided by Keith Timber Group using the latest computer generated technology from Pryda Australia which clearly separates wall and roof framing while at the same time clearly highlighting precise construction details, timber sizes, bracing and tie downs
• as a “Bonus offer” those attending this HIA course will receive tuition in the Work Health & Safety Code of Practice Prevention of Falls in Housing in relation to roof framing.
