How to stay steel safe

$70.00 (inc GST)

Steel plays a crucial role in construction, with implications for safety, building performance and legal responsibilities. Much of the steel used in Australia is imported, but not all steel bought for use in Australia meets Australian Standards, and misleading labels and false documentation are common.

Building with non-certified steel can lead to product failure, decreased durability, increased liability, and financial losses. Using product certification from the Australasian Certification Authority for Reinforcing and Structural Steels (ACRS) ensures compliance and quality, protecting against these issues.

This course will explore how steel is regulated in Australia, the risks you should be aware of, and how to avoid these risks by correctly identifying certified steel.

At the end of this course, you should be able to:

  • Understand the risks of using uncertified steel in building projects, and the advantages of using properly certified steel.
  • Identify steel that is compliant to Australian Standards and recognise signs of counterfeit certificates or false claims relating to the quality of steel.
  • Be comfortable talking to peers and stakeholders about the use of certified steel in building projects.

This course is aimed at planners, architects, engineers and designers, procurers and developers, builders, inspecting engineers and certifiers.

As you work through the course you will have the opportunity to progressively check your understanding and answer some questions at the end of each topic. Upon completion of the course, undertake the assessment quiz and the feedback activity to obtain your certificate of completion.

Duration: 1 hour
Delivery: Online (self-paced)
Access period: 6 months access from the day of enrolment

Proudly developed by Australasian Certification Authority for Reinforcing and Structural Steels (ACRS).
