Scaffolding VOC in Perth & Western Australia
A scaffolding Verification of Competency (VOC) confirms that a scaffolder can safely and competently erect, alter and dismantle scaffold to the required standard. STES assesses scaffolding at basic (SB), intermediate (SI) and advanced (SA) levels for Perth and Western Australian sites.
Scaffolding is high risk work, so scaffolders must hold the current High Risk Work (HRW) licence for the relevant class before a VOC can be issued. Assessments are conducted at our Bibra Lake facility in Perth or onsite across WA.
