Drylining Competency Framework

The Dry Lining Competence Framework has been developed to provide a structured and consistent method for assessing and assuring the competence of Dry Lining installers. It responds to the increasing need for high-quality, safe installations by supporting the development of skilled professionals who meet recognised industry standards.

The framework defines the core competencies required for Dry Lining, including installation practices, health and safety requirements, the training and qualification landscape, and ongoing re-validation expectations. It is intended to support employers, workers, training providers, industry professionals, and regulatory bodies in adopting a consistent, transparent, and accountable approach to competency.

By establishing this competency model, the framework aims to reduce the risks associated with poor installation and ensure compliance with relevant regulations and standards.
