Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to develop a current understanding of the application and production processes of glue laminated timber (GLT) or cross laminated timber (CLT), identify gluing systems and curing procedures used in GLT or CLT production, and examine the testing and quality control procedures used in GLT or CLT production.The unit applies to individuals who are engaged in a range of operational work roles in GLT or CLT production.All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, according to state/territory health and safety regulations, legislation and standards that apply to the workplace.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
