Description
This unit of competency covers selecting densifying and sealing materials appropriate for the job, preparing for the work and applying the selected materials to concrete floors prior to polishing. It applies to a wide variety of flooring technology operations in an on-site environment and involves application of skills and knowledge at a trade worker level. Licensing, legislative or certification requirements may apply to this unit and relevant state/territory and local government agencies should be consulted to determine any necessary certification or licensing for undertaking flooring work. Access to construction sites requires certification of general induction training specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work (ASCC 2007).
