Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce architectural precast concrete products.This unit applies to experienced operators who are required to take responsibility for own outputs and follow established procedures to prepare mould assemblies, fittings and reinforcement (not pre-stressed) and mould, cure and strip the product. Operators are also required to work autonomously and apply their own judgement to interpret information; monitor processes; identify and address routine and non-routine problems and control hazards. The experienced operator may work alone or as part of a team or group and in liaison with other shift team members, team leader and supervisor. No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
