Description
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to produce hard and soft stone components using computer-controlled machines. It includes curved and straight moulds, levels and cuts.This unit applies to stonemasons who work independently, in a team or under supervision and operate machinery relating to stonemasonry work in a workshop setting, on a new or existing structure.A person working at this level would be expected to take responsibility for organising and completing tasks assigned to them without needing close supervision.Completion of the general construction induction training program specified by the model Code of Practice for Construction Work is required for any person who is to carry out construction work.
