Application
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to install aerated autoclaved concrete (AAC) products to walls and floors of different types and styles of buildings.
It includes installing AAC blockwork, lintels, floor panels and wall panels to buildings or structures.
The unit applies to bricklayers and block layers who work on new and existing structures. It is suitable for people operating with some autonomy. 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. Achievement of CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Pre-requisite Unit
