Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MSFFL3049 Apply densifiers and sealers to concrete surfaces.

Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to inspect and prepare concrete surfaces for polishing using densifying and sealing materials.

This unit applies to flooring technicians working in accordance with pre-determined work orders.

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. Industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must also be applied. Access to construction sites requires certification of general induction training specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work (ASCC 2007).
