This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to select and use powered equipment for the preparation of surfaces prior to the installation of flooring materials. It includes the requirement for floor grinding, and for knowledge of a range of different preparation methods.

This unit applies to flooring technicians preparing surfaces in accordance with pre-determined work orders where assessment of preparation needs would already have taken place.

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).
