Elements and Performance Criteria
- Prepare for installation
- Applicable legislative, OHS and organisational requirements relevant to cutting and installing resilient floor coverings to stairs are verified and complied with
- Instructions and/or plans are read and interpreted to identify process required to complete work tasks
- Sub-floor condition is assessed for suitability for installation of resilient floor coverings to stairs
- Any remedial work to stairway is carried out
- Stairway or step is measured and the required amount of floor covering including allowances for type of stairs, is calculated and obtained
- Underlay (if required) is checked against specified type and fitting
- Suitable adhesives, trims and accessories are selected
- Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work, serviceable and in a safe condition
- Sequence of work is planned, including the starting point, to ensure efficiency and quality of installation
- Set-out floor coverings
- Resilient floor coverings to be used are checked against order
- Resilient floor coverings are acclimatised according to manufacturer recommendations
- Resilient floor coverings for fixing are organised and used in accordance with relevant safety management requirements
- Working lines and starting point are established
- Pre-form fillet is cut and fitted (if required)
- Lay resilient floor coverings
- Instructions and sequence for laying and fixing is followed
- Resilient floor coverings are laid out to meet directional sequence, pattern match, specification requirements and to minimise waste and joins as appropriate
- Patterns are cut as required for stairs and used to accurately and clearly mark resilient floor covering for cutting
- Resilient floor coverings are cut to required pattern and shape with minimum waste of materials
- Materials for welding and fixing are organised and used in accordance with relevant safety management requirements
- Welding and fixing methods, equipment and materials are used following manufacturers' instructions
- Resilient skirting, reducer and edge strips are set out and installed (as required)
- Completed installation is checked for flaws in installation and materials and faults rectified following workplace procedures
- Complete housekeeping
