Overview

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to identify and safely handle bricklaying hand and power tools and plant and equipment. It does not include the maintenance of tools and equipment. It includes the ability to plan for, prepare and handle tools and equipment, clean up after use, and report on faulty tools and equipment. 

This unit supports pre-apprentices who under close supervision and guidance, develop a defined and limited range of skills and knowledge in preparing them for entering the working environment within the building and construction industry.

On entering the industry, it is intended that further training will be required for this specific skill to ensure trade level standard.
