Wall & Floor Tiling (Residential Builder)

Wall and floor tiling including substrate preparation, wet-saw and grinder cutting, adhesive and grout work, and laying in wet and general areas.

Objective

Tile safely by controlling silica dust from cutting, electrical hazards near water, adhesive and grout dermatitis and manual handling of heavy stone through water suppression, RCD protection, gloves and team lifting; engineered-stone dry-cutting is banned.

This is the Residential Builder version. The hazards and controls are written around residential builder work, so it differs from the other 2 trade versions of Wall & Floor Tiling. Compare all 3.

Built by WHS professionals, written for your state
