This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to use pressure washing to clean surfaces. Pressure washing produces a variable stream of either water or cleaning chemical and is used as a replacement for hand scrubbing in large areas or where surfaces are very soiled.
Some surfaces, such as cracked, painted or other sealed surfaces, may be sensitive to pressure washing.
The unit requires the ability to assess the extent of the cleaning task through knowledge of the characteristics of the surface and the type of surface soiling. It is also necessary to apply understanding of client requirements and company policies and procedures in order to perform the task. Selecting the appropriate equipment, chemicals and cleaning methods is essential to performing the task safely and efficiently.
In this unit work is conducted from ground level. CPPCLO3036A Clean at high levels describes work conducted over two metres above ground level.
This unit of competency supports employees without managerial or supervisory responsibilities. The work may be performed in teams or individually. Performance would usually be carried out under routine supervision and within company guidelines.
