\n

Recognise the material<\/h2>\n

Distinguish major stone families, finishes, visible faces, natural variation and fragile features. Read labels, piece numbers and drawings before handling.<\/p>\n

Know that marble, granite, limestone, travertine and quartzite can require different products and care.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Work safely<\/h2>\n

Assess weight, lifting route, sharp edges and stable storage. Use wet cutting or effective dust extraction and appropriate personal protection.<\/p>\n

Never stand beneath suspended slabs or use unapproved lifting equipment.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Check the substrate<\/h2>\n

Confirm cleanliness, cohesion, flatness, levels, cracks and obvious moisture. Report conditions outside the method rather than covering them.<\/p>\n

Understand waterproofing and movement joints as separate system requirements.<\/p>\n

\n

Install simple work<\/h2>\n

Prepare a dry layout, mix materials consistently and place stone without contamination. Maintain joint width, line, level and support.<\/p>\n

Protect installed work and keep tools and water clean.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Know when to stop<\/h2>\n

Escalate active cracks, wet substrates, uncertain stone, unsupported heavy pieces and conflicting drawings. Basic competence includes recognising limits.<\/p>\n

Record issues and follow site supervision and local safety rules.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
