PROFI2 Contribute to the work of others in fenestration installation
Overview
This standard covers the need to go beyond the immediate requirements of the job and to view work as more than just utilising technical skills. It covers the need to keep costs down by minimising the wastage of resources that are used during the work. It is important that equipment is used economically, that components are not damaged and that materials are used in the correct quantities; surplus materials are retained wherever possible. The standard is also concerned with ensuring that people have all the information required to undertake work in line with relevant legislation, regulations and organisational requirements.
