Classification
Summary
Manufacturing occupation that applies paint or glaze to the surface of roof tiles, which are ceramic products, and imparts weather resistance and aesthetics through a series of processes including firing.
Description
The Painting Worker (Roof Tile Manufacturing) is an occupation that performs base treatment, mixing of paints and glazes, spray painting or hand painting, and inspections before drying and firing on roof tiles that have undergone forming and drying.

With strengthening environmental regulations, acquiring knowledge of eco-friendly paints and energy-saving firing technologies will become important.
