First of all we had to carry out a risk assesment on eachother.Then the task was to put four concrete blocks in a wheel barrow and push them up the hill from the car park area to the second bump on the hill and back down again to the car park area where we stacked them back on the pile neatly. There only a few hazards such as the road for traffic and the blocks falling out of the wheel barrow onto our toes thats why safety boots are worn. The task was to see how our ballance was with materials in a wheel barrow.
The PPE is safety boots to protect our toes from the blocks, gloves to to protect our hands from the sharp edges on the blocks and goggles to protect out eyes from bits off the blocks flying into our eyes if they are dropped.
well done. What about the hazard posed by oncoming cars? Did you need someone to keep an eye on the traffic?
ReplyDeleteWhat was the correct method to lift the blocks (kinetic lifting: bending the knees and keeping the back straight).
