Timber

First of all we had to carry out a risk assesment on each other. The task was to carry a length of timber from one workshop to another. We had to balance the length of timber on our shoulder and use our hand to secure it. Then we walked it back to the stacking area and stacked it correctly and safely. While carrying  it we had to keep an eye for other people behind us and in front of us.
The PPE was Gloves to protect our hands from the chemicals in the treated timber, Steel toe cap boots to protect our toe's incase the timber is dropped on to our feet and safety goggles to protect our eyes from splinters.
