First we had to prepare our area by putting plastic sheeting down on the floor to stop the plaster landing on the floor and drying we also ran a brush over the wall to dust it down.
We then mixed up the plaster by adding watter to the powder and using a wisp to mix it up then itook some plaster over to my wall and just slapped it on using a hawk and trowel. First i put one coat on then let it dry then i put the second coat on to and let that set and then polished it.
PPE
I have to wear goggles to stop any plaster going in my eyes.
I had to wear steel toe capped boots incase any objects fell onto my feet.
I had to wear gloves to stop the plaster going into any cuts and starting an infection.

Stop end brick wall
- Set up in rows opposite each other.
- Draw out measurements level and pencil.
- Load out pug and bricks. Roll pug.
- Lay pug out on floor.
- Lay 5 bricks.
English bond
The task was to make an english bond.
The PPE we used was steel toe caps incase anything dropped on our feet, safety gloves to stop us cutting our hands and safety goggles to stop things such as pug and chips of bricks getting into our eyes.
The english bond was by far the hardest wall to build because it was hard to keep it level. I had to do the 6 point check on each course as the wall was built up. After we had built the English bond we had to take it down and clear our area and hack off the dry pug off the bricks.

Plaster Board
The task was to carry a sheet of plaster board through one room to the other then put them back on the pile neatly. this task was to see if we were able to carry a sheet properly and in the correct way. We had to carry out a risk assesment before doing anything. We had to wear safety boots incase he board was dropped onto our feet and goggles from the dust off the boards.
Bricks
First of all we had to carry out a risk assesment then the task was to carry six bricks stacked in jenga style from the car park area to the minibus which is parked in the car park then walk them back to the pallet and stack them neatly. This was to see if we could carry the bricks properly. We had to wear steel toe capped boots incase the bricks dropped onto our feet, gloves to protect our hands from the sharp edges on the bricks and saftey goggles to protect our eyes incase we dropped the bricks and peiceses flew off into our eyes.
Paint
First we carried out a risk assesment out on eachother. The task was to carry two pots of paint from one room to the workshop then stacked them neatly in there then took them back into the room we got them from and stacked them properly. The PPE was to wear safety boots to protect our toe's from dropping the tub of paint onto our feet and goggles to protect our eyes from the paint tub splitting and splashing intoour eyes.
Blocks
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.
