To start off, I first looked at the job sheet. From this I then valued the risk assessment on my colleague and then the risk assessment on task. After doing the previous I then checked the delivery sheet to see what I would need to do for the task and what the quantity that I needed to produce was to be. After reading the delivery ticket I signed and agreed to the statement and changed any incorrect parts to the agreement.
I then looked for any risks in the college that could affect me or any workers what were working in the same situation, such as closed doors and then solved the problems but putting door-wedges in so I would be able to support myself with two hands if need be.
Safety boots (steel toe-caped) were worn to protect our feet, gloves to cushion the weight and glasses in case the dusty and small chippings get into your eyes.
We wore the boots to protect our feet from anything heavy falling on them, the gloves to protect things like splinters and blisters.
I then read the delivery sheet to see what the job was and what quantity was need of each material.
The hazards for this task are: the strain on the back, legs and arms you get when lifting the wheelbarrow, you could pop your shoulder when you lift the wheelbarrow up.
For this activity, I had to load 5 concrete blocks into a wheelbarrow and wheel it up a hill and down again safety. To make this easier for myself I loaded most of the weight onto the wheel of the wheelbarrow so that I had lesson weight and strain on my arms, back and legs. When I lifted the wheelbarrow I lifted it with my legs so I was to not damage my back. After I had done this I had to load the concrete bricks back onto the pallet and cover them up so they were not to get wet.
