Moving 1 Ton of Ballast

I had to check the delivery sheet and make sure the details were correct, once I checked that I had to shovel the ballast from the bag into a wheelbarrow. Then moved that into a pile on the other side of the road in between two cones. Once the bag has been emptied into the piles, I had to shovel all of the ballast back into the wheelbarrow, take that back to the bag and fill up the bag again. Correct P.P.E was Gloves, Goggles and Boots. Gloves are to protect from sharp objects from piercing the skin, Goggles are to protect your eyes being damaged from the dust, and the boots are to protect your feet from being crushed by heavy objects being dropped.

Carrying Timber

I had to look at a job sheet and make sure the details were correct, once I checked them I had to move the timber from an indoor storage room to outside into a storage Cupboard. Also remembering P.P.E, I wore gloves incase of splinters, Goggles incase of dust being blown into your eyes and also steel toe caped boots to protect your feet incase of anything being dropped onto your foot.

Carrying Plaster Board

We had to fill out a job sheet and make sure the details on the sheet were correct , then we moved a sheet of plasterboard from the workshop to outside, also being aware of health and safety. Being aware of people around you and also the road outside. we were being watched by members of staff to make sure we carried the plasterboard correctly and to see if we remembered the correct P.P.E.
