| AUEC2-005Producing components using hand fitting techniquesKnowledge and UnderstandingThe apprentice must know and understand:K1Describe the health and safety requirements and safe working practices and procedures required for the hand fitting activities undertaken.-When performing any hand fitting job, the correct PPE and training is required to perform the specific job. -Employers have a duty to provide personal protective equipment (PPE) for their employees within the workplace. PPE is defined as equipment that will protect the user at work against health or safety hazards at work. -The user must wear their PPE at all times during work to minimise risk and injury to themselves and others. It can include items such as gloves, eye protection, steel-toe boots and high-visibility clothing. -Risk assessments are often carried out by an external company/governing body toensure the employer knows when and where to enforce PPE. For an employer to implement measures to control substances hazardous to health and other items that can cause injury, they must complete a risk assessment to understand what isrequired.- It is important for employers to have information/training available to the employees so that they understand the hazards involved. 1st aid kits, anti-bacterial wipes and running water should always be available in a workshop area to ensure the safety of workers.-Only when the worker is competent and confident in completing the job, should they begin the task given. If unsure, they should ask for further training. -A risk assessment must be completed on the task being undertaken which will detail all the hazards involving machinery, tools and space. -COSHH must be considered if dealing with substances which can cause damage; for example, if some metal work is to be cleaned and the cleaning fluid has an irritant sign on it, then the worker must use gloves. -The health and safety at work act of 1974 states that employers have a duty of care and must ensure all areas of the workplace are safe for employees to use at all times.- Equipment such as machinery and tools must be regularly maintained to enforce a safe working environment so as to not cause harm to the employees’ health.

| AUEC2-005K2Explain the importance of wearing appropriate protective clothing and equipment (PPE), and of keeping the work area safe and tidy.-Wearing the correct P.P.E is extremely important; thiswill protectthe person fromgetting trapped or hurt in any way. -Examples of this include wearing overalls and safety glasses to protect the skin from swarf off the material. -Safety boots with steel toe caps ensure that the feet are protected from any potential falling objects. -Sweeping the work area safe and tidy is also extremely important; this will eliminate any hazards to all personnel in and around the area. -The swarf can easily pierce the skin, so the sides must be wiped clean and all swarf is to be removed to eliminate the risk ofsomeone leaning on it or touching it where they would risk hurting themselves. K3State the hazards associated with the hand fitting activities (such as use of power tools, trailing leads or hoses, damaged or badly maintained tools and equipment, using files with damaged or poor fitting handles), and how they can be minimised.-The hazards involving hand fitting activities include the use of power tools which must only be used by a competent and confident worker. Someone who has no knowledge on how to use the tool will put themselves and others at risk of injury.-Trailing leads are trip hazards which can cause serious injury as someone could fall over and hurt themselves as they may not see the lead. This hazard can be minimised by putting the wire out of the way or using mats which allow the wire to safely run below them. -This incident will also happen when hoses are left lying around the work shop; theymust be placed in a safe area, away from the main workplace. -Damaged or badly maintained tools and equipment can cause damage to not only the person using it but other people surrounding. For example, if a hammer head has become loose to the handle, it runs the risk of coming off the handle and potentially hitting otherpeople. To minimise this risk, tools and equipment must be checked before use.

| AUEC2-005K4Explain the importance of applying the appropriate behaviours in the workplace and the implications for both the apprentice and the business if these are not adhered to-Improper work ethic can lead to accidents and a loss of efficiency in work. It is important people are professional in the workplace to ensure work is complete andsafety is ensured; failure to do this increases the likelihood of accidents as health and safety where the user is not being put into practice. This could lead to injury, lost working time and production could be affected.K5Outline the procedure for obtaining the required drawings, job instructions and other related specifications-All documentation for the job is located in the worker’s training or assessment folder. If any further job instructions are required they will be provided by the trainer in charge or competent overseeing personnel. -Specifications can be found in the engineer’s data reference book such as drill sizes and conversions.

| AUEC2-005K6Explain how to use and extract information from engineering drawings and related specifications (to include symbols and conventions to appropriate BS or ISO standards), in relation to work undertaken-On the documentation given for the task,there is a drawing of the finished object.On the drawing there is either a 1st or 3rdangle projection. -The drawing also has specifiedmeasurements, these measurements aretypically in imperial or metric. Imperial is:‘Feet and Inches’, metric is: Millimetres &Centimetres. Sometimes both are used soit is important that the worker takes thisinto account. -Drawings provided are typically of British standard, to ensure they are to spec there is a number written on the drawing e.g. ‘BS8888’ this states the drawing is written to the required specifications of the BS. Examples of the symbols in the drawing include: the circle with the line cutting through it, this symbol represents the diameter, the ‘R’ stands for the radius. -The title block typically contains the general tolerance for all the dimensions, unless there is a specified tolerance for that specific dimension. The tolerance is usually indicated by a +/- figure, which allows the worker to understand the two extremities allowed within the dimensions measured. -The datum points are calculated from where all measurements are taken as they are used as a reference point to maintain accuracy, they must be completely flat.-Centre lines are made by creating a cross point between two lines, then using a centre punch to indent the cross so that it can be drilled accurately. -The thread size gives information that leads to the size of the hole to be drilled or tapped. For example if the thread size M4 is given, the worker would check their engineer’s reference book and find that the drill size is 3.3mm.
