State why and when health and
safety control equipment, identified
by the principles of protection,
should be used relating to types,
purpose and limitations of each
type, the work situation,
occupational use and the general
work environment, in relation to:
– collective protective
measures
– personal protective
equipment (PPE)
– respiratory protective
equipment (RPE)
– local exhaust ventilation
(LEV).
– Collective protective measures: it involve COSHH
assessment, risk assessment, method statements, toolbox
talks, site induction, hazard warning signs and many more.
Moreover, there are also some safety measures on site like
handrails which require for protection purpose wherever
essential.
– Personal protective equipment: It consist steel toe boots
which protect feet from objects which are stubbing falling
as well as ear defenders for protecting hearing. Moreover,
hard hat is helmet which worker wears for protecting head
from falling object and banging head. Along with this,
googles are also important for protecting eyes and gloves
for hand injury reduction. Moreover, PPE will not assist in
protecting from risk because hard hats will protect from
objects falling but not from heavy objects.
– Respiratory protective equipment: It is dust masks self-
contained breathing apparatus is equipment which stop
lungs breathing harmful dust, gases, toxic fumes and so on.
– Local exhaust ventilation: It is an equipment which use
for reducing dust, mist, fume, vapour and several other gas
within workplace. It helps through extracting harmful toxic
gases from environment.

There are several type of information as well as their sources
explanation of these are as follows :-
 Drawings -It show what is to be built some of it may be in
detailed manner as well as scale. Drawing include room
size, height and instruction related to what material will
use.
 Job specification – It is written description related to quality
material as well as details related to any fixing and
dimension of construction work which will used when

building.
 Risk assessment – It provide procedure related to
identifying any potential risk which may be involved within
an activity as well as referring to the risk assessment assist
in preventing accidents. Along with this, it result in

in managing work for making sure essential precautions
will be shared with those who are involved. In addition to
this, method statements assist in reducing risk through
planning an operations.
 Schedules -It mainly utilise for listing items which are
repetitive within construction project like manholes, door
windows and their ironmongery, finishing to room and
many more founded within site offices.

Wood products/Door Windows should be made of softwood or
hardwood by using machined in proper manner. It is important to
have correct measured for fitting size for openings as well as if not
manufactured and stored in correct manner then can bow as well as
twist out of shape. It is essential that sustainable sources have to be
found as well as use in priority.
There are several fixings, bolts, screws etc.. are made of metals and
stainless steel. These can be use for fixing materials together as
well as suitable for particular type of fixing.
Power tools Made from steel and plastic, rubber handles. Used for
wood working, machining woods. Make machining wood much
quicker than by hand, more efficient and if used correctly can be
safer. Only as good as the tradesman using them. Often can
develop faulty cables, or blades can become less effective. Require
maintaining well to ensure long use. Do burn out depending on use.

Describe how to calculate quantity,
length, area and wastage
associated with the
method/procedure to install first
fixing components
Calculating quantity and length associated with specialist access
equipment is achieved by:
I would specify to a scaffolding company how high, how long and
how many lifts the specialist access equipment would be required
to be. This would need to be within building safety requirements
for specific task in hand. They would measure the height and
length of scaffold required, ensuring steps are built into the
scaffolding to comply with health and safety regulations.

Safe working practices is related to guideline which provide
assistance to staff in performing task which may not need proper
procedure step by step. These guidelines will implement while
shaping as well as cutting material through making sure guard rails
which are kept for close to saw blades as well as not exposing
power tool blade. While changing router bits and blades it is
important to make sure that power will turn off first. Moreover, it
is important to make sure that PPE is worn while handling blades
as well as hazardous tools and any material. At the time of utilising
templates, jigs and profile individual make to ensure that they are
cramped at workplace in correct manner because if work become
lose then it may be dangerous. At the time of fixed machine
operations similar principles will applies and it will make sure that
all blades and guards are fixed in proper way. Working in high
injury risk require some resources such as hard hat and harness.
Along with this, worker have to adjust height of equipments such
as scaffolding and ladders in proper manner. Problem related to all
these will be reported by using site foreman and manager which
written within safety books of site. Although, equipments which
are damaged has to be removed as well as label has to be putted on
these as not working.

wood generally use for door purpose because it is durable.
– Manufactured sheet material or MDF, also comes in
different thicknesses as well as serve for distinct purposes
such as over boarding, flooring, flat roofs and many more.
The material is sustainable and also has a very good finish.
But it can be dangerous while cutting as it causes dust.
– Waterproof sealants as well as various bonding agents
come within distinct qualities and generally utilise with
wood with particular material. They are use for sticking
boards within place and glueing sheet veneers together.
– Hand tools such as drill, planer, circular are made in
