Services Training Package Page 12 of 88 Safe design of buildings in relation to formwork Buildability Building designers, such as engineers and architects, must evaluate a structure's or building's "buildability" in order to create a design that reduces the risk of damage during construction. The final concrete structure's design may have a significant impact on the ease of formwork construction and, as a result, on worker safety during construction. In general, it is safer to create a more basic and simple final concrete structure. During the design of any building, a formwork designer should be engaged to provide advice on how to reduce the risk of injury from formwork activities. To reduce the danger of damage during the construction of formwork, the following design solutions could be considered: • Reduce differences in floor depth by building a floor with a single consistent depth. Consistent- depth decks are easier to construct than variable-depth floors, and they lessen the danger of harm. Deeper beams create ‘drop downs' in the floor, which can provide trip and fall risks, and also take longer to build and strip after pouring. • Where beam forms are essential, lightweight temporary access across the beam recess must be provided to prevent injury to workers from stepping into the form during construction • Reduce the number of columns required and where columns do exist, eliminate capitals and dropdowns. • Precast columns and beams can be used. Fixing reinforcement, building and stripping column formwork, and pouring concrete on-site may all be done safely using this method. Work tasks performed in a manufacturing setting are often lower risk. • Reduce cantilevered floor sections • Plan for manual tasks. Consideration should be given to the suitability of the design of different formwork systems that will reduce manual handling risks such as: - Table forms - Systems with lighter weights of materials to be handled - Methods of formwork erection, alteration and dismantling - Improved access and egress for workers and movement of materials and equipment - Methods for moving large and heavy components, materials and equipment i.e. Making allowances for a crane and other mechanical lifting devices to be used. Formwork systems In Australia, formwork systems are generally designed to: • AS 3610 – Formwork for Concrete • AS 3600 – 2009 Concrete Structures

No part of this work may be produced, published, communicated to the public or adapted without permission. Services Training Package Page 13 of 88 Safe formwork design and verification The safe design of the entire formwork structure is the responsibility of a formwork designer, either a formwork designer or an engineer. The formwork support structure, the formwork deck, and connection details are all part of this design. A formwork designer must provide for all expected loads applied during the three phases of construction, namely formwork erection, concrete pouring, and after concrete pouring is complete until the structure is self-supporting, while specifying the design of the formwork system. This includes loads applied by: • The formwork deck, supporting members and formwork frames • Any false decks that may be provided • Concrete pouring techniques (i.e. Concrete skip or pump) • The concrete pour, which includes both the weight of the concrete and dynamic factors applied, including the concrete pour rate and pour sequence • Workers on the formwork deck and false decks • Stacked materials • Crane-lifted materials on both the complete and incomplete formwork deck • Environmental loads, including forces due to water flowing around the formwork. Rain and run off can have a detrimental effect if not considered by a designer • Wind, as detailed in as 1170.2:2011 structural design actions – wind actions: − Wind loading will vary depending on: − The size of form − The nature of the form − Wind speed − Wind resistance (e.g. Screens) − Wind direction • Wind loading on vertical forms, particularly for external walls, columns, freestanding shutters, blade walls and any platforms that may be subject to uplift − Prior to and during stripping, vertical elements should be adequately braced until the structure provides enough support against wind loading. − An open structure's effective wind loading will be increased if shade cloth is used. − The intensity of wind on the structure will be influenced by the construction site's geographic location. Wind has a smaller impact in built-up or hilly locations. − As 1170.2 structural design activities – wind actions, it provides four different terrain categories that a formwork designer should consider, as well as fundamental wind speeds for various zones in Australia.

No part of this work may be produced, published, communicated to the public or adapted without permission. Services Training Package Page 14 of 88 Formwork design certification requirements There are two types of formwork systems: basic and non-basic. A basic formwork system can be certified by a designer, while a non-basic formwork system can only be certified by an engineer. While this guidance advises that only engineers certify non-basic formwork systems, it is acknowledged that the majority of the design work can be done by a competent person with experience in formwork design and documentation (formwork designer). Certification shall confirm that the formwork meets the standards of AS 3610 – 1995 Formwork for Concrete and the construction designs for both basic and non-basic formwork systems. This certification should also attest to the fact that all other formwork and project documents have been completed to the project's specifications. Watch the following You Tube video: ‘Erecting formwork’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN9mkMHmtkI Basic formwork systems A basic formwork system is the formwork for a floor, wall or column and includes: 1 Standard formwork frames with established tested weight capacities that are spaced no more than the recommended distances apart for a regular floor thickness with bearers, joists, and form board on top 2 Formwork systems that are custom-made and engineered, using proprietary formwork components and rated load calculations that follow the manufacturer's specifications. A basic formwork system is limited by the following conditions: • The height of the formwork may be up to a maximum of 6 m to the soffit of the new floor from the supporting floor • Walls and columns may not be greater than 6 m free standing from the floor on which the formwork will be supported to the top surface of the concrete • Any back-propping is excluded from basic formwork systems and is to be certified by an engineer. A basic formwork system can be certified by either a formwork designer or an engineer. When any of these characteristics are met, or back propping is used, the system is characterised as a non- basic formwork system that requires an engineer's certification.

No part of this work may be produced, published, communicated to the public or adapted without permission. Services Training Package Page 15 of 88 Non-basic formwork systems Formwork systems that exceed the description of a basic formwork system are, for the purposes of this guide, categorised as non-basic formwork systems. For the purposes of this guide, only an engineer may certify: • The design of any temporary or permanent formwork structures categorised as non-basic formwork systems • Any back-propping used for either basic or non-basic formwork systems. Non-basic formwork systems include formwork structures for any floor, wall or column higher than 6 m, or three frames, or three times the least base width of the scaffold. Watch the following You Tube video: ‘How to build formwork – DIY at Bunnings’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YSH3Z3dyV4 Documentation The extent of documentation required for any structure may vary depending on the complexity of the formwork and supporting structure design and the conditions in which it is to be constructed. The documentation requirements listed below are intended only as a reference for scenarios involving a complex construction process at a height that is deemed high risk. For some more basic and lower-risk construction applications, it is envisaged that some documentation sections may be decreased or omitted. Formwork drawings Formwork drawings show the overall layout of the formwork plans, elevations, and sections, as well as the identification and location of all members and components, such as bracing. On the drawings or other paperwork, an engineer should indicate the following: • Maximum allowable point loading to be applied and any additional propping requirements at any specific loading area • Component types and spacing • Maximum jack extensions • Bearer and joist timber type, dimensions and spacing • Prop sizes and maximum extensions • Methods for tying the structure together and spacing between ties (if required) • Form ply size, thickness and grade Where eccentric loading is to be applied to ‘U - heads’ (i.e. single bearers are positioned to one s ide of the U-head), the formwork drawings must state that this is permitted.

Services Training Package Page 17 of 88 Project documentation Other project documentation should include the following information: • Details of fall and edge protection i.e. Perimeter scaffolding • Location of any mandatory joints and any special procedures for locating other joints • Details of any inserts, water stops, specially formed shapes or penetrations to be constructed, the location and details of which are critical to the serviceability of the permanent structure • Information on any architectural or structural component details to be cast into the structural concrete • Details of the cambering of any slabs or beams • Information about any permanent formwork systems, together with limitations on deflections and any special requirements for their erection and concreting • Limitations on the use of the permanent structure for the restraint of formwork • Minimum stripping strength or times, stripping procedures and requirements for health and safety • Detailed information on the effect of pre or post-tensioning procedures on the formwork and any special procedures to be adopted in the stripping of formwork • Details of back-propping that may be required and minimum time intervals between concrete pours, including requirements for propping of any composite construction • For multistorey constructions, requirements for the minimum number of levels of supports in relation to the type of formwork, the timing and sequence of floor propping, and the expected duration between the construction of following floors. On-site coordination & verification Complex projects necessitate the ongoing and diligent coordination of a skilled management and supervisory staff. Subcontractors are able to do work in a more orderly, safe, and productive manner when operations are properly scheduled and organised. On-site access to formwork, project, and variant paperwork is also required for effective coordination and technical accuracy. The risk of failure increases when efficient site coordination is not implemented or when a construction team lacks access to critical technical information. Coordination and administration The risk to a person’s health and safety must be considered when designing a work program for erecting, altering or dismantling formwork. Consideration should be given to: • Edge protection requirements and ensuring these are designed and constructed in a timely manner to be safe to use • Sequencing work to ensure that sufficient time and resources are allowed for each work activity • Coordinating trades to allow work to be completed free from obstruction.

No part of this work may be produced, published, communicated to the public or adapted without permission. Services Training Package Page 19 of 88 How do you know what safety requirements apply to your workplace? Recently the old OHS laws have been replaced with the new Work Health and Safety Act. There are a range of new Codes of Practice, safety standards, regulations and insurance impacts that affect the workplace. Each workplace will have different WHS requirements that must be met. At the most basic level an employer is required to provide a safe workplace as reasonably practicable. You can access your relevant state legislation at http://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au . Acts, regulations, codes and standards Duty of Care All personnel have a legal responsibility under duty of care to do everything reasonably practicable to protect others from harm by complying with safe work practices, including activities that require licences, tickets or certificates of competency or any other relevant state and territory WHS requirements. This includes: • Employers and self-employed persons • Persons in control of the work site • Supervisors • Designers, Manufacturers and Suppliers of plant and equipment • Workers/employees/personnel including people from a range of cultural, social and religious backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities. • Sub-contractors Identify work health and safety hazards, assess risks and implement suitable controls Acts, regulations, codes and standards The Australian WHS legal framework consists of a tiered hierarchy of Act, Regulation, Codes of Practice and Standards. Acts Set out general safety requirements and enforcement policies. Regulations Set out safety requirements for specific industries and tasks – what must be done (i.e. provide safe plant) but give limited details on how to make it safe. Codes of Practices and Industry Standards Are guidelines that give examples on how to carry out the task safely. They are the minimum standard to be followed unless an equal or better standard can be provided. Acts Set out general safety requirements and enforcement policies.

Often, the guidance material relates to a topic (e.g. PPE) or industry (e.g. Horticulture, Mining). Search the relevant authority website for either the topic, industry sector or other suitable term.’ National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work The National Standard for Construction Work [NOHSC:1016 (2005)] (the National Standard), aims to protect persons from the hazards associated with construction work. This Code of Practice provides guidance to persons working in the general and residential construction sectors on the types of induction training that may be needed to provide construction workers with an awareness and understanding of common hazards on construction sites and how they should be managed. Read the National Standard at: https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/system/files/documents/1702/inductionforconstructionwork_ 2007_pdf.pdf Policies and Procedures An employer should, so far as is reasonably practicable, provide and maintain for employees a working environment that is safe and without risks to health. ‘Reasonably practicable’ has regard to: • The severity of the hazard or risk. • The state of knowledge about that hazard or risk and any ways of removing or mitigating it. • The availability and suitability of ways to remove or mitigate the hazard or risk. • The cost of removing or minimising that hazard or risk. [OHS Act Vic 20(2)] This includes: • Providing and maintaining plant or systems of work that are, safe and without risks to health. • Providing information, instruction, training or supervision necessary to enable employees to perform their work in a way that is safe and without risks to health. In order to meet these requirements, policies and procedures should be developed for the workplace.

No part of this work may be produced, published, communicated to the public or adapted without permission. Services Training Package Page 23 of 88 Policies There may be a need for many workplace policies including general WHS, environmental, workplace bullying and intimidation, alcohol and drugs, etc. A policy describes: • The desired standard • A timeframe • Management’s commitment to fulfilling the policy • What is expected of all employees in relation to the particular issue What should a policy contain? • The health and safety objectives of the business, and how the employer will implement the policy to achieve those objectives. • The WHS roles and responsibilities of managers, supervisors and all people with a role to play in health and safety. • That the policy was prepared in consultation with staff or their elected health and safety representatives. • The policy should be signed off by the business owner and a worker representative, and should have a date for review. All people affected by the policy should be informed about it. • Everyone should easily understand the policy. It may be necessary to translate it into other languages. Management should ensure that all people in the workplace are made aware of the policy. Its contents need to be clearly explained. Everyone should be encouraged to ask questions of the employer if they do not understand their roles and responsibilities. Procedures A procedure sets out step-by-step instructions for how to deal with an activity in the workplace. Where there are workplace hazards and risks to the health and safety of people, the procedure sets out what to do at every stage of the activity to avoid accidents and injuries to all people. To develop a procedure all potential hazards should be considered. The steps should be in the correct sequence. Developing a safe system of work can be achieved by completing a Job Safety Analysis. Ensure that all aspects have been considered for the procedure. Once procedures are in place, workers should be trained to follow the procedures. Ideally, Standard Operating Procedures will be developed with the involvement of all people from the workplace who work at the tasks. Induction Every employer should have procedures that ensure a new employee is carefully and thoroughly inducted into the workplace. A variety of policies, procedures and forms may be used during this process and will be dependent on legislated requirements and individual business needs. An Enterprise WHS Consultation Procedure and Induction is a good starting point, as it ensures the importance of WHS and safe work practices are very evident from day one. Employees also have specific responsibilities: • To be responsible for your own health and safety • Act in a manner that will not affect the safety of yourself or others • Make a constructive contribution to workplace meetings, workplace activities, inspections • Raise OHS issues with designated personnel according to organisational procedures • Complete daily tasks and operate equipment following designated safe work procedures • To never work under the influence of drugs or alcohol • Correctly use and look after any Personal Protective Equipment provided • Follow all reasonable instructions • Participates in appropriate induction and training as required

These documents will give you some guidance into the expectations, culture and requirements of your workplace. Hazards and risks It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure they identify and report hazards and risks in the workplace. A ‘hazard’ can be anything that has the potential to harm. Hazards can include things like – equipment or machinery, exposure to electrical currents, heights, loud noise, dangerous chemicals or substances and so on. A hazard is also known as the ‘source’ of potential harm/injury. Types of hazards can include exposure to: • Chemicals • Extreme heat or cold • Crushing • Unprotected equipment • Spillage • Infectious material (e.g. asbestos) • Lifting and moving equipment • Cuts and bruising • Uneven or slippery surfaces • Moving parts • Gas / Fuel • Falls from heights • Lack of oxygen • Contacting with moving parts • Electrical installations A ‘risk’ is the likelihood or level of impact determined when a hazard has been identified. The important thing to note is that the level of risk is dependent on the hazard and will either increase or decrease in impact and severity.

Services Training Package Page 26 of 88 Acute and chronic hazards ‘Acute hazards’ are those that have an obvious and immediate impact e.g. slippery floor where there is an immediate danger of someone slipping or being injured. ‘Chronic hazards’ have a more hidden, cumulative, long -term impact e.g. workplace bullying, where the long-term impact may result in stress or other psychological injury. Hazard management process: If you identify a hazard in your workplace you are obliged under the law to report it. Usually your employer will have a form to be completed. The information required includes; your name, the date and time, area and your supervisor’s name. You need to describe what happened or the nature of the hazard. The form also asks you to suggest some possible solutions to the problem. Identify the hazards Assess the risks Implement risk control measures

Services Training Package Page 28 of 88 Incident reporting The following information on incident reporting has been taken from https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/incident-reporting Certain sorts of workplace mishaps must be reported to your regulator, according to the model WHS Act. Only the most serious safety accidents must be reported to your regulator, and they trigger requirements to maintain the incident site pending further instructions from your regulator. Notifiable incidents Notifiable incidents are: • The death of a person — whether an employee, contractor or member of the public. • A serious injury or illness. • A dangerous incident that exposes any person to a serious risk, even if no one is injured. If a notifiable incident occurs the model WHS Act states that: • The regulator must be immediately notified. • Written notification must be submitted within 48 hours if requested by the regulator. • The incident site is preserved until an inspector arrives or directs otherwise. However, this doesn’t prevent any action to help an injured person or make the site saf e. Call 000 if there is an immediate risk to life. Refer to your state/territory regulator for further information. Types of risks Inherent risk The combination of likelihood and consequence assigned to a particular hazard under the assumption that there are no control measures in place. Residual risk The risk assessed with the control measures in place. To manage the residual risk, every effort must be made to ensure the implemented control measures have taken into account both the reduction of ‘likelihood’ and ‘consequence’. Residual risk is assessed to ensure the implemented control measures provide appropriate protection, thereby resulting in an acceptable level of risk. Typically, if the residual risk is: • Low, then the approval of the relevant supervisor is required prior to the job commencing • Moderate/Medium, then the approval of the relevant department supervisor is required prior to the job commencing • High/Extreme, then the approval of the department manager or superintendent is required prior to the job commencing If the inherent and residual risks that have been identified, you will then need to assess the consequences of those risks. Once you have determined the consequences, you can implement appropriate safety measures/controls

Effectiveness Type of control Example Most effective Least effective Elimination Discontinue use of product or equipment, and cease work process. Substitution Can the task, process, equipment be substituted with a less hazardous one? Isolation Can the hazard be isolated to prevent exposure? Engineering controls Can the task, equipment, process be re-designed to reduce the risk? Administration controls Provide training, information to employees to ensure they can work safely. Personal protective equipment Equipment provided to place a barrier between employee and the hazard.

No part of this work may be produced, published, communicated to the public or adapted without permission. Services Training Package Page 32 of 88 Personal protective equipment (PPE) Personal protective equipment is also known as (PPE). Personal protective equipment helps to protect workers against potential injuries. PPE must be worn according to worksite rules and regulations. While the use of PPE is the least effective control because it does not remove the danger, and relies on the individual to use the PPE effectively, it is necessary to protect workers for many of the tasks in the construction industry. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) comprises a range of clothing and equipment which is worn by employees, students, contractors or visitors as appropriate to protect or shield their bodies from workplace hazards. There are many types of PPE that can be considered in categories, based on the type of protection afforded by the equipment. Respiratory protection e.g. disposable, cartridge, air-line, half or full face Eye protection e.g. spectacles/goggles, shields, visors Hearing protection e.g. ear muffs and plugs Hand protection e.g. gloves and barrier creams Foot protection e.g. shoes/boots Head protection e.g. helmets, caps, hoods, hats Protection from falls e.g. harness and fall arrest devices Skin protection e.g. hats, sunburn cream, long sleeved clothes Other protection e.g. protective clothing for extremely hot or cold environments Legal requirements related to PPE: Employer’s obligations Employee’s obligations • Ensure that all workers have personal protective equipment (PPE). • Ensure each item of PPE is appropriate for each particular workplace hazard. • Ensure each item of PPE is appropriate for each individual worker. • Provide training in appropriate use of PPE. • Provide additional training to supervisors to ensure they understand their role in enforcing the wearing and use of PPE. • Ensure all PPE meets the appropriate standards. • Ensure all PPE is cleaned and maintained. • Use the protective clothing or equipment in a manner in which he or she has been properly instructed to use it. • Do not misuse or damage the clothing or equipment. • As soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of any damage to, malfunction of, or need to clean or sterilise the clothing or equipment, notify the person providing the clothing or equipment and/or your supervisor.

Services Training Package Page 33 of 88 Signage and barricade requirements are identified and implemented Formwork construction zone physical barriers A physical barrier should be provided and maintained to separate the formwork work zone from other workers. This barrier must be rigid, capable of maintaining its integrity in an upright position and capable of supporting signage if required. Watch the following You Tube video: ‘Don’t ignore the exclusion zone’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hteCXzb_pK0 The use of flags and tape or unsupported barriers is not acceptable. Where the design of the formwork is complex and the profile of the deck is constantly changing, construction of leading-edge protection may create more hazards than it would control. In such cases, it may be impractical to provide edge protection, as anyone installing the edge protection would be exposed to the risk of falls. In some situations, perimeter edge protection must be installed. Examples include: • Where there is a change in deck height along the side of the deck being constructed, (i.e. A drop down for a beam) and no joists or form ply have yet been installed at this different height • Where a leading edge is to be left unattended and access onto the deck is required by anyone other than form workers (i.e. The formwork deck has not been barricaded off and marked with ‘keep out’ signs).

No part of this work may be produced, published, communicated to the public or adapted without permission. Services Training Package Page 34 of 88 Edge protection on completed decks The most effective means of providing edge protection on a completed formwork deck is to install perimeter scaffolding. Scaffolding is erected prior to the formwork and, therefore, prevents workers falling from the completed deck. The advantages of this system are that edge protection for installers of the final perimeter form ply sheets is already in place, there is no requirement to install edge protection on the perimeter, and no exposure to a risk of falling. In some rare situations, it may be impractical to provide perimeter scaffolding. In such cases, edge protection must be installed and the work system used for this installation must include a control measure against the risk of a fall. The use of harness systems is discouraged, because it does not provide an adequate level of protection from injury and is an impractical control for the risk of a fall from height in formwork erection. In some situations, edge protection can be substituted with an alternative measure, provided this measure prevents a person falling from the edge. One alternative is the provision of a barricade, 1.8 m from the edge with clearly visible ‘keep out’ signs Further guidance on stanchions, guard rails (hand rails) and mid rails for minimum strength and rigidity is specified in AS 1657 Fixed platforms, walkways, stairways and ladders – Design, construction and installation. Where scaffolding is over 4 m in height, only licensed and authorised scaffolders may erect, dismantle or alter the scaffolding. Any scaffolding components that are temporarily removed must be replaced at the earliest opportunity. Any gaps between a completed floor and scaffolding, that may exist after the formwork support system is removed, must be covered where there is a risk of a person or materials falling through.

So, we can take the surface area of concrete for the shuttering area. The form area (Quantity) depends on the surface area of concrete. Quantity of formwork for slab Any shape of slab shuttering (formwork) can be found easily. The shape of concrete surface area is the area of formwork. Watch the following You Tube video: ‘Slab on ground concrete calculations’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zF87MsP4PY Materials All formwork materials and equipment must be fit for their intended function, fulfil design specifications, and be developed to comply with relevant Australian Standards. Equipment must be constructed using a quality assurance system to ensure that it meets the design specifications. Evidence verifying that form ply sheets and timber bearers conform to Australian Standards should be kept on-site. Such evidence may include: • A purchase order which details the specifications of the form ply sheets ordered • Form ply sheets being marked in accordance with Australian standards (see AS/NZS 2269.0:2008 plywood-structural specification). Materials include: • Bolts and nuts • Boxing, either timber, metal, masonry, fibre cement sheeting or reconstituted timber products • Coach screws • Metal brackets • Nails and spikes • Patented metal fasteners • Steel tie rods.

Services Training Package Page 36 of 88 If alternative products, other than timber are used, an engineer should verify that they are adequate for purpose. Material storage The OHS Regulations demand that plant and materials be stacked and stored in a safe manner at work. Materials must be stored in such a way that manual job hazards, trip hazards, and the risk of falling objects are minimised. Smaller parts like U- heads, couplers, base plates, and ‘Z -bars' should be kept in labelled material boxes with safe load limitations (SLL). To protect materials or anybody accessing them from falling, frames, form ply sheets, bearers, and joists should be strapped in bundles or stacks and situated away from the edge of the deck. Wall forms should be piled so that they do not slip or spin away from the surface against which they are set. An engineer shall ensure that a surface to be used for stacking forms can bear all imposed loads, including wind loading, in writing. If no purpose- built ‘A -frames' for storing wall forms when not in use are available, it is preferred to lay them flat on the ground rather than leaning them against other structures. Under forms where slings are to be used for hoisting, timbers or other appropriate methods of support should be used. Storage to minimise manual task risks Incorrect material delivery and storage practices can create significant manual handling risks. Safe work practices that can assist in minimising these risks include: • Assuring that formwork supplies are delivered as close to the job site as possible • Designing and establishing a loading platform for ply and other components on a small part of the formwork deck. • Whenever possible, ensure that mechanical assistance are employed to carry loads. • Loads should be stored on trolleys to avoid double handling, or on high platforms to avoid manual raising from the ground. • Having enough storage space or laydown places to safely store materials/equipment and avoid double handling is essential.

Services Training Package Page 37 of 88 Environmental requirements are identified for the project in accordance with environmental plans and statutory and regulatory authority obligations, and are applied Health concerns Noise The OHSW Regulations, Division 10 – Noise, outlines what must be done to protect workers from the dangers of excessive noise at work. The following are the Approved Codes of Practice under the OHSW Act: • National Code of Practice for Noise Management and Protection of Hearing at Work • AS 1270: 1988 Acoustics – Hearing Protectors. The Codes require all workers to be protected from the risk of noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) during their work. If no engineering solution is available, either ear plugs or ear muffs can be used. Using hammers on metal during the building or takedown of formwork can result in exceptionally loud metal on metal impact noises. Because of its high impulsive noise level, such noise might cause immediate hearing impairment. Other loud noises, such as those produced by a circular saw, might gradually damage a person's hearing over time if exposed to them on a frequent basis. The use of the hearing protectors must be enforced where a risk assessment identifies them as the preferred option to control the risk. Construction site management frequently requires all workers to wear hearing protection at all times. Hearing protectors are frequently the sole choice for NIHL protection during formwork activities. Dust and atmospheric contaminants Division 17 – Ventilation of the OHSW Regulations describes obligations that must be met for atmospheric contaminants, including silica dust. While concrete is not a dangerous material in and of itself, formwork procedures can produce large levels of silica dust. Silica dust is a dangerous substance that is produced when power tools are used to cut, grind, chip, scrape, crush, or blast concrete. When dismantling building equipment or doing demolition work, silica dust might be formed to a lesser extent by sweeping or cleaning. The visibility of dust is not always an appropriate indicator of the level of risk. On building sites or other earthworks sites, highly visible dust produced by earthmoving equipment is unlikely to contain harmful quantities of respirable silica dust. Other activities, on the other hand, may produce dangerous levels of silica dust, even if it is hardly visible. All reasonable steps must be taken to minimise the exposure to silica dust. Silica dust that is generated during formwork can be controlled by: • Using dust extraction or a wet process as a dust suppressant engineering control • Providing respirators (as a last resort) where dust is likely to exceed permissible levels.

Services Training Package Page 38 of 88 Housekeeping – access and storage Formwork construction creates a dynamic work environment with limited access through frames and formwork supports, as well as enormous amounts of material and trash. As a result, it is necessary to review housekeeping procedures on a regular basis in order to maintain a safe and productive workplace. Include cleanliness as an important part of any job, whether through work instructions, regular workplace inspections, or site/task induction training. Instructions should provide time and resources for cleaning up work areas in stages to avoid trash and redundant materials becoming a trip hazard and to allow safe access for mechanical aids. Access and egress Division 1 – Access and egress – of the OHSW Regulations requires that there be unobstructed access to and from the workplace. For the safe transportation of supplies, equipment, and anyone on-site, clear access is essential. Access points should be clearly marked, and anybody on site should be directed to utilise them. Any trash, plants, or items must be kept out of the access paths. Green hazard tape/bunting or other visual approaches can clearly highlight where access ways are situated in particular scenarios. This is especially critical when formwork frames are used to gain access. Emergency access and egress must be provided to all parts of the workplace. The following situations should be considered: • Stretcher access and egress • People carrying tools and equipment • Use of stairs • Provision of two means of egress at all times Environmental requirements Environmental requirements include: • Clean-up protection • Noise and dust • Vibration • Waste management. Fibre-cement sheets are made without the use of asbestos. However, a carpenter may be called upon to work on remodelling or repair jobs where asbestos sheeting may be present. Eaves lining was traditionally made of asbestos sheeting, and a tradesperson may encounter asbestos sheeting on a regular basis while working on remodelling or repair projects. A work-safe tradesperson will explore the most up-to-date methods for thoroughly and properly removing this hazardous material (for more information, check your state's work safety authority website or offices). All construction projects have the potential to have a detrimental environmental impact. More than a third of landfill waste comes from the construction industry, and the majority of what is discarded could be reclaimed.

No part of this work may be produced, published, communicated to the public or adapted without permission. Services Training Package Page 39 of 88 Even though setting out tasks have a relatively low impact on the environment, you’ll still need to: 1 Remove general waste 2 Discard, reuse or recycle any materials you use 3 Use dust suppression techniques if the ground is significantly disturbed 4 Make sure your clean-up procedures and products do not damage the environment. You must be aware of your responsibilities with regard to the requirements of your state or territory Regulations and any existing site environmental management plan (EMP). Environmental protection requirements Environmental protection requirements are part of every worksite – regulations/requirements are important to consider during the planning and preparation stage because you need to be aware of what type of work you are allowed to perform in the physical environment by law. Environmental regulations provide a guideline on what you can or can’t use, for example, using certain chemicals as they have a negative impact to both the physical environment and on human health. Another example is the way in which waste should be disposed of in order to avoid the adverse effects that waste can have on the environment. Make sure you check with your supervisor about what environmental issues need to be managed during your work. All environmental details should be liste d in an ‘Environmental Management Plan’ for the site. It can include details for: • Waste management • Water quality protection • Stormwater management • Noise control • Vibration control • Dust management • Clean-up management There are various environmental protection regulations that are applicable. These include: • Environment Protection (Residential Noise) Regulations 2008 • Environment Protection (Industrial Waste Resource) Regulations 2009 • Pollution of Waters by Oil and Noxious Substances Regulations 2012 Violations to these regulations can be reported to the Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA), to the local council, police etc.

Services Training Package Page 40 of 88 Resource efficiency and waste minimisation Recycling processes and procedures help to minimise negative impacts upon the environment by saving the earth’s resources (oil, soil, water). Recycling reducing how much energy we consume, in addition to reducing pollution and minimising the effects of global warming. Always reuse and recycle materials where possible. See below for some examples of how materials can be reused: Concrete • Can be washed and used on other projects • Can be crushed and reused for road fill Bricks/Tiles/Glass • Can be cleaned and/or sold • Can be crushed and used as gravel, aggregate or road fill Aluminium/Plastics • Can be recycled into new products • Can be used on other projects • Can be sold or made into a new product Timber • Salvaged timber and wood products can be reused and recycled • Timber can be re-milled, de-nailed, sawn to size and turned into new timber products If materials can’t be recycled, it is important to dispose of the waste safely and appropriately. Placing signage around the workplace is a good way to remind others to recycle and to dispose of materials and waste appropriately. It is always important to follow your organisational policies for waste disposal. Re-use and disposal of soil Excess soil refers to the soil that has been excavated which either cannot or will not be reused at the site where it was excavated. EPA Victoria provides guidance on the appropriate re-use or disposal of excess soil to mitigate and avoid adverse effects on human and environmental health. Soil has the potential to contain contaminants such as chemicals and asbestos. Contaminated soils cannot always be reused – disposal methods adopted depend on the nature of the contaminated material. Some types of contaminated soils must either be disposed of offsite and professionally treated. For further information on the re-use and disposal of soil, visit https://www.epa.vic.gov.au/for- business/new-laws-and-your-business/manage-waste/waste-classification/managing-waste-soil Project Environmental Management Plan An EMP details the environmental management requirements to be followed. EMP should include: • The requirements for environmental management during the planning, implementation, evaluation and review of construction activities • The responsibilities for implementing this EMP • The Project Delivery Standards (PDS) including environmental controls to ensure that project objectives and targets are achieved • An overview of the environmental monitoring programs and contingency plans and associated management actions • The transition arrangements from construction phase to operations

Services Training Package Page 43 of 88 Section 2 – Erect formwork Design of footing and/or slab on ground is identified from job drawings and specifications, and is checked to be in accordance with legislation, regulations and codes of practice Slab on Ground and Footing Design The design of a floor/footing for a residential building necessitates an understanding and consideration of a wide range of elements, including architectural, environmental, and material considerations. The first, and arguably most important, concern is to disperse vertical loads from the building to the foundation and guarantee that the superstructure of the building functions well. The BCA mandates that all structures, including domestic structures, meet the Performance Requirements. The Approving Authority, which could be a local council or a private certifier, certifies that the plans meet the BCA's standards. This often indicates that the details meet the applicable Australian Standard. When an alternate solution is presented, however, it must be demonstrated that it meets the Performance Requirements. This can be time consuming, which is why most people opt for the deemed-to-satisfy option. As a result, the Guide adopts AS 2870, i.e. the deemed-to-satisfy approach. Local Authorities do not always require an engineer to be involved in the design of domestic slab/footings. Nevertheless, the engagement of an engineer to prepare the design is recommended. Note that this usually means that the engineer will not need to create a one-off design, but will instead rely on engineering knowledge to determine the site classification, choose from the floor/footing options listed in AS 2870, and determine appropriate beam layouts and details.

Services Training Package Page 44 of 88 Formwork is set out to requirements of drawings and specifications Installation In most cases, a skilled subcontractor working for the builder should supply and assemble the formwork. Although the temporary structure's workmanship and safety will be the responsibility of the subcontractor, the builder must ensure that his work complies with the specification, working drawings, and appropriate Australian standards. The requirements for formwork are: Strength During steel fixing, concrete installation, and following early placement of building components on the constructed slab, to sustain permanent and imposed actions (dead and live loads) (stacking, etc). Stability (bracing) To offset eccentric loads caused by concrete laying as well as lateral, wind, earthquake, and impact loads. Grout-tightness To avoid the loss of grout and particles from the concrete and, as a result, to generate a surface suitable for the soffit finish specified.

Services Training Package Page 45 of 88 Steps for erecting formwork: • Select fasteners and fixings making sure they’re strong enough and they will be able to hold the form in place. • Construct and erect formwork shutters and/or edge boxing. Edge boxing – is basically used for paving jobs i.e. driveway, path, shed, slab. Shutters are used to support slabs and formwork with extra depth • Install block outs and cast in services. Block outs are attached to form to allow you to put in services at a later date. • Apply release agents according to manufacturer specifications. A release agent is used when applying stamped / slate impression concrete. Can be either liquid or powder form. Form oil should be applied to the inside of the formwork to stop it sticking to the concrete and thus make removal easier. Coat before the reinforcement is put in place. • Formwork must be erected according to plans and specifications. • When forming steps, it is critical to check and recheck the elevations Watch the following You Tube video: ‘Erecting conventional formwork’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7BHGIvGe8g

Services Training Package Page 46 of 88 Levelling • The principle of levelling is to transfer a given height from one point to another point, or to compare the height of one mark to the height of another mark • There are many different types of leve ls, ranging from laser, automatic and ‘dumpy levels’ which require tripods and staffs • Levelling involves adding or removing materials to create a specific height or grade • Levelling ensures that the concrete surface is flat and smooth; it also checks that the correct amount of concrete has been used Always refer back to the plans and specifications to confirm measurements. Guidelines for documenting measurements are detailed in the worksite and organisational requirements. Levelling equipment Levelling equipment must be checked regularly and calibrated generally every 12 months to maintain accuracy of the equipment. Any faults that are identified with levelling equipment must be reported to your supervisor immediately. When faults are found, previous levels must be checked and confirmed. Two-peg test The two-peg test is a method for checking that an automatic level and laser level are providing accurate readings. The levels should be checked on at least two pegs at the start of the level run. This is based on the height of the instrument. The same answer should be calculated from each of the two pegs based on the same height of the machine. Often, known points are used, e.g. benchmark or control line pegs with predetermined heights.

Edge rebates – Purpose Edge rebates must be provided in the edge-stiffening beam whether the exterior walls are masonry veneer or full masonry. A check out from the edge beam creates a ledge for the brick to rest on that is lower than the slab's top. This is a precautionary measure to keep surface run-off water out of the structure. The rebate must be flashed, and weep holes in the masonry must be provided. To allow water to drain out and away from the wall and slab, the weep holes must be spaced at a minimum of 1.2 metres apart.

Services Training Package Page 52 of 88 Formwork support is braced to job requirements and specifications Reinforcement The steel found in many concrete structures is called reinforcement. Reinforcement helps concrete resist tensile and shear forces, and helps control cracking in concrete. Normal concrete Reinforced concrete HIGH compressive strength VERY HIGH compressive strength VERY LOW tensile strength VERY HIGH tensile strength VERY LOW shear strength VERY HIGH shear strength Compressive, tensile, and shear forces all act when a load is applied. Concrete has a high resistance to compression but is rather weak in tension. In all forms of concrete structures where tensile or shear pressures may crack or shatter the concrete, horizontal and/or vertical reinforcing is applied. Horizontal reinforcement aids in the resistance to tensile forces. Vertical reinforcement aids in the resistance to shear forces. Vertical reinforcement The correct placement of reinforcement and ensuring that it remains in place during concrete laying are critical to the structure's performance. In the blueprints, the position of reinforcement will be shown. The number of bars, bar lengths, bends, and placements will all be indicated on the designs. To effectively resist compressive, tensile, and shear pressures and assist control cracking, reinforcement must be installed in the proper position. The reinforcement in trenches and slabs is supported by bar chairs, and it must be tightly fastened to the chairs so that it does not move when concrete is poured around it. The reinforcing bars and mesh should be placed in such a way that there is adequate space between them for the concrete to be placed and compacted. Reinforcing bars must be fixed in place so that they do not move during the pouring of concrete. Tie wire is used for this.

Services Training Package Page 55 of 88 Snap Tie or Simple Tie: The wire is simply wrapped once in a diagonal way around the two crossing bars, with the two ends on top. With a pair of side-cutters, twist them together until they are very tight against the bars. The wire's loose ends are then snipped off. This tie is mostly used on floor slabs. Wall Tie: This tie is constructed by running around the vertical bar about 1 1/2 times, then diagonally around the intersection, twisting the two ends together until the connection is tight but not broken, then cutting off the extra tie wire. On light vertical steel mats, the wall tie is employed. Double-Strand Single Tie: This tie is a twist on the classic tie. It is particularly well suited to heavy tasks. Saddle Tie: The wires are carried squarely or diagonally around the crossing bar, with the ends twisted together and cut off, after passing halfway around one of the bans on either side of the crossing bar. This tie is worn in unusual places, such as on walls. Saddle Tie & Twist: This tie is a spin-off of the classic saddle tie. The tie wire is wrapped completely around one bar, then squarely across and halfway around the other, on both sides of the crossing bars, before being twisted either squarely or diagonally across. For heavy carpets that will be lifted by a crane, the saddle tie with twist is employed. Cross Tie/ Figure-8 Tie: This type of tie has the advantage of causing little or no twist in the bars. The reinforcement must be placed so there is enough concrete covering it to protect it from rusting. Both the concrete cover and strength should be shown in the plans. To help control the width of cracks, or their location, there must be a strong bond between concrete and reinforcement. This allows the tensile forces to be transferred to the reinforcement.

Services Training Package Page 58 of 88 Termite barriers Concrete slabs should be planned and manufactured in compliance with Australian Standards to have little shrinkage cracking and hence pose a low termite risk. Joints, penetrations, and the slab's edge all need to be handled. The termite barrier is made up of concrete slabs. Termites, on the other hand, may be able to get access to timber framing around the slab's margins, around service pipes and plumbing fixture box- outs, or through naturally occurring fractures in the concrete. The bulk of termite infestations happen along the building's perimeter. The presence of termites can be easily detected by leaving an exposed edge around the perimeter of a concrete slab. Before the slab is laid, a chemical barrier can be applied; service pipes and the slab's perimeter can also be protected with stainless steel mesh or graded stone. Termite prevention systems are designed to reduce termite access while also allowing for easy detection of termite presence. To keep concrete slabs from breaking and providing a barrier against termites, proper reinforcing, concreting, and curing procedures must be used.

Services Training Package Page 59 of 88 Block-outs and cast-in services are installed to specified locations Concrete Forms for Construction Moulds made of EPS are used to make concrete objects like columns, counter tops, and sinks. It can be used to make parapet caps and other shapes that demand more intricacy than other materials can easily or affordably provide. Concrete Block-outs For tilt-up wall panels and vertical poured in situ applications, concrete block-outs are commonly composed of EPS. The EPS has the requisite compression strength to support the weight of wet concrete, and the pieces are pre-cut and ready to use when delivered to the jobsite. The EPS may be readily removed once the concrete has hardened. For further information on concrete forms and block-outs, go to https://universalconstructionfoam.com/products/concrete-forms-and-block-outs/secant-forms/ Watch the following You Tube video: ‘Concrete blackout’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkXeKck6E4Q Casting Accurate positioning of services and inserts is critical. Cast-in services require that: • All plumbing be silver soldered with minimum joins, or other system with proven durability used • Services conduits be oversized and provide access points for future upgrading or maintenance • The plan of the services layout be retained for reference to avoid potential future damage • All plumbing and particularly hot water lines be lagged to allow for thermal expansion and movement, and prevent heat loss • The window supplier be notified that windows are for precast openings and must conform to precise dimensions • Precast window formwork and templates be accurate, square and sized to supplier’s dimensions • Rebates or cast-in flashing details are well resolved • Adequate curing times be allowed for on-site pours • The concrete strength be certified at pour and before lifting (slump test and test cylinders).

Services Training Package Page 60 of 88 Formwork While dependent on the precast contractor, accuracy levels with precast systems are usually extremely high due to the quality of reusable formwork and workshop conditions. A slab not perfectly level, or twisted or warped, can have a problem with tilt-up. Formwork frames must be absolutely square to ensure clean, tight corner junctions and plumb walls. Release agents are applied to formwork face, where specified, to manufacturer specifications Concrete Formwork (Shuttering) Releasing Agents Releasing agents are coatings that are placed to the formwork surface prior to concreting in order to make the formwork or shuttering easier to remove. If the look of the concrete surface is significant, special attention should be paid to the shuttering's finish surface. All faults on the ‘form' surface, such as vibrating poker, variable characteristics in form-face material, and marks of unequal water absorption in lumber, will be reflected in the finished concrete surface. A compressed air hose should be used to sweep up loose wire and debris before pouring the concrete. Steel particles should be eliminated since they will corrode and tamper with the concrete's final surface. Watch the following You Tube video: ‘How to use EFCO form release by NOx - Crete’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNfmf3GJ1Z4 Functions of Releasing Agents • Most important function of Releasing Agents is to permit easy removal of shuttering. Apart from this some major functions and advantages of using releasing agents includes: • Reduce the incidence of blowholes • Deliver the recommended surface finish for the concrete member cast. • Reduce the loss of water from the concrete due to absorption in case of timber forms • Reduce leakage of water and moisture during curing of concrete. • They protects the form work and make the reuse of shuttering possible. • Helps in reducing cracks due to internal restrains.

No part of this work may be produced, published, communicated to the public or adapted without permission. Services Training Package Page 61 of 88 Types of Release Agents with Merits There are several vendors and different types of release agents on the market. Surfactant oils, chemical release agents, and mould cream emulsions are the most beneficial of these oils. As a result, the site engineer should be aware of which one to employ and which is appropriate for the project. Below is a summary of the benefits of several types of releasing agents. Chemical Release Agent These are light oils based on volatile oils that dry on the surface, leaving a thin water-resistant coating on the shuttering that protects the form from rain. Chemical Agents have the following benefits and facts: • It can be used for all types of formwork. • It doesn’t leave any oily film after it is dry, giving a safer surface to walk on unlike an oily film. • Release agent does not stick on operatives’ footwear preventing accidental coating on rebars. • More rate of coverage than conventional oils. • It is expensive for a given volume but can be economical based on the application method. Mould Cream Emulsion Except for steel formwork, cream emulsions can be widely used for all types of shuttering. It has to be mixed thoroughly before using and dilution is not allowed. • Recommended for absorbent surfaces such as timber form. • It provides high quality finishes. • It can be spray applied • Unlike chemical releasing agents it cannot be used for concreting under freezing • Shelf life may be limited. Neat Oil with surfactant These are general-purpose release agent for all types of shuttering including steel formworks. • Over application may cause staining of concrete. • Not water resistant and oil film may be washed by heavy rain. • Repeated or progressive use reduces the finish and leaves colour changes on finished surface. • New and old forms should not be used together. The appearance of forms made of painted wood and plastics with a shiny surface changes with the number of uses. Following further applications, these forms yield a lower-quality concrete surface. A similar look can be achieved with some plastic-faced plywoods. The initial few applications of these materials might leave the concrete with a very hard, dense, and virtually black surface.

Services Training Package Page 64 of 88 Section 3 – Strip formwork Stripping formwork The stripping process, like formwork erection, should be done in a systematic, orderly, and progressive way, taking into account the dangers of falls, falling objects, and manual labour hazards in the newly enclosed space. When assessing the risks from stripping formwork consider: 1 The number of people in the stripping crew 2 The sequence of stripping activities – this should detail how the frames and other supports should be removed i.e. How far u-heads are to be lowered 3 Whether the support system will be completely removed in a zone before removing the formwork deck or whether the supports will be lowered slightly but remain under the form ply while it is being removed 4 Removing nails and sharp fixings before stacking the components 5 Minimising damage to the components 6 Stacking the formwork components — do not obstruct access ways or work areas 7 Formwork components are not dropped or thrown from a building or structure 8 Flatheads are not supporting the ends of bearers 9 When back-propping is required if only a portion of the support system is to be removed, how structural components will remain in place, and the type and layout of members that will replace the formwork system are all important considerations. 10 Other special requirements involved in the stripping and or building process e.g. Checking of back-propping after post-tensioning 11 Providing lighting for the work area and surroundings, and 12 Maintaining housekeeping, removing nails and rejected materials, stacking stripped formwork and removing tripping hazards e.g. Concrete nails and brace anchor inserts from the floor. Formwork should be removed in a systematic manner so that the deck can be gradually eliminated as a support system. By partially lowering the support system and then dropping the section of the deck (sheet) onto the support system, form ply can be removed. This eliminates the need to manually pull plywood sheets from the ground.

Formwork stripping is one of the most hazardous operations in concrete construction. Hazards can include the following • Panels and other materials could fall and strike workers during stripping. • Stacked materials could fall and strike workers. • Workers could fall when formwork breaks free or if forms are being stripped at dangerous heights. • Materials could fall to lower levels and injure workers or pedestrians. • Workers can injure their joints, muscles, and bones from reaching, prying, pulling, pushing, lifting, and carrying heavy forms, panels, and other components. • Workers could be struck by loose concrete, rubble, debris, or over-pour left on columns, walls, and other structures. These hazards could also result in eye injuries. • Sharp edges on formwork, protruding nails, snap ties, conduit, and bolts can cause pinches, cuts, scrapes, abrasions, and other injuries. • Poor housekeeping can cause slips and trips. • Protruding rebar can cause cuts, abrasions, and impalement Watch the following You Tube video: ‘Stripping the forms’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3DnLItCmlI

Services Training Package Page 66 of 88 Timber components are de-nailed, cleaned and stored or stacked safely for reuse or removal from site. Removal times Formwork may be left in place to help curing. Removal time will vary according to the weather. In cold weather, concrete will take longer to gain strength than in warm weather, removal times will therefore be longer. In mild conditions (around 20°C) 7 days is long enough to leave the forms in place, unless the concrete is suspended when other considerations apply. Steps for stripping formwork: 1 Make sure concrete has cured enough to remove formwork 2 Deconstruct formwork in sequence so it does not fall on you 3 Remove edge boxing and bracing/strutting support 4 Clean timbers and stack to avoid twisting and warping Steel components are cleaned, oiled and stored or stacked to manufacturer's maintenance recommendations Steel bars and sections Steel reinforcement bars and structural steel shall be stored in a way to prevent distortion, corrosion, scaling and rusting. Reinforcement bars and structural steel sections shall be coated with cement wash before stacking, especially in humid areas. In case of long time storage or storage in coastal areas, reinforcement bars and steel sections shall be stacked at least 200 mm above ground level. Steel sections shall be stacked upon platforms, skids or any other suitable supports. Bars of different types, sizes and lengths and structural steel sections shall be stored separately to facilitate issues in required sizes and lengths without cutting from standard lengths. Ends of bars and sections of each type shall be painted with separate designated colours. Tag lines shall be used to control the load in handling reinforcing bars or structural steel when a crane is used. Heavy steel sections and bundles of reinforcing bars shall be lifted and carried with the help of slings and tackles.

Services Training Package Page 67 of 88 Damaged formwork components are safely discarded after stripping Material handling There is a high risk of overexertion during stripping and removal of formwork. Reaching, prying, pulling, and pushing, as well as lifting and carrying, can put considerable strain on joints, muscles, and bones. Follow proper lifting and carrying techniques — such as keeping feet together to lift and keeping the load close to the body when carrying. When stripping, be certain you’re in a stable position and have firm footing when you pull, push, or pry to remove formwork. Ensure that workers are not in danger of falling when the piece being removed breaks free. If there is fall hazard, fall protection must be provided and used. Formwork components may be subjected to excessive wear, field modification/bending and straightening. These components must be discarded. Do not try to straighten bent forming components, discard and replace them. Also discard any reusable device that has experienced excessive loading, 70% or more, of ultimate load. Such items may have become brittle .

Services Training Package Page 70 of 88 Section 4 – Clean up Work area is cleared and materials disposed of, reused or recycled in accordance with legislation, regulations, codes of practice and job specification. After every construction project, waste products like timber offcuts and damaged or surplus materials are left over and must be disposed of appropriately. There are laws which outline how waste materials should be dealt with and large fines can be issued if these are not followed. Companies and contractors usually develop policies and procedures to make sure everyone complies with these requirements. Facilities for waste management on a worksite or in a joinery workshop may include: • General and recycling bins • Hazardous material containers and spill kits • Dust extraction devices • Cleaning supplies. Recycling materials Carpentry materials are expensive and it’s good practice to recycle or reuse leftover material whenever possible. This also reduces the amount of waste going to landfill – important environmental consideration. At the end of a task or project, material should be sorted and disposed of, stored or moved on to the next project accordingly. • Leftover materials in good condition and in useable sizes or quantities can be kept for future projects, if appropriate storage is available. • Some used materials can be salvaged but may have to be cleaned or treated first. Timber can be reused or recycled but must be de - nailed before relocating. • There are special requirements for the disposal of hazardous waste and information can be found in safety data sheets (SDSs). For example, CCA - treated timber should not be burned, as it contains arsenic and the fumes are toxic if inhaled. There are laws which restrict the disposal of asbestos and this is usually carried out by licensed specialists Cleaning It’s essential that you clean tools and equipment thoroughly before you put them in storage or move on to a new project. Wipe all tools to clear away dust or debris and remove substances like grease or sap. Pay particular attention to tools that have been used in wet or damp conditions. Clean them with an oily rag to prevent rust and, if rust exists, remove it with steel wool or a wire brush. Use compressed air tools such as ‘blow down’ guns to clean dust from tools, but take extreme care. You should always wear appropriate PPE to avoid injury. • Lubricate moving or adjustable parts of tools to allow smooth, continuous operation. Lubrication reduces friction between moving parts, helps them to last longer and makes the machine more energy efficient. • Remove any fuel left in plant or equipment. Old fuel can go stale and affect performance. It could also present a fire hazard if it’s not removed.

No part of this work may be produced, published, communicated to the public or adapted without permission. Services Training Package Page 71 of 88 Construction waste management and disposal According to the ABS, construction and demolition waste may account for a staggering 40% of what ends up in landfills - with about 80% of that being bricks and concrete. Obviously, there’s a lot of waste involved in housing construction, especially if an existing house is being demolished. While serious waste management plans are normally expected for big commercial and industrial project tenders, the same care’s not often put into waste disposal for residential building. For now, it’s still relatively inexpensive and easy to dispose of general construction waste in landfills, although this is likely to change pretty dramatically in the near future. Increasing production costs and regulations that require lifecycle assessments or other energy efficiency measures for building materials, methods and designs are likely to make residential construction waste a serious consideration. Recycling construction waste Some builders – particularly those with a focus on sustainability and efficiency - work to ensure that materials are recycled and reused. This may include training subcontractors to categorise and separate waste on- site before it’s disposed of, to ensure that it go es to the right places. Demolishers in particular often do a good trade in reselling things like picture rails, skirting boards, floor boards, doors, ornate windows and frames, light fittings and so forth, and will often deconstruct or dismantle to some extent rather than simply demolishing a home. Minimising waste on construction sites Builders can also employ various measures to minimise the amount of waste that’s produced in the first place. Their suppliers have a role to play in this too, either by supplying at the last minute (i.e. ‘just in time deliveries’) to help reduce the amount of packaging that’s needed and the chance of breakage or spoiling, or by agreeing to take back the materials that are left over. Builders can also train their subcontractors to use offcuts in other parts of the house to help cut down on waste too. One of the biggest arguments made for prefabricated housing is that there’s less waste produced in the first place with this kind of construction. Skips and waste removal Building sites will usually feature massive bins (called skips) that are dropped off at the site and used to collect and remove waste as it’s generated. Rubbish skips are normally stored either on the building site, or just off the site in a position that won’ t cause a problem to traffic or pedestrians. Regional limitations For the time being the cheapest and least complicated option is normally just to fill a skip and throw everything into a landfill. Having said that, a builder’s ability to do much else with the waste will also depend on whether recycling facilities are actually available where the house is being built, and how willing suppliers are to help reduce waste in the first place. For more information, ask your builder how waste minimisation and disposal will work on your site. Hazardous chemicals and dangerous goods To limit the possibility of an accident, hazardous chemicals and dangerous commodities must be stored in specific containers. Gas tanks and caustic chemicals are examples of this. Natural ventilation, specific compartments, electrical earthing, and warning signs are all common features of these types of containers. These types of containers are normally made specifically so that they conform to the Australian regulations that determine how these sorts of dangerous materials should be stored.

Services Training Package Page 72 of 88 Plant, tools and equipment are cleaned, checked, maintained and stored in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and standard work practices. Plant is “any machinery, equipme nt (including scaffolding), appliance, implement or tool and any component or fitting thereof or accessory thereto”. Plant is machinery that processes material by way of a mechanical action which • Cuts, drills, punches or grinds • Presses forms, hammers, joins, or moulds material • Combines, mixes, sort, packages, assembles, knits or weaves material. Plant also includes lifts, cranes, tractors, earth moving equipment, pressure equipment, hoists, powered mobile plant, plant that lifts or moves people or materials, amusement structures, high powered lasers, turbines, explosive powered tools, scaffolds, chisels, saws, photocopiers, desks, filing cabinets and temporary access equipment. Plant should be maintained, cleaned and inspected in accordance with the recommendations of the designer, manufacturer and supplier including all safety features and warning devices maintained and tested regularly. Where practicable the systems of work (SOP) should involve the stopping plant before maintenance, cleaning or repairs are commenced and the use of lockout or isolation devices and permit to work systems. Where plant is currently in use, supervisors are required to carry out regular inspections to monitor risks to safety and health. Tools, plant and equipment Tools can be expensive and they need to be looked after when a job is completed to ensure that they remain in good working condition and are safe to use and ready for the next project. Inspection Before you start a job you must first check tools and equipment for damage or faults. For example: • With leads and cables – check for fraying or exposed wires, bent or loose plugs • With cutting edges and blades – check whether they are blunt or damaged • With metal components – look for corrosion or rust. If you find any faults, attach a repair tag and remove the equipment from use immediately. Report all faults on a worksite or in a workshop to a store person or supervisor. Damaged tools must be repaired but this should be done only by trained personnel. Some faults can be fixed only by a specialist or licensed electrician. Check the dates on inspection tags to make sure that power tools and extension leads are still safe to use and in accordance with Regulations. Make a note of upcoming inspection dates if they’re likely to occur before the next time the tool is used.

No part of this work may be produced, published, communicated to the public or adapted without permission. Services Training Package Page 73 of 88 Maintenance Regular maintenance helps to preserve the quality of tools, keep them safe and extend their lives. Doing a little maintenance each time you complete a job or project can prevent costly and time - consuming repairs or replacement. Maintenance, which should always be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines, includes: • Sharpening chisels, planes and saw blades • Replacing damaged or worn components e.g. blades, belts • Cleaning or replacing air filters, etc. Storage of tools, plant and equipment Theft is a big problem in the construction industry – particularly the theft of tools and construction equipment. Good quality construction equipment is normally really expensive, and pretty easy to conceal once it’s stolen. Likewise, building materials left out in the open on construction sites also have the potential to be removed late at night by opportunistic thieves. Many professionals have heavy-duty lockable compartments on their Utes or vans for storing tools, but huge equipment is sometimes more practical to leave on site. Builders will frequently use a special lock-up container on the job site to keep goods secure and prevent them from being harmed by rain or severe weather. Shipping containers and lock up storage boxes Perhaps the most practical and common way to keep tools and materials safe on a building site is to lock them safely away inside a shipping container. These containers come in all shapes and sizes to suit just about any site, and can be hired or bought and delivered directly to the site as they’re needed Special racks are installed in certain shipping containers to store piping and other long goods. Smaller lockable storage boxes are also available, which can be customised for a variety of uses and requirements. Safe working areas • You must provide safe access and a safe place of work • Don’t just focus on the safety of maintenance workers – take the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of others who may be affected by their work, eg other employees or contractors working nearby • Set up signs and barriers and position people at key points if they are needed to keep other people out Safe plant and equipment Plant and equipment must be made safe before maintenance starts. Safe isolation • Ensure moving plant has stopped and isolate electrical and other power supplies. Most maintenance should be carried out with the power off. If the work is near uninsulated, overhead electrical conductors, eg close to overhead travelling cranes, cut the power off first • Lock off machines if there is a chance the power could be accidentally switched back on • Isolate plant and pipelines containing pressured fluid, gas, steam or hazardous material. • Lock off isolating valves

Use the following steps to erect formwork to the slab along the outer edges of the building plan below. Step 1 Set out the boundary site. Work from a datum point set by your assessor and use an automatic level to set all string lines level with the top of the slab. Step 2 Set out pegs to support the main form. They should be set back the thickness of the form material and be driven plumb and true to the ground. Step 3 Drive the pegs into the soil so that they are plumb and true. They must be stable enough to resist the force of the wet concrete pushing against them. Step 4 Set the pegs out at 1000 – 1500mm centres.

Services Training Package Page 78 of 88 Step 5 Calculate the perimeter The perimeter of the house is the distance around the edge of the building, you find the perimeter by adding up the sides: Step 6 The main form will be fixed to the pegs and set out and is fitted 90mm below the string lines. The stringline should be in line with the face of the main form. Remove any excess soil to allow the main form to be lowered to its correct height. Step 7 Fix the main form so it sites below the string line by the height of the outriggers (90mm) Step 8 Screw or nail through the back of the pegs to hold the form in place. Step 9 Excavate the edge beams to the specifications provided. Step 10 Install a second row of pegs opposite those currently holding the form in place. This second row should be about 700 – 1000mm away and will be used to fix the bracing and the outriggers. Step 11 Install the outriggers to create the rebate form. Step 12 Install braces from the top of the outrigger on the inner peg, to the ground level of the outer peg.

Services Training Package Page 79 of 88 Step 13 Cut the outriggers to a string line and install the edge form to string line. Step 14 Dig the internal beams and use the fill to level out the pads under the main slab. Step 15 Level out the pads to a height that brings it to the underside of the finished slab. Step 16 Estimate concrete volume for the slab The formwork is in place, the plastic, reinforcing steel and plumbing have been installed, and now you are ready to pour the concrete slab. Before you order the concrete for the slab you need to work out how much concrete you require. To do this, you need to know the volume of the slab. Now that your formwork is erected you are required to safely dismantle forms and store the materials and dispose of damaged components. Learner Name: Learner Signature: Date: ____/____/____
