Two chapters you won’t find anywhere else

Chapter 2 Construction work hazards and risk control strategies (CPCWHS3001) & Chapter 16 Construction calculations in carpentry work (CPCCOM3001)

In Chapter 2, students learn about both the Safe work method statement (SWMS) and Job safety analysis (JSA) and how to prepare and implement each. The authors discuss how students can break down construction tasks into manageable steps, to allow them to “identify, assess and manage the hazards and risks associated with each step, in relation to the job environment” (Bonnici, pg. 43). By the end of the Chapter students will learn how to provide a well-managed and safe workplace for all workers.

Chapter 16 equips students with the skills and knowledge to plan and perform the types of calculations they will need to do on the job to determine everything from the amount of materials required, to working out costings and the most economical layout. Rich with detailed drawings of house plans, formulas and equations with worked examples, examples of costing sheets, plus examples of internal and external materials and standard sizes, this chapter will help students understand the relationship between calculations and materials, and how to maximise profits and reduce construction industry waste.
