Study Notes
Module 27102: Building Materials and Fasteners
- Safety Precautions with Building Materials: This module covers safety procedures when working with building materials.
- Objectives: The module helps students identify safety hazards and precautions associated with wood, concrete, steel, and composite building materials. Specific objectives include describing the "focus four" hazards in carpentry and explaining job hazard analysis (JHA).
Trade Terms (1 of 4)
- Focus Four: The four leading causes of death in construction work are falls, struck-by hazards, caught-in/caught-between hazards, and electrical hazards.
- Trench: A narrow excavation deeper than it is wide, with a maximum width of 15 feet (4.6 meters).
- Confined Spaces: A work area with limited entry/exit and not designed for continuous occupancy.
Trade Terms (2 of 4)
- Ground Fault: Incidental grounding of a conducting electrical wire.
- Combustible: Materials that easily ignite and rapidly burn; fuels with a flash point at or above 100°F.
- Silicosis: A serious lung disease resulting from inhaling crystalline silica particles.
Trade Terms Quiz
- Flash Point of Combustible Material: 100°F or above.
Trade Terms (3 of 4)
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Lung diseases that obstruct airflow and impair normal breathing.
- Experience Modification Rate (EMR): A rating used to determine workers' compensation surcharges or credits.
Trade Terms (3 of 4)
- Job Hazard Analysis (JHA): An approach emphasizing job tasks to identify hazards before they cause harm.
- Hazard: Something present on a jobsite that can cause immediate harm.
Safety Overview
- OSHA Obligations: Employers are obligated to ensure safety.
- Responsibility: Everyone has a safety responsibility; ultimately, the practice and implementation fall on the individual.
Trade Terms Quiz (2)
- Ultimate Safety Responsibility: The individual worker/employee.
Carpentry Safety
- Focus Four: Falls (33.5%), struck-by accidents (11.1%), electrical shock (8.5%), caught-in/caught-between (5.5%), other (41.4%).
Section Review (1.1.0)
- Likely Caught-in Accident Location: Trenches.
Good Jobsite Housekeeping
- Scrap Removal: Remove scrap materials from work areas.
- Spill Cleanup: Clean up any spills promptly.
- Combustible Material Removal: Remove combustible scrap regularly.
- Containers: Provide proper containers for refuse.
- Tools & Equipment Storage: Store tools and equipment properly.
Wood Product Safety
- Gloves: Wear gloves to prevent splinters, cuts, and scrapes.
- Stacking Lumber: Ensure lumber won't fall or slide when stacked.
- Lumber Placement: Place lumber flat on the ground; avoid stacking upright.
- Lumber Height: Do not pile lumber manually over 6 feet high.
Section Review (0.0)
- Wood Stacking Location: On level ground.
Concrete Safety
- Dry Cement Dust Hazards: Blood poisoning, silicosis, risk of COPD.
- Wet Cement Hazards: Chemical burns, cement dermatitis.
Section Review (1.0.0)
- Silica Dust-Related Disease: Silicosis.
Steel Product Safety
- Protective Clothing: Wear thick gloves to prevent cuts.
- Wet Steel Handling: Use caution when handling wet steel studs.
- PPE Use: Use proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
- Steel Placement: Avoid dropping steel members or placing on cords.
Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)
- JHA Use: JHAs are used in planning.
- JHA Benefits: Recognize hazardous conditions, better communication, job safety standards compliance, consistency in routine.
- JHA Timing: At the start of the workday.
Pre-Task Planning
- Load Assessment: Check load size.
- Hazard Assessment: Check for protruding nails, wires, or sharp edges.
- Assistance: Ask colleagues for help with large loads.
- Path Inspection: Inspect paths of travel.
- Warnings: Read warning labels and instructions.
Dress & PPE
- Clothing: Avoid loose clothing.
- Shirt Sleeves: Button shirt sleeves and tuck in.
- Jewelry: Remove all jewelry.
- Hair: Tie back and secure hair, necklaces, or ties.
