Task 2, Block Moving With Wheelbarrow

As the last task went successfully I used the same approach and used the instructions as steps to carry out the task.
Step one was to read through the job sheet and fully understand the task in hand, the job was to get concrete blocks in a wheelbarrow and maneuver up and down a hill 3 times. Next was the risk assessment on my partner, this involved the joints in the body and the straining lifting the wheelbarrow. I then carried out another risk assessment on the actual task, this involved understanding the hazards, what they could be and how you eliminate them, these hazards could involve the blocks falling off the wheelbarrow and injurng you or being left they could cause someone to trip, another hazard could be theweight of the wheelbarrow which could damage your joints and strain your muscles so we had to make sure the wheelbarrow was at a weight where is was comfortable to carry. Next we checked the delivery ticket to make sure we made the right materials and the right quantity, these were both wrong so we had to adjust the changes and sign off which means we agree with the materials they have given us. the access route we used was a hill so we had to make sure the route was safe from things that could eventually be hazardous and remove it safely, there was nothing wrong with the route.
My next step was to put on appropriate PPE which were steel toe cap boots which protected us from blocks falling off wheelbarrows, gloves to stop hands rubbing or cutting and goggles to protect eyes from dust. I then had to place blocks into my wheelbarrow, i used 4 blocks which was a comfortable weight. i done this 3 times and was happy i had finished. i then places the blocks and wheelbarrow back in the right places and told the boss i had finished.
