Other Hazard
It is important for any worker to assess the risk in their working environment.
You must ensure that whilst you compete this task, the technician, Mr Poole will be observing you working in this way.
You must ask the technician to sign a witness statement recognising the control measures you have suggested in your risk assessment
YOU MUST MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR WITNESS SHEET SIGNED TO ACHIEVE THIS GRADE CRITERIA.

I recommend…
Working with the workshop technician and your peers is important Before you approach the technician, ensure that you are
for the effective running of the work environment. confident that you have met the following qualities for a good
working relationship:
Once practical work has begun, it is essential that policies are followed. For example, to ensure the work activity in the workshop is safe, in a working
environment and the activity is fully understood.
Using the headings below, list all of the things that have gone wrong whilst you have been making the Tool Makers Clamp and describe here how you could
have improved in these areas whilst on working on this activity.
Identify problems with a work activity How I can improve on this activity
Workshop Safety
Housekeeping
Use of Tools
Understanding of Drawings
Working Relationships
Using the strengths and qualities you identified in Task 6a and 6b, propose a contract with the Engineering Department to show
responsibility for your work activity in the workshop.
