WT5912TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION & WORKSHOP PRACTICE 2: MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTIONUnit 0 – Week 1: Construction Studies and Health & SafetyDepartment of Design & Manufacturing TechnologyLecturer/Teacher: Mr. Joseph Lyster Academic Year 2011: Spring SemesterTechnical Support: Mr. Joe Murray & Mr. Richie Hennessy Lecture Notes: www.slideshare.net/WT4603 P1004 – 28/01/2011 12-1pm

Students will be introduced to the Construction related syllabi at senior cycle level and develop strategies to teach their concepts and content. Students will draw on their knowledge base from their primary degree and content of this module to formulate a coherent approach to teaching construction based subjects at second level.

In addition to the Construction syllabi students will be involved in extensive laboratory work to ensure the competent and effective implementation of wood processing safety and practice in second level technology education settings. This is a core issue regarding the management of the classroom environment for health and safety of all and the nature of work being conducted.

Construction Studies:Details: Construction Studies (C.S.) was established in 1984 and was first

introduced to vocational schools It is a second level senior cycle subject and a follow on subject from

junior certificate Materials Technology Wood (MTW) It is part of the ‘established leaving certificate’ programme The subject is optional, meaning students can choose to study it if they

wish. It is offered in most schools but not all. It offers a broad range of learning involving both theory and practical. In terms of its assessment, it is offered at both ordinary and higher level The uptake in C.S. has continued despite the collapse of the Irish

Construction sector/Industry. This can be largely attributed to the learning experience on offer and the

respect for teachers of C.S.

Construction Studies:Current Trends…Current Trends: Though the theoretical areas/principles of the subject remain the same there has been a

significant change in the process of building. This is currently being assessed in the leaving certificate exam, which is set by the State

Examinations Commission (SEC). The subject has engendered a strong theme for economic, social and environmental

building performance, i.e. sustainability. These features are being integrated into the examination phase through elements such

as updated building regulations, building energy rating (BER), passive housing, sustainable planning and development.

A few years ago the subject was to receive a formal update including a revised syllabus and new name –Architectural Technology.

However, the current economic climate and the issue of funds to support the broader range of development in the technologies has resulted in this plan being shelved until a future date.

HEALTH & SAFETY

Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology

WT5912

• Section 8(2)e of the 2005 Act states that it is the duty of every employer“to provide systems of work that are planned, organised, performed and maintained so as to be, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and without risk to health.”

• Health and safety management is a practical and systematic approach to identifying hazards and evaluating the extent of associated risk

Health & Safety Management

Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology

WT5912

Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology

Can be identified by:▫High accident/injury rates.▫Poor machinery guarding.▫Poor cleaning and housekeeping arrangements.▫Limited interest of OHS by employers/management.▫Lack of care/respect for safety rules.▫Poor safety culture.

Unsafe Workplaces

Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology

WT5912

Can be identified by:

•Regular inspection of workplace•Consultation between employer and employees.•Clearly defined structure of responsibilities….•Employees are trained…•Exceeds the specific requirements of the law –

manages safety not for fear of being reprimanded but for the employees.

• Students should only work in a high risk area when it is fully under the control of a person competent to work in and supervise that area.

• Close monitoring of students using machinery.• Students must not be permitted to use equipment while

unsupervised.• It is the responsibility of the schools to ensure that the

machines are not accessible to unauthorised persons▫Cleaners▫Visitors▫Unsupervised students.

The CE Marking is not a mark indicating conformity to a standard but rather a mark indicating conformity to the legal requirements of EU Directives.

CE Mark

Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology

WT5912

• CE Marking is the symbol as shown on the top of this page. • The letters "CE" are the abbreviation of French phrase

"Conformité Européene" which literally means "European Conformity". • The term initially used was "EC Mark" and it was

officially replaced by "CE Marking" in the Directive 93/68/EEC in 1993.

CE Mark

Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology

WT5912

• Machinery must bear the “CE” mark in order to be deemed in compliance with these regulations.

• Must not add to machinery – must be there… criminal offence to try to add it.

• Also an offence to reduce the visibility of the “CE” Marking on a machine.

CE Mark

Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology

WT5912

The existence of the “CE” marking on a piece of machinery should indicate that its manufacturer has met all relevant standards and requirements.

Step 3: Setting infeed dept• This machine is calibrated in metric.• Maximum recommended material removal

is 1-2mm/pass• Dept stop to be set at 2mm• Open infeed lock handle• Turn wheel to left to drop table to 2mm• Lower you drop, the more the planer

cutting block is exposed• Close infeed lock handle when required

dept is achieved.• * Do not adjust outfeed table level, this is

for maintenance purposes only*

Step 4: Setting the guide fence width• Minimum blade exposure• Width of material + 10mm is recommended• This results in 10mm blade exposure - Safety• Adjust lock handle to wind in or out guide fence• Lock in appropriate position

Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology

WT5912

Step 5: Guard adjustment• Guard set for face side = handle up – 10mm

blade exposure• Guard set for face edge = handle flat – no blade

exposure

Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology

WT5912

Step 6: Material Inspection• Inspect material for the following defects

• Cupping• Bowing• Twist• Knots• Loose grain

• Example - if material is bowed, set the bowed face to the surface planer table surface and process. Material should never be run through hump side down.

Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology

WT5912

Step 7: Determining face side and face edge• Use machine surface to check square• Select appropriate face side and face edge

based on inspection• Preliminary surface marking using an ‘X’ with

no less than a HB pencil• Ensure extraction gate valve is open and

extraction is on• Proceed to plane material – face side and face

edge only! Gate Valve locate on extractor pipe just above surface planer
