Scenario You are working as an assistant to a training manager. As part of an induction you have to explain to a new employee about the safe use and storage of tools, materials and equipment. Your manager has asked you to prepare an induction talk and presentation that you will be able to use each time new trainee carpenters and joiners are inducted. This is needed so that the management can be confident that all new employees receive consistently high quality induction training. As part of their initial training the trainee carpenters and joiners will be required to produce a timber frame using four different joints: a mitre joint; a half lap joint (corner halving joint); a bridle joint and a mortise and tenon joint. As part of your presentation you will cover the selection and justification of tools, materials and equipment for this task including an evaluation of alternative materials that could be used. This will need to cover the following areas: The purpose and safe use of setting-out tools, hand tools and equipment used to secure or hold work, including selecting and justifying the use of tools for the construction of the frame The correct and safe storage of tools and equipment Drawn information and how to read drawings relating to carpentry and joinery including a drawing of the timber frame The properties, characteristics and use of materials, components, adhesives, fixings used in carpentry and joinery The suitability of different materials for the timber frame including their advantages and disadvantages together with justification of their appropriate use.

Task 1 Learning aim A: Understand tools, materials and equipment used in carpentry and joinery Produce a PowerPoint presentation and written trainer notes for the induction training course, detailed in the above scenario, for new trainee carpenters and joiners. Note – the manufacture of the timber frame will be covered in assignment 2 (learning aim B). Evidence you must produce for this task: Oral report / presentation with teacher observation / witness statement, or Written presentation notes or script plus PowerPoint presentation Note – you should cover a minimum of twelve appropriate tools, five types of fixings, two types of glue, three types of wood/wood composites, and three different types of equipment.

Scenario As part of your initial training as a trainee carpenter you will be required to produce a timber frame/table using four different joints: a cross halving joint; a dowel joint, a dovetail joint and a mortise and tenon joint. This will need to cover the following areas: Carry out a risk assessment before beginning your frame. Comply with safe working practices including using appropriate personal protection equipment. Complete your timber frame/table.

Task 1 Learning aim B: Develop practical skills using safe techniques to produce a timber frame. Produce a risk assessment for your frame. Produce a powerpoint showing safe working practices what can be shown to other trainee carpenters. Produce a frame/table which includes at least 4 different joints. Evidence you must produce for this task: Written risk assessment. PPE Powerpoint. Photos of final timber frame/table.

Risk Assessment for Table Complete the table below Risk Assessment for Table Using the form below undertake a risk assessment for making the table, identifying and recording three workplace hazards from your observations. When you have undertaken this assessment, identify and describe the control measure required to reduce each hazard to an acceptable level. Location: Activity: Date: Hazard Identified Risk Level Low, medium or high with explanation Control measures required (identified and described)  

Safe Working Practices Powerpoint Add a number of slides showing the safe working practices needed when producing a table. Include the use of appropriate PPE.

Photos of my frame/table Put all the photos of your table here, include joints you have completed. Label to tell the examiner what each picture shows.
