Specification This unit is designed to provide increased vocational skills in plastering and associated activities. This unit includes: • Consideration of health and safety with respect to workshop activities; • Consideration of career opportunities available in construction trowel trades; • Consideration of environmental issues in relation to plastering; • The appropriate use of plastering hand tools; • The use of appropriate plastering resources and their effect on the environment; • Demonstration of the following craft techniques on a wall: – applying a scratch coat; – applying a floating coat; – applying a dash or render finish; – nailing or screwing plasterboard; – fixing skimming beads; – applying a skim finish; and • A review and evaluation of performance.

Learning Requirements

Section 1 Health and Safety, Hand Tools and Basic Power Tools, including Safety Aspects Learners should be able to: • understand the implications of the Health and Safety at Work Act (HASAWA) 1974 in relation to this occupational area; • identify and use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), for example safety boots or goggles; • apply the principles of safe working practice in the use of basic hand and power tools; • identify the hazards likely to affect operatives on a construction site; • demonstrate appropriate methods of stacking materials, safety aspects of using and mixing mortar and fixing Plasterboard; • carry out appropriate manual lifting techniques to include individual and team lifting; • understand accident procedures should an incident occur in the workshop; • describe three career opportunities associated with plastering skills; • identify, maintain and name the parts of the following basic hand tools: – laying on trowel; – Hawk; – gauging trowel; – Level; – Brush; – Scratcher; – Plastic float; and – Muddler or whisk; and • evaluate their own performance in practical tasks.

Plastering

12

Section 2 Craft Techniques Learners should be able to: • interpret drawings for the set tasks; • identify the plastering materials required and source from an environmentally aware supplier, where possible; • identify the carbon footprint of transporting materials, excavating new materials and the manufacture of Cement; • fix plasterboard; • use appropriate tools for craft techniques; • prepare mortar (approximately 0.15m3 of cement, lime and fine-washed sand 1:1:6); • use a float to apply wall finishes; • fix rules to the walls for forming angles; • dispose of waste in an environmentally friendly manner; • Clean work area, tools and equipment; • dash or render an area of wall; and • evaluate their own performance in practical tasks. Section 3 Produce Plastering finishes Learners should be able to: • interpret the drawing for the task and follow instructions; • fix plasterboard to a prepared background using a nail or screw fixing; • prepare and fix skimming beads along the edges of the board; • apply a scratch coat to a solid wall; • apply a floating coat to a solid wall; • apply a skim finish to a plasterboard wall; • apply a render finish to a prepared wall; • evaluate their own performance in practical tasks undertaken; and • carry out an end-of-unit evaluation.

Assessment Guidance Teachers/Lecturers should emphasise the importance of a safe working environment and the careful use of sharp tools. Special attention should be given to the safe use of battery-operated power tools. Learners should be encouraged to clean, maintain and correctly store all the tools that they use. Practical occupational tasks selected should reflect the breadth of opportunity for learners to be stretched and challenged when demonstrating their skills in line with this specification. Learners will be expected to demonstrate plastering skills on a plastering cubicle with a minimum surface area of 7m2. Learners should carry out four assessment tasks: scratch coat, floating coat, skim finish and render finish. Exemplar Assessment

This example is for a skim finish. Learners: • answer questions to demonstrate knowledge and understanding requirements; • wear appropriate PPE and comply with health and safety procedures with respect to workshop activities; • interpret a drawing and measure a wall; • produce a materials list; • prepare the workshop and select tools; • mark out plasterboard sheets and cut to size; • fix plasterboard; • apply a skim finish on a prepared area; • trowel to an industry standard finish; • tidy up the work area and dispose of waste correctly; • store and maintain tools in the appropriate manner; • evaluate their own performance in the practical activity; and • carry out an end-of-unit evaluation.

My Diary

Tips for completing your dairy

Overview • Make sure you complete a diary entry for all your classes • Remember to fill in the date • Ask your teacher to sign your diary every week and don’t forget to sign it yourself! • If you miss a class fill in the date and write ‘absent’ when you are next in class • You can use what you have written in your diary to help you with your evaluations • You may be awarded marks for your diary so make sure you complete it! • If you are unsure what to write, ask your teacher for help

Description

When you are completing the description section of your diary think about what you did in class. Include: • Practical activities you completed, for example, mixing mortar, laying bricks • Written tasks you completed, including preparing leaflets, fact-files, word searches • Assessments of a partner, for example giving a score to a partner for practical work • Listening to guest speakers, for example, professional bricklayer • Going on a trip, for example, local building site or builders yard • Watching a video clip, for example, someone building a chimney, health and safety tips • Completing assessments • Completing knowledge checks • Completing evaluations

There may be other things not on the list that you will do during this unit –remember to write about them in your diary!

Evaluation When you are completing the evaluation section of your diary, the following questions may help you to evaluate. Ask yourself: • What did I do well / not so well? • How could I improve my skills / knowledge / performance? • What did I enjoy / not enjoy? • What did I find easy / difficult? • Did I follow instructions / procedures? If not, why not? • Would it be helpful if I found out more information from books / magazines / internet? • How could I use my skills / knowledge to work within the construction industry? • What else do I need to know about working within the construction industry? • Has this unit helped me decide what I’m going to do when I leave school? This list does not include all the questions you could ask yourself but it should help you to get started with your evaluation!
