This is a Level 1 programme that will prepare you for re-engagement into education.
It will develop basic practical skills in preparation for progression onto a Diploma course which is recognised within the industry.
You'll dive into hands-on activities that build your brickwork expertise,
learning the specialist techniques used by professionals in the trade. Alongside
this practical experience, you'll explore essential theory that highlights safe
working practices in the construction industry. You'll also gain a solid
understanding of the tools, materials, and methods used not only in bricklaying
but across a range of construction trades.
Basic health and safety in
brickwork is essential to ensure a safe working environment for everyone on
site. This includes wearing the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) such
as hard hats, safety boots, gloves, and eye protection to prevent injuries.
Workers must be trained to handle tools and materials safely, use proper lifting
techniques, and keep the work area clean and free from hazards. It's also
important to follow safe procedures when working at height and to be aware of
the risks posed by dust, noise, and manual handling. Understanding and following
these basic safety measures helps prevent accidents and promotes a responsible,
professional approach to bricklaying.
