Comments for item 6

steve morrison  12-09-2004 12:41 PM ET (US) Perhaps I'm the last one to know, but what is PPE? I can't find it used in long form anywhere, just numerous references to PPE. Is it really that self explanatory?

gord  12-10-2004 09:45 AM ET (US) PPE: Personal Protective Equipment refers to all safety equipment that is worn by an individual; so not just the obvious stuff like hearing protection, safety glasses, safety boots, hardhats, gloves, dust masks / respirators, but also including things like harnesses and lanyards, and even rain gear or cold-weather gear.

GOALS FOR SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION

 

Theory: 411

 

i)                    Given a multiple choice test of 30 recall/recognition type questions about the safe care and use of survey instruments, the learner will answer all questions within 45 minutes and score a minimum of 70%, or 21 correct answers. 412

 

Practical: 413

 

ii)               Learners will demonstrate the correct method of carrying and setting up an optical survey instrument, and then demonstrate one method for determining whether or not the instrument has been correctly calibrated.  414

 

iii)                 Learners will demonstrate the correct method of using a surveying instrument for checking a building foundation or sub-floor deck for level and recording any discrepancies so that posts can be cut to correct lengths.  415

 

iv)                 Learners will demonstrate the correct method for laying out a flat, complex shape (minimum of 12 inside and outside corners total, such as the footprint of a small building), using a transit. Layout must be correct to within 1/500 tolerance at every diagonal (IE: ½ in. over 20 ft). No time restriction. 416

 

v)                  Learners will demonstrate the correct method for laying out a flat, complex shape (minimum of 12 inside and outside corners total, such as the footprint of a small building), using a multi-axis laser level. Layout must be correct to within 1/500 tolerance at every diagonal (IE: ½ in. over 20 ft). No time restriction. 417
