FABRICATING A BRACKET

Knowledge statements:

You must have knowledge and understanding of:

1. The specific safety precautions to be taken when working in a fabrication environment and
when producing structural components (general workshop and site safety, appropriate
personal protective equipment, accident procedure; statutory regulations, risk assessment
procedures and DOSH/NIOSH regulations)
2. The personal protective clothing and equipment that needs to be worn when carrying out the
fabrication activities (leather gloves, eye protection, safety helmets, ear protection etc.)
3. Safe working practices and procedures needed for producing bracket.
4. The correct methods of moving or lifting heavy plate.
5. The hazards associated with fabrication work and bracket operations and how they can be
minimized (such using dangerous or badly maintained tools and equipment, lifting and
handling log and heavy components, slips trips and falls).
6. How to obtain and interpret the necessary drawings specifications.
7. How to interpret first and third angle drawings, imperial and metric system of measurement,
workpiece reference points and system of tolerancing
8. How to interpret marking out conventions; cutting lines, etc
9. The preparations those need to be carried out on the bracket prior cutting it.
10. How to set up and align the tools and equipment that is used. (Refer Notes)
11. The materials cutting characteristic and process consideration those need to be taken into
account when cutting a bracket.
12. The use and care of tools and equipment, and control procedures.
13. Guards and safety protection equipment.
14. Inspection techniques that can be applied to check shape (including straightness) and
dimensional accuracy are to specification and within acceptable limits.
15. The extent of your own responsibility and whom you should report to if you have problems
that you cannot resolve.
