Lab Introduction
This laboratory introduction shall be utilized as framework for Safe 347 final course project. Lab Introduction includes three primary topics, with brick laying being the chosen job. These topics respectively being a job description, potential risk factors associated with the job, and a video link the describes the job task. Additionally, this is to give insight for Dr. Minnick on the Mr. Baker’s final course project, for proper constructive criticism.
Job Description
A brick layer (BL) is primarily responsible for laying building materials such as brick, structural tile, concrete cinder, glass, gypsum, and terra cotta block to construct or repair walls, partitions, arches, sewers, and other structures. Additionally, a brick layer will perform tasks such as measuring distance from reference points and mark guidelines on working surface to lay out work.
Work Hours
Working hours are job specific and will vary based on the season, weather, and job priority. Primarily the standard working hours will be 6:00 am until 3:00 pm, with general working hours between 8 and 10.
Specific Steps
Brick layers perform a large variety of tasks on a daily basis. The main task of brick laying starts by spreading and maneuvering a soft bed of mortar to serve as a base and binder for block, which is done by using a trowel. Also, a brick layer is required to apply mortar to end of blocks and position the block accordingly within a mortar bed. Then, the brick layer taps the block
Risk assessments are vital to be included within a laboratory setting as it involves evaluating the potential risks which may be involved when completing an experiment or activity. The employer must be aware that risks which someone is exposed to at work must be reduced by them responsibly implementing precautions in order to make the setting safer. They need to analyse: what could possible go wrong? How likely is it? And what would be the consequences? These questions are regularly used when creating a risk assessment so that every risk sheet has a similar outline and meets the criteria of an effective risk assessment. It covers the general procedures, the working environment and the handling, storage and transportation of various substances.

The career of forensic science is an interesting career,because of the different investigations and helping people solve different crime cases . The research will describe the career of crime scene investigation, what is required to become a successful in this career is being able to analyze crimes find evidence at the crime scene and have strong speaking and writing skills .In this type of field, you will gather information about the document, or analyze the evidence like fingerprints, blood, hair, and bullets. Crime scene investigators are needed to identify the dead using information collected. In the field you would generally secure the place, all evidence from the scene.
The laborers had to remove approximately 33,000 tons of soil to allow for this massive structure to be built. The reason for removing that much soil was so that the supports of the structure would be dug forty feet deep in the soil to keep it stable. As the stonemasons got closer to ground level the clay wasn’t as strong, in response to this, the stonemasons added bricks to the clay and then poured concrete around them to provide a stable foundation. This completed the basement of the Colosseum, which was where the slaves and performers would reside before and after the shows. One of the first floors of the Colosseum was the podium which was reserved for high government officials, emperors and dignitaries. As the podium was for influential people it needed to be bold and so was built on three layers of travertine stone. For the stone to stay in its place it was bonded with melted bronze. When the bronze hardened it acted as cement. The Colosseum also consisted of four upper layers along with the podium which were designated for people with respect to their hierarchy in society and they were much more complicated to build because each floor was higher than the other which meant that the architects had to figure out a way how the workers would lay tons of stone in the air. The Romans used a crane that helped them lay the stones on the upper layers. The engineers wanted the upper layers to be as light as possible so that the Colosseum would not collapse under its own weight and so they used concrete and brick. Concrete and brick are much lighter than other types of rock such as tufa. Concrete and brick were the main materials used in the upper levels of the Flavian Amphitheatre. The following is an image of a Roman crane operating on an elevated

City wall re-emerged with the creation of poleis, seemingly, at first, more as a political statement rather than as fortifications. According to Maher, “a populace is more likely to comply with the directives of an acting government so long as there is at least the promise granted of protection from outsiders” (Maher 20). Since a polis acted as a centralized urban area, walls were essential to not only protect inhabitants, but also to legitimize government. Initially, mudbrick was the building material of choice for building fortifications, since it was easy to obtain and it was significantly cheaper than stone. A huge benefit of mudbrick was that “unskilled workers could make a mudbrick circuit rapidly and with little equipment, unquestionably
The use of bricks and travertine in the making of home has been increasing day by day which lead to the development of the brick industry. Now you can easily find companies that can produce bricks and travertine for you of your own choice and patterns, so that you can do whatever
Materials are very important in construction industry because with the combination of different material, we can create a very strong and unique building form. There are many type of material that commonly used in the construction industry, for example the glass, woods, bricks, stones, marble, concretes and etc. Brick is one of the most commonly used materials in Malaysia, because almost every house in housing area was built by bricks. From this essay I want to give analysis about the brick life cycle included its origin and how the brick being used after the end of its life cycle.
Mud-brick became the building material of choice, being the primary material used for domestic architecture henceforth. Likewise, mud-brick became a standard medium for religious and funerary architecture. When compared to stone as a construction material, mud-brick presented many advantages. Unlike stone, mud-brick was universally available, it being possible to produce brick from Nile alluvium or desert sediments/clays, sand, and water-resources accessible to everyone, though in varying quantity [5, 6]. Mud-brick was quick to fabricate, especially when compared to the quarrying of stone blocks, and was therefore more economical, particularly for large construction projects such as entire palace complexes or row upon row of temple storage magazines [7]. 1.2 The City of Aswan Aswan is the ancient city of Swenet, which in antiquity was the frontier town of Ancient Egypt facing the south. Aswan is located about 879 km in the south of

Many times, risks faced by contractors exist at no fault of their own. That is, in some cases the contractor is bound by a design that places specific hazards on the construction site. Designers who are cognizant of and responsive to their effort on construction safety would aid in making jobsites safer for construction workers (Gambatese et al, 1997). Situations such as these led the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to create a safe design concept, prevention through design. Prevention
In the building construction, building layer by layer has been practiced for several thousand years. Bricking is a common method of building construction, which is actually lay construction. Therefore, it make
Clay bricks are used in a wide range of buildings from housing to factories, and in the construction of tunnels, waterways, bridges etc. Their properties vary according to the purpose for which they are intended, but clays have provided the basic material of construction for centuries. Brick is the oldest manufactured building material, and much of its history is lost in antiquity. The oldest burnt or fired bricks have been found on the sites of the ancient cities of Babylonia, some of which are estimated to be about 6000 years old. Brick is, after all, virtually indestructible. The industry developed on traditional lines, using hand-making processes for the most part.
