HOW TO USE THIS MODULE

Welcome to the Module in “Laying out reference lines” This module
contains training materials and activities for you to complete.

The unit of competency “Laying out reference lines” contains the
knowledge, skills and attitudes required for a Carpentry NC II course.

You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order to
complete each of the learning outcomes of the module. In each learning outcome
there are Information Sheets, Job Sheets, Operation Sheets and Activity
Sheets. Follow these activities on your own and answer the Self-Check at the end
of each learning activity.

If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask your facilitator for assistance.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

You may already have some or most of the knowledge and skills covered in
this module because you have:

 been working for some time

 already completed training in this area.

If you can demonstrate to your teacher that you are competent in a
particular skill or skills, talk to him/her about having them formally recognized so
you don’t have to do the same training again. If you have a qualification or
Certificate of Competency from previous trainings show it to your teacher. If the
skills you acquired are still current and relevant to this module, they may become
part of the evidence you can present for RPL. If you are not sure about the
currency of your skills, discuss this with your teacher.

After completing this module ask your teacher to assess your competency.
Result of your assessment will be recorded in your competency profile. All the
learning activities are designed for you to complete at your own pace.

Inside this module you will find the activities for you to complete followed by
relevant information sheets for each learning outcome. Each learning outcome
may have more than one learning activity.

INFORMATION SHEET 1.1-1
Types and Uses of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

The use of protective clothing and equipment is not the solution for preventing
accident.

It is most important that the primary protection against accidents is to identify
possible hazards and take the necessary safety measure to eliminate the hazard.

When necessary, workers should be provided with protective clothing and other
personal protective equipment.

Types of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

1. Eye and face protection Goggles and face protection must be worn to protect
workers from flying particles, liquid chemicals, acids, chemical gases or vapors.
Workers must also be protected from radiation during welding, touching,
soldering, brazing and other operations that emit light.

2. Head protection Hard hats must be worn where there is danger of falling
objects. Specialized hard hats are required to reduce electrical shock hazards.

3. Foot protection Safety shoes with impact protection are required in work
areas where heavy objects or tool could be accidentally dropped on the feet.
Safety shoes with puncture protection are required when working around nails,
wires, tacks, scrap metal and other objects that could pierce the feet.

4. Hand protection Gloves are required to protect workers from cuts, scrapes,
punctures, burns, chemical absorption or extreme temperature

5. Hearing protection Appropriate ear muffs or ear plugs should be worn to
lessen the noise in the workplace.

6. Respirators: Appropriate respirators must be worn as a last resort if it is not
possible to ventilate the work area properly.

INFORMATION SHEET 1.1-3
Company Rules and Regulations

To avoid headache and unnecessary expenses, make sure that all necessary
permits are secured from local authorities concerned before any activity in the
construction site.

1. Relocate the boundaries of the construction, especially lots without existing
reference point or adjoining structures. This job is to be given to a geodetic
engineer.

2. Clear all sites of any existing structures, trees and elements that will
obstruct the construction activities. Cutting of trees requires permit from
the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

3. Allocate space for warehousing, workers’ quarter and construction office
which are usually requirements in the construction embodied in the
specification contract.

4. Apply and secure temporary electric power connections and water supply.

5. The site of the construction must be securely fenced to protect the
construction activities from onlookers and passersby and to also protect the
materials from pilferage both from the outside and the inside.

6. Determine the building set back from the road line. Install the stake on the
ground at a reasonable spacing that will fit into the length of the batter
board available.

Types of Batter Boards

Batter boards are the horizontal boards placed at the corner and at the sides of
the projected building when final layout takes place. The reference for the
foundation is marked on these boards.
 Two Types of Batter Boards

1. Batter boards for foundation posts may be either joined by continuous
pieces surrounding the site of foundation or by individual piece for each
foundation.

2. Batter boards for the foundation walls are either single or double batter
boards which are placed at corner.

The batter boards should be set as high as the desired height of the foundation.

In constructing with different heights of foundation, the tallest foundation is set as
the height of batter boards.

Procedure in Establishing the required reference lines
Procedure:

1. Determine the height of the foundation at any of the four corners of the
proposed building, preferably where the highest ground grade stake is.

2. In this corner, drive a stake as a high as the desired height of the
foundation.

3. Drive in set of posts for the batter boards 3 or more feet away from the
corners and along the sides. Drive in the posts firmly. Align these posts
with a string.

4. Move the height of the foundation from the stakes to the corner post of the
batter board. This is done by stretching a string, leveled with plumb level

from the stake to the post.

5. From the mark of this post, stretch out a string going around the corners of
the building and passing at the side of the batter board posts.

6. Level this string with a plumb level. Stretch the string tight. Start leveling
from the corner where the height of the foundation is established. Recheck
the levelness.

7. Mark batter board posts along the line just leveled. These marks are places
for the top of the batter boards.

3. Elevation is a scaled drawing of the front, rear or side of a building. It
includes dimensions that cannot be shown on a floor plan such as the height

dimension.

4. Details. Most working drawings are drawn to the scale of 1:100, which is
rather small. It is not always possible to show important shapes, positions for

assembly, and dimensions of specific parts of a building. A separate drawing is
made using the larger scales of 1:5 or 1:10.

5. Specification is a written document prepared by an architect which serves as a
set of instruction or guidelines that accompanies a working drawing. It
describes how certain aspects of building construction are to be done and
which materials are to be used. It also describes their desired quality and the
expected standard of work.

Knowing how to read and interpret a working drawing saves time, money and
effort in the construction of the building.
