Air tools- Engineering

 Complete a blog post on air tools.

Rough outline

1. What are Pneumatic tools/air compressors? A pneumatic tool is one that's driven with the assistance of compressed air rather than electricity.

2. Safety when using an air compressor. Dangers and hazards, preventive action, and servicing. When your finished with the air compressor, turn down the power.

3. PPE when using air tools - general PPE would be safety glasses, face masks, earmuffs.

4. Different types of air tool connections /tools- Air compressor, Nail gun, Angle grinder

Mains Power tools

 BLOG POST LAYOUT FOR MAINS POWERED TOOLS 

SAFE USE OF  MAINS POWERED TOOLS AND EXTENSION CORDS 

Describe/ Explain what is a mains powered power tool? 

A mains power tool is a power tool that must be plugged into a wall to work.

Where are you likely to use it?

Most likely used in a workshop or a building site.

Give 3 examples of a mains power tool you may have already used. 

Nail Gun

Jigsaw

Heat Gun

Describe/explain the task you used it for.

Nail Gun- Used to drive nails into my wood to hold it together.

Jigsaw- Used to cut shapes and curves in your wood.

Heat Gun- Heat guns are commonly known for their use to strip paint and weld or bend plastics.

General safety around electricity. 

Make sure no wires are cut, Keep wires away from heaters or warm appliances.

What to look for. If any of the equipment is broken.

What do I do if something is wrong. Cut the power, turn off electrical appliances.

 General hazards and dangers of a mains powered power tool- 

What is meant by “RCD” Why is it important- RCD stands for “Residual Current Device”  It is important to have RCD protection when using electrical equipment outdoors.

What is meant by “Double Insulation”- Double or reinforced insulation is another method of protection against electric shock, consisting of an extra layer of supplementary insulation over the basic insulation 

Why is it important- Double insulation construction of appliances and tools allows the manufacturer to produce a lower-cost product.

Safety checks and safe working practices when using a mains-powered tool- Make sure it has the safety tag on the cord, Make sure the cord is put somewhere so no one trips over it.

2022 L2 Engineering 

Hazards and dangers of extension cords- Tripping hazard, Exposed wires.

Safe Use of extension cords- Always put the cord away when finished with it, unplug it when finished.

General PPE when using mains-powered tools 

Signage- Engineering

 Hazard Identification & Action

A hazard can be described as anything that could cause you and others any form of harm.

A hazard that can cause you serious harm is described as significant.

Once a significant hazard has been determined the school must take “all practical steps” to eliminate, isolate or minimise the significant hazard.

Safety Signage

Here are some examples : Identify the sign, Describe what it means ,Explain what action you would take 

Slippery when wet	No Phones
Fire Equipment	Eyewash
Must wear Earmuffs	Keep out of this area

 Personal Protective Equipment.

What is PPE? 

PPE stands for Personal Protective Equipment. This is the type of equipment that you have to use in the workshop

What are the basic requirements for PPE here at the HHS workshop?

The basic requirements include face protection (Glasses and Welding helmet), Ear protection (Ear Muffs), Correct Footwear, Overalls if you’re working around chemicals or dust.

Here is a photo of me in basic PPE 

What isn’t PPE? 

https://www.shponline.co.uk/ppe-personal-protective-equipment/

Ordinary Clothing, Portable devices, Equipment used for sporting

Who pays for your PPE? 

The school pays for it.

Explain the different types/range of basic PPE that is available in the workplace. Headwear, Facewear, Clothing

What are examples of task-specific PPE?

Welding- Welding mask, Overalls.

Bivariate Data Conclusion

Question: Does our class have the perfect body proportion?

 Analysis:

• Trend: Linear Graph
• Direction: Increased Data
• Strength: Moderate 
• Unusual Outliers: 2 pieces of data are unusual.

Conclusion: The answer to our question is yes because there is only 1 student out of the line. This graph that I have made shows that it is Linear, it is moderate and it is positive.

Vitruvian Man

  What is QPVR?

Q- Question

P- Participants

V- Variables

R- Relationships

What is SCCR?

S- Step by Step

C- Controls/ Avoid Mistakes

S- Conditions

R- Repeat Measurements

Problem: Does our class have the perfect body proportion as per Vitruvian man?

My two variables are Height and Armspan

Plan

Q-Do we have the perfect body proportions in this class?

P-Our participants will be the population of Mr Rees year 11 Math class.

V- The explanatory variable is height in meters and the response variable is armspan in meters.

R- Our relationship is to measure the length of our armspan and our height correctly so we get the same measurement.

Subject	Height (Meters)	Armspan (Meters)

What and Who is Vitruvian man?

The Vitruvian Man, a late 15th-century drawing, is a prime example of such work. Intended to explore the idea of proportion, the piece is part work of art and part mathematical diagram, conveying the Old Master's belief that “everything connects to everything else.”
