Task
Task 2m (provides evidence for P3)
 When making your ‘Bevel Gauge’, you used tools, equipment and materials all of which carried their own risk to your own safety and that of others. Using the charts on the worksheets, list the equipment, processes, materials, working environment and procedures and their potential risks.
Task 2n (provides evidence for M1)
 Carry out a ‘RISK ASSESSMENT’ in the workshop around the lathes, pillar drills and milling machines in preparation for the engineering club. You should use the ‘standard Risk
Assessment Form’ provided to justify your opinion. You must make recommendations on the safety and materials handling, the use of PPE and the potential hazards in the area. You will also be observed during this task
