laying slabs

method statement

We first went and visted the area we will be working work and then esterated the amount of time it would take to complete the job. We then done a quote and if the client were to be happy we would then proceed with the work. We then prepping the area that you are working in and gather the materials and tool needed to complete the job. We then went and collected the mortar and then we put it in place where we are laying the slabs. We layed the first slab and then the second and then we  leveled them in the way you want the water to drain off. After that lay another two slab and level them to the first two slabs and repeat this until the job is complete.

risk assessment

there is a risk of tripping over the slabs so we will corner of the work area so that no one can accidently trip

there is a risk of getting lime in your eyes because of it being in the pug so to pervent this we will wear all of our P.P.E witch consists of goggles, glove and boots

there is a risk of dropping a concrete slab on your foot so we will wear steel toe capped boots to prevent this.

limitations

the limitations of concrete slabs are that they could last 25 years but most do not last that long as some of the slab brake or the colour fades and they crack.

the limitations of mortar are that over a long amount of time it may wash away but it also could last 25 years.
