Plumbing Module
Welcome to the Plumbing Module of safe@work.
Have you read the General Module, completed the test and gained your safe@work General certificate?
The Plumbing Module should be done AFTER the General Module or Review Module.
If it is some time since you have completed the General Module you should read the Review Module. The test for the Plumbing Module contains some questions based on the Review Module.
The Plumbing Module contains information on:
- Powered Tools and Hand Tools
- Prevention of Falls
- Manual Handling
- Hazardous Substances and Dangerous Goods
- Biological Hazards
- Electricity
- Burns
- Trenches and Confined Spaces
- Sunburn and Heat Stress
Within the plumbing industry, you may be involved in a range of work activities such as:
- installing hot water and gas services
- replacing guttering and downpipes
- laying and connecting water and sewage pipes
- fixing sink or sewage blockages.
Your employer must explain each task before you start work on it. You must be provided with instruction, training and supervision. You must know the first aid and emergency arrangements too, so if anything goes wrong you will know what to do.
Key Point
It is important that your employer has taken action to control risks. You must know and follow safe working procedures - not just for your own safety, but also for the safety of others working with you.
