Risk assessment

·        Inhaling the gypsum form the plasterboard

·        Cutting hand when cutting plasterboard

·        Not a clean area

We wear correct PPE. To prevent these risks from happening. To stop cuts to hand wear thick gloves and be careful when cutting as well. Then to stop the gypsum getting in lungs wear a dust mask or have a well ventilated room and last keep area clean for room to cut easily and to lower the risk of tripping or objects falling. We also worked to the Health and Safety Act 1974.

Method statement

We first got our PPE on, and then we made our way to the area of the stud walling and started to tack the measurements that were 1200mm by 1900mm for half and then cut to size and fitted on and if a bit tight we tock s bit off. Then started to fix with plasterboard screws ever 300mm spacing to the stud walling and then cut the other part for cover all the wall and fixed in place and then scrim the gaps  ready for plastering  and then made any  last touches and pack away (plus clearness).

Dear customer

We have inspected your stud wall and will apply plasterboard to the stud wall to cover the area.

So we order the plasterboard you required then sent to house and moved to the area were we are going to work.

Then cut the plasterboard to size and fit and fix in place with dry wall screws.

And also if need will use a suform to tack a bit of so it will fit easily and not damage the plasterboard and then finished and packed away (plus clearance).
