COURSE OVERVIEW:

Welcome to the Safe Working Practices in Bricklaying Worksites course. This training will equip you with the knowledge and skills to identify, manage, and control risks commonly encountered on bricklaying sites, ensuring compliance with WHS legislation and promoting a safe, efficient working environment for all.

This course begins by introducing the importance of safety in bricklaying, the legal obligations for both employers and workers, and the critical role safety plays in preventing injuries and ensuring everyone returns home safely each day.

A solid understanding of the Work Health and Safety (WHS) framework is essential to working lawfully and responsibly. This section explains how the WHS Act and Regulations apply to construction works, with a focus on Codes of Practice relevant to bricklaying and the role played by Safe Work Australia and individual state-based safety regulators in setting and enforcing standards.

Before any work begins, site induction is mandatory. This section outlines the typical pre-start requirements for bricklaying sites, including attendance at safety inductions, signing in, receiving a PPE briefing, and participating in toolbox talks and pre-start risk assessments to identify hazards for the day ahead.

Bricklaying work presents various risks that must be identified early. This section explores common hazards including manual handling injuries, repetitive strain, cuts and crush injuries, trip hazards, and site congestion, all of which require proactive control measures to reduce the likelihood of harm.

Wearing the right PPE can make a significant difference to a worker’s safety. This section outlines the essential PPE for bricklaying tasks—such as gloves, eye protection, hard hats, and respiratory gear—while also addressing proper maintenance, fit, storage, and the limitations of each protective item.

Manual handling is a daily part of bricklaying. This section addresses the risks associated with lifting, carrying, and placing heavy materials and provides instruction on safe lifting techniques, the use of mechanical aids like trolleys, and how to prevent musculoskeletal injuries through teamwork and ergonomics.

Working at heights poses serious risks if not managed properly. This section discusses safe ladder usage, the setup and use of scaffolding or elevated platforms, and the need for edge protection and fall arrest systems to comply with WHS regulations during height-related masonry work.

Safe access to scaffolds is crucial to site safety. This section explains scaffold tagging systems, inspection procedures, and how to maintain stability and clear working platforms for bricklayers to operate safely and efficiently above ground level.

All tools and equipment must be used with care. This section highlights correct usage of hand tools and power tools used in bricklaying, including safety considerations, tool inspections, and the importance of regular maintenance to reduce the risk of mechanical failure or injury.

Electricity is a critical hazard on construction sites. This section addresses how to identify electrical services, the safe use of RCDs and tested extension cords, and what to do when faulty equipment or potential electrical risks are discovered on-site.

Mortar is essential in bricklaying but requires care in its preparation. This section covers safe handling and mixing techniques to avoid chemical exposure to cement dust, the importance of water control, and how to safely clean tools and dispose of mortar waste without creating hazards.

Materials must be stored securely to avoid collapses or obstructions. This section explains the correct way to stack and store bricks and blocks, especially on scaffolds or elevated work areas, and how to avoid overloading any part of the worksite.

Environmental factors can greatly affect safety. This section explores the risks posed by working in adverse weather conditions, offering strategies for UV protection, hydration, working on wet surfaces, and ensuring mortar cures properly despite environmental challenges.

Dust and airborne contaminants are common in bricklaying tasks. This section outlines the dangers of dust inhalation and explains how to control exposure using wet cutting techniques, dust suppression methods, and effective ventilation or respiratory protection equipment.

Bricklaying worksites often require traffic management. This section provides guidance on managing vehicles, pedestrian access, exclusion zones, spotters, signage, and barricades to reduce the risk of collision and maintain safe traffic flow within the site.

In an emergency, fast action saves lives. This section describes the key elements of an emergency response plan, including evacuation procedures, the use and location of first aid kits, and the correct way to report injuries and near misses as per workplace procedures.

Reporting hazards is everyone’s responsibility. This section teaches how to identify and record unsafe conditions, notify the appropriate supervisor or WHS officer, and use formal systems or digital tools to ensure hazards are addressed promptly.

Risk assessments and SWMS form the foundation of task-level safety. This section explains how to complete Job Safety Analyses (JSAs), prepare and follow Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS), and review these documents as work progresses or conditions change.

Collaboration with other trades is essential on shared worksites. This section addresses how to manage timing and space effectively, avoid work clashes, and control risks created when multiple trades operate simultaneously in close proximity.

Creating a culture of safety is everyone’s responsibility. This final section encourages open communication, reporting of unsafe acts, leadership by example, mentoring apprentices in safe behaviours, and recognising individuals or teams who consistently uphold safe working practices.

By the end of this course, you will be equipped with the knowledge and confidence to apply safe work practices in bricklaying environments, contributing to a safer, more efficient, and legally compliant construction site.

Each section is complemented with examples to illustrate the concepts and techniques discussed.

Instant Glass Skin!
Scent: Collagen, Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried SO many sheet masks and this collagen one is genuinely one of the best. My skin looked insanely hydrated, smooth, and glowy after just one use. It fit my face really well, stayed soaked the entire time, and didn’t leave that sticky feeling afterward. The next morning my skin still felt soft and looked brighter. Perfect before events or whenever your skin needs a reset. Definitely repurchasing!!

Absolutely amazing masks!!!
Scent: Collagen, Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
These masks are beyond amazing! I use one once a week and leave it on overnight after completing my p.m. skincare routine and wake up to smooth, plump, moisturized, and absolutely glowing!! I have extremely sensitive skin and eyes and these masks do not bother me at all. No burning in my eyes and no irritation of the skin. My deep wrinkles seem a lot less pronounced and some of my more fine lines almost disappear for 24 hours after using this mask. They are simple to use and adhere to the skin perfectly even after applying serums and moisturizers. Once the mask is completely absorbed and becomes clear it peels of the skin with ease. Based on the quality of these masks I am shocked by the low price, it is such a great value for your money. This Mask has become a staple in my skincare routine and I will continue to purchase these!!

instantly more hydrated + glowy skin
Scent: Collagen, Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1), Scent: Collagen, Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
I love this mask. It’s one of those products you can actually see a difference with right after using it. It really helps with: 1. Deep hydration – my skin feels plump and moisturized, not dry or tight 2. Smoother texture – it softens everything and makes my skin feel really smooth 3. Glow/brightness – gives that fresh, healthy glow without looking greasy How I use it: I apply it on clean skin (usually at night), leave it on as directed, and let it fully absorb before removing. I like using it when my skin feels dull or dry and want a quick reset. Overall, it’s super easy to use and makes my skin look more refreshed every time. Definitely a go-to for me.

Woke Up Glowing ✨ (But Sleeping In It Is a Stretch lol)
Scent: Collagen, Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
I was honestly impressed with this mask! It feels super soft, cooling, and refreshing while wearing it. The jelly texture makes it feel really hydrating and luxe, like a mini spa night at home. My skin looked smooth, plump, and GLOWING the entire next day after I took it off. Like… noticeably radiant. I also have sensitive skin, so I was a little nervous trying it at first, but I didn’t have any irritation or reaction at all. My skin felt calm, hydrated, and refreshed afterward. One thing I actually liked was that the mask was easy to customize a little. I have a nose piercing, so I just tore a small piece near my nose so it would fit comfortably without irritating it. The material held up perfectly, so that was a nice bonus for anyone with piercings or who just needs a better fit in certain areas. My only complaint is the “sleep in it” part of the instructions. I personally don’t see how that’s possible 😅 The mask stays pretty moist and jelly-like the whole time, so it felt uncomfortable to lay down in and I kept feeling like it would slide around. I ended up just wearing it for a while before bed instead. Overall though, the results were worth it and I’d definitely use it again for the glow alone!

Nice mask! Caviar
Scent: PDRN, Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1), Scent: PDRN, Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
The first 3 pictures were taken after the first hour and a half. The second 3 pictures were taken at 2 hours. The mask had a hard time dissolving underneath my eyes and around my chin area mostly but everywhere else it hardened within the first hour or so. I will try to wear it for longer than 2 hours next time. To see if that changes, but my skin feels really nice right now. It's a little sticky, but it looks healthy and has a nice glow. Application is easy. I love that its separated into 2 parts. Doesn't fit well around the nose between the eyes and doesn't cover my entire face but its a great mask. I tried the caviar one this time. I have the collagen ones as well but these have better reviews. They seem to work effectively, for a nice glow and self pamper session.
