Material placement on the site: Take care to arrange items in a way that minimises risks or
accidents.

To avoid placing objects in sensitive or environmentally protected areas, abide by site-specific

restrictions.

Follow site-specific guidelines to ensure effective and secure material installation.

Using safe procedures while handling materials is essential:

To avoid mishaps, use safe material handling procedures.

When lifting anything, be sure to use your legs rather than your back.

Use the proper lifting tools or equipment while handling bigger or larger objects.

In order to prevent shifting or falling, securely pack your items during transit.

To avoid tripping dangers, make sure the walkways are spotless and well-lit.

Team roles A surveyor, also known as a level operator, is someone who

controls and monitors levelling equipment, takes readings, and
oversees surveys.

Template 2: Setting up levelling instrument

Setting up and testing levelling instrument

Procedures to set up levelling instrument. (50-100 words)

Selecting a secure spot and raising the tripod to the appropriate height are necessary
for setting up a levelling instrument. Affix the device firmly, check that it is level, then
aim the telescope at a certain object. Record intermediate and foresight readings
during the levelling survey after obtaining a backsight reading from the benchmark.
Finally, use the benchmark as a point of reference to compute altitudes.

Procedures to test levelling instrument. (50-100 words)

A levelling instrument should be used on a stable surface with readings taken from a
baseline for assessment in order to confirm its accuracy. After 180 degrees of rotation,
re-target the benchmark using the instrument. Compare the first reading with the
second one when you've finished it. Both measurements ought to line up if the device
is operating correctly.

Location of datum point.

The extent of the survey determines where a datum point should be located. Local
benchmarks serve certain locations, while geodetic benchmarks cover larger
territories. In order to measure sea level elevations, tide gauge benchmarks are placed
along coasts and temporary benchmarks are used for project-specific purposes. Datum
points are essential points of reference for measurements and procedures involving
levelling.

Two-Peg test

Guidelines:

1. To mark off the area on the job site, use pegs.

2. Place markers 30 metres apart.
3. Mark two spots with a spray can or pegs, depending on the workout area.
4. Place the levelling tool halfway between the two spots.
5. To make sure the instrument is level, do adjustment tests.
6. Log the dimensions in the given table and note the staff readings at each peg.
7. Determine the difference between the two readings and enter the result in the
table.
8. Adjust the optical level until it is five metres away from a peg.
9. Pick out another employee to read, then record it in the table.
10. Compute the difference between the two readings once again, then enter the
result in the table.
11. Check to see whether the readings line up.

Setting up and testing levelling instrument

Procedures to set up levelling instrument. (50-100 words)

Place the levelling device on a firm surface, unfold the tripod to the ideal height, and
fasten the device firmly. Adjust the telescope's level and focus it on a target. When
aiming the device for a backsight reading, aim it towards a reference point. Continue
the survey by taking measurements for intermediate and predictive factors. To
compute altitudes, use the benchmark as a reference.

Procedures to test levelling instrument for operational effectiveness and

accuracy. (50-100 words)

To assess the device's accuracy and efficiency, place it on a sturdy surface.

Measurements should be taken against a reference point, then the gadget should be
rotated 180 degrees and adjusted. Take another reading on the same benchmark after
that. The two readings should line up if the equipment is operating correctly.

Procedures to check tolerances. (50-100 words)

Make sure you have the right measurement tools and are aware of the limitations in
order to confirm tolerances. Make measurements and contrast the outcomes with the
given tolerances. Keep track of your observations and determine whether any changes
or adjustments are required to satisfy the designated tolerances.

Location of datum point.

The survey's scope dictates where a datum point should be placed. It may include tidal
gauge benchmarks located close to coastal regions for sea level measurements, as
well as geodetic benchmarks spanning wide regions, local benchmarks for particular
places, and temporary benchmarks for project-specific objectives. Datum points serve
as crucial reference points for procedures including measuring and levelling.
