CARS
An automobile or motor car is a wheeled motor vehicle used for
transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor. Most
definitions of the term specify that automobiles are designed to run primarily on
roads, to have seating for one to eight people, totypically have four wheels, and to
be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods. However,
the term automobile is far from precise, because there are many types of vehicles
that do similar tasks.

Safety and health is an area concerned with protecting the safety, health
and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. The goal of all
occupational safety and health programs is to foster a safe work environment. As
a secondary effect, it may also protect co-workers, family members, employers,
customers, suppliers, nearby communities, and other members of the public who
are impacted by the workplace environment. The average person finds it difficult
to assess risks and that is why work practices need to be regulated.
Safety in the workplace is critical to the success of your business, no
matter what size it is. As a business owner you have responsibilities regarding
health and safety in your workplace. Even if you dont have
any employees, you must ensure that your business
doesnt create

Occupational
Health and Safety laws can help you avoid the unnecessary
costs and damage to your business caused by workplace
injury and illness. There are many examples of dangerous
activities at your workplace, such as welding without goggles, working at a
construction site without the protection of a hard hat, working in noisy
environments without ear plugs or mufflers, working in production with different
possibly hazardous materials without protective gloves and/or clothes, smoking
near inflammable substance. There are different risky or hazardous situations,
such as: combustion, contamination, dust, the possibility of explosion, poisonous
fumes, gas leakages, toxic vapors, the danger of electrical shock which can all
have effects on us and can cause lethal or very serious damage to our body (for
example: vomiting, dizziness, burns, birth defects, cancer, genetic damage). All
around risky environments or materials there are warning signs that people have
to take seriously.

Nowadays, the speed and productivity are very important, and therefore
many works in the workshop are being done with the power tools and machines.
However, any good craftsman knows that the quality result lies in the balance
between the handwork and machine work. In many cases during
the
manufacture, the craftsman has to decide whether some operation will be done
with the hand tools or with the machine. Such decision should always be made
by considering which method is more efficient, which method you are adept to,
which
methods
produce
better
work
and
which
method
is
cheaper.
Always use right hand tool for the job. This way
you get the best job with the least effort, the least
damage to the tool and the least danger to
yourself.
In some cases, hand tools are faster than
the machines. Of course, if many identical parts
need to be cut, hand tools are definitely slower.
But if you work on some unique project, it will
surely be easier to perform some operations with
the hand tools, rather than to waste time to set up and configure your machine.
One of the important advantages of hand tools is that they are cheaper
than the power tools, so if in your work you do not have a specific need for this
type of tools, it will be much more cost-effective to buy less expensive hand tool
and use it occasionally, than to buy an expensive power tool which will lay on the
shelf. Besides that, the hand tools are indispensable for the house maintenance.
Various jobs on the house are occasional, so it is not profitable to invest a lot of
money in various power tools. Another great advantage of hand tools is that they
are much safer than the power tools, and this is important for both craftsmen
beginners and for the amateurs, who use hand tools just for quick repairs.
Exercise
Hand tools can be divided into several groups:

Dear Ms. Mary,
Application for the position of product designer
In reference to the job vacancies you advertised at the Carpenters Industrial College career
bazaar, I would like to apply for the position of product designer. I believe that while I am a
recent graduate, I do have some valuable experience that will enable me to be an excellent
addition to your design team.
I recently graduated with a Strata one in graphic design, and the course includes product design
modules. Moreover, I have competed in several design competitions and won a gold medal in a
product design competition in Thailand last year, in which I designed a self- heating mug.
Details of this prize and other prizes that I have won are included in the enclosed curriculum
vitae.
I am looking forward to a positive reply from you. Thank you for your kind consideration and
time.
Yours sincerely,
Almira Aulia
