When screw fixing standard wall and ceiling sheets, why is it important not to overtighten fixing screws?
Because it flattens the drill battery quicker and wears out the screw driver bit
An overtightened screw will go through the face of the gyprock and can cause screws to ‘pop’
It makes the fixing point harder to set
It makes them harder to remove later
None

Why would paper tape be used in preference to perforated self-adhesive fibreglass joint tape?

Paper tape provides a stronger joint and there is less chance of cracking.
Because in a fire it doesn’t let off toxic fumes
Paper is more cost effective

When grouting the internal corners between two walls or the internal corner where a wall and floor meet you must –
Always add a grout additive as this makes it more flexible can resist the movement of the building that is caused by expansion and contraction
Never apply gout to these joins as expansion and contraction movement will cause the grout to crack and fall out, silicone should be used.
Only apply the grout by a rubber squeegee to ensure sufficient grout fills the join
Only use a pre mixed grout

None
13.
Why would a low sheen finish be a better choice than a flat finish for interior wall areas?

Low sheen finishes are more resistant to scuff marks and are easier to clean.
Low sheen coatings are usually cheaper.
A low sheen coating is more environmentally friendly.
None
14.
In the construction industry, where may you encounter Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM)?
Asbestos is no longer used in building materials so it will not be found onsite.
Most commonly in buildings built before 1988 and in particular fibro walls and soffit (eave) linings, insulation materials, ‘super six’ (fibro) corrugated roofs.
Asbestos containing materials will always be identified by a sticker saying ‘Warning asbestos’.
Only in old bathrooms.
None
15.
If you suspect lead paint hazards to be onsite how could you identify its presence?
With the aid of a lead test kit which are available from many paint retailers
Lead based paints were banned in NSW in 1970 so you will never encounter lead based paints anymore.
Lead based paints were never used on residential projects.
Ask your supervisor
