After lunch, I studied all the plan related to Module 6 and asked question about the switchgear room in Module 6. Performed lighting cable schedule for all modules and identify each cables and separate it according to it's usage. Also generate formulas to calculate the percentage of completion.

Week 2 - 13rd April 2010

Had a toolbox meeting at site area at 7.45am with all the sub-contractors. After the toolbox meeting, I enter site for the first time. It's a whole new experience to me. I visited Module Supporting Frame (MSF). By visiting MSF and referring to the layout plan and components inside of it, i get a better view also better understanding of MSF. I was brought to the other modules.

I studied back the diagram of MSF and also the cable schedule of MSF and its relation. Besides that, I also did some documentation and updating cable schedule from the report of technicians.

Week 2 - 12nd April 2010

Had a toolbox meeting at 7.45am. After the toolbox meeting, I had 1 hour safety introduction briefing by Mr. Abu Bakar regarding the safety and precaution procedures about "Tangga Barat" project. I obtained a sticker by attending the safety talk which will stick at the safety helmet. This sticker acts as a permission to enter the site area.

After that, I studied each module's documentation including the flow diagram, single line diagram, power, control, heater, lighting, small power cable and types of circuit breakers. Also, did some preparations before entering site tomorrow.

Week 1 - 10th April 2010

I continued updating the document on modules from time to time also performed labelling on locks and keys for circuit breakers. Approached by Mr. Abu Bakar, he explained to me about "Log Out Tag Out (LOTO) System". It is a very important procedure when anyone is working alone. Without implementing this step, one may result in serious injury or death. Mr. Abu Bakar also told me that i will go through a safety induction talk with a safety officer before I am allowed to enter site.

I also did labelling on locks and keys for circuit breakers.

Week 1 - 8th April 2010

Had a toolbox meeting at 7.50am. After the toolbox meeting, I continued to work on documentation for cable schedule. I was required to generate formulas for each modules of percentage completion.

I did some research on types of circuits breakers that used in this project. There are 4 main types such as Vacuum Circuit Breaker (VCB), Air Circuit Breaker (ACB), Moulded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) and Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB).
