Trowels From Around the World
This picture of trowels from around the world has been provided by William F. Roark, director of manpower development for the Brick Institute of America. "Most countries have different methods of laying brick and therefore use different tools," explains Roark. "The Americans, Irish and English use the same shape (see trowel at lower right), and their bricklaying method is about the same."
The trowel directly above the American version is used in France, Germany and Switzerland. The remaining four, beginning at the lower left, are used in Iran, China, Korea and Holland.
Crane Safety Tips from PCSA
The Power Crane and Shovel Association suggests you make it a habit to lock the cab of your crane when securing it for the day; in fact, whenever you leave the job site. Unlocked construction machinery is potentially dangerous-youngsters or other unauthorized personnel could enter an unlocked crane, where they might injure themselves as well as damage the machine.
