The general purpose of the occupational analysis is to provide workable, basic information dealing with the many and varied duties performed in the carpentry occupation. The analysis starts with the progress of a house from the first study of the blueprints to the laying out of the excavations and continuing step-by-step until the interior finish is applied to the completed structure. The document opens with a brief introduction followed by a job description. The bulk of the document is presented in table form. Ten duties are broken down into a number of tasks and for each task a two-page table is presented, showing on the first page: tools, equipment, materials, objects acted upon; performance knowledge (related also to decisions, cues and errors); safety--hazard; and on the second page: science; math--number systems; and communications (performance modes, examples, and skills and concepts). The duties include: surveying; footing and foundation walls; framing floors, walls and ceilings, and roofs; roofing; exterior finish; insulation; interior trim; and stairs. The two appendixes consist of list of basic arithmetic skills and concepts, and carpentry tools and equipment. (BP)
