CHSE Odisha VOC-ITV Construction Painter & Decorator study plan

Classify at least ten given substrates (plaster, putty, cement render, gypsum board, wood, mild steel, galvanised steel, aluminium, previously painted masonry, damp wall) by porosity, alkalinity and adhesion risk, and record the correct primer family for each in a comparison table.

Describe the full preparation sequence for a new cement-plaster wall and a previously painted wall, listing each step in order from moisture checking to final dust removal.

Explain why moisture content and alkalinity must be tested before priming, state the acceptable moisture reading for masonry, and describe the effect of applying solvent-based paint to a damp or highly alkaline surface.

Identify the purpose and limitations of putty, filler and sealer coats, and state the maximum thickness and drying interval for each in a typical interior sequence.

Match five common paint types (distemper, emulsion, enamel, exterior weatherproof emulsion, wood finish) to suitable substrates and state one substrate each must not be used on.

Break down the composition of a paint (binder, pigment, solvent or water, additives) and state how changing the binder-to-pigment ratio affects gloss, opacity and durability.

Calculate thinner or water addition for three given products using the manufacturer's stated ratio, and explain the consequence of over-thinning on hiding power and adhesion.

Compare brushing, roller and spray application for a wall, a door edge and a ceiling, giving the correct tool, nap or bristle type and the reason for that choice.

Sequence a three-coat interior system (primer, undercoat, finish) with drying intervals, sanding between coats and the inspection point before each next coat.

Diagnose four finish defects (sagging, brush marks, blistering, poor opacity) and state one application cause and one correction for each.

List the personal protective equipment required for surface preparation, solvent-based painting and spray application, and justify each item by the hazard it controls.

Describe safe handling, storage and disposal of paints, thinners and empty containers according to common Indian site practice, including flammable-liquid storage rules.

Set up a working area safely: ventilation, exclusion of other trades, protection of floors and fittings, and safe access equipment for a wall up to 3 m.

Demonstrate the correct body position and stroke pattern for cutting in an edge, and explain how poor posture or over-reaching causes both defects and injury.

State the immediate first-aid response for skin contact, eye splash and inhalation of solvent-based paint, and identify when to stop work and report.

Select the correct access method (step ladder, trestle, mobile scaffold) for three stated working heights and state the inspection checks before use.

Identify common electrical and falling-object hazards in an occupied building and state the isolation or barricading step for each.

Assess three sample surfaces for defects (cracks, efflorescence, loose putty, rust, mould) and prescribe the repair method and the recoat waiting time for each.

Explain the preparation differences between interior and exterior surfaces, including treatment of joints, cracks and previously failed coatings.

Describe how to test and treat a damp wall, including the source of moisture, the need to cure it before decoration, and the consequence of painting over it.

Describe the preparation and application sequence for at least three decorative finishes (texture or stucco finish, stencil work, sponge or rag-rolling effect), including the base coat required.

Explain how wall coverings are measured, cut, pasted and hung, including pattern matching, seam placement and the treatment of corners and switches.

State the substrate and environmental conditions required before applying a decorative finish or hanging wall covering, and the consequence of applying them too early.

Compare the durability and repair approach of a decorative finish against a plain painted wall, and state where each is appropriate.

Produce a small sample board plan listing the coats, tools and drying times for one chosen decorative finish.

Measure a described room (four walls, ceiling, doors, windows) and calculate paintable wall area by deducting openings correctly.

Compute paint quantity from coverage rate and number of coats for three products, then add a stated wastage allowance and round to purchasable pack sizes.

Prepare a simple cost estimate for one room covering material, labour days and consumables, and show the arithmetic line by line.

Read and interpret a simple given plan or elevation: identify the scale, the wall dimensions, the door and window positions, and the surfaces to be painted.

Produce a neat hand sketch or labelled elevation of one wall showing dimensions, openings and finishes, with a title block and a legend.

Outline the roles of client, contractor, supervisor and painter on a small job, and state the painter's reporting and quality responsibilities.

Describe how a small painting contractor wins work, quotes, schedules labour and manages material purchase and payment, including a simple record-keeping method.

Identify the statutory registrations and basic compliance items a small painting enterprise in Odisha would commonly need, and where to verify current requirements rather than assume them.

Explain how to communicate with a client about scope, colour approval, delay and defect rectification, and draft a short written scope note.

Identify two realistic routes to work after training (wage employment, sub-contracting, own enterprise) and list the skills and documents each route requires.

Re-test the two lowest-scoring domains from weeks 1 to 7 by writing and answering 20 original practice questions per domain without notes.

Redo one full estimation calculation and one drawing or elevation from memory, then check both against the week 6 deliverable.

Recite the safety, PPE and first-aid points from week 3 without reference, and correct any gap found.

Build a one-page revision sheet linking each domain to its most testable facts, formulas and defect lists.

Simulate a timed mixed test of 40 questions across all eight domains and review every wrong answer to its source topic.
