and report on the shop's safety practices, both negative and positive.
Have students suggest
procedures to ensure a safe working environment and discuss how they compare
to WCB regulations and information provided on MSD sheets.
Discuss with students
activities they will perform in the shop, and have them identify protection
required.
Have each student complete
a floor plan of the shop, showing locations of safety equipment.
SUGGESTED
ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES
As students work in the
shop, observe the extent to which they are able to:
- demonstrate safe use of tools and equipment
- demonstrate safe handling of potentially hazardous materials
- utilize safe and healthy work practices.
During a class discussion
on the WCB regulations, observe the extent to which students are able to:
- identify the responsibilities of employees and employers
- identify procedures/standards in case of accident or injury
- identify different types of protective equipment and their proper use
- identify potential hazards
- provide examples of possible preventive measures.
When students use MSD
sheets, evaluate responses based on questions such as:
- What is the purpose of MSD sheets?
- How are these sheets obtained?
- What are the legal requirements?
- What kinds of information do the sheets provide?
- Where are these sheets kept for reference?
- What products must be labelled?
