relate Workers' Compensation
Board and WHMIS regulations to their own work environments
apply safe work practices
when completing personal projects
identify and implement
safety and accident prevention procedures for an entire work site
evaluate and describe
the benefits of good health related to personal productivity and safety
SUGGESTED
INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES
Regularly ask students
to access and refer to resources outlining safety and hazard regulations (e.g.,
MSD sheets, WCB manual, WHMIS, prescribed safety procedures). Have students
comply with these guidelines in everyday workshop activity. When opportunity
arises, discuss the reasons for particular regulations (e.g., have students
consider what might happen if the regulation were not in place or were ignored).
As a class, have students
conduct a monthly safety inspection of the workshop and equipment, and report
their findings.
Set up 'hazard scenarios'
in a shop environment for students to identify. Have them suggest appropriate
remedies. As an alternative, compile a 'portfolio' of hazardous situations
(e.g., a collection of photos) and have students analyse these to 'spot the
problem(s)' and identify solutions.
Have students assess
a variety of machining processes and determine the safety issues associated
with each process (e.g., jigs, guards, fences, hold-down devices, push sticks).
Provide students with
statistical information regarding workplace accidents, and have them work
in groups to identify related risk factors.
SUGGESTED
ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES
Have students describe
the tools and procedures required to safely construct a raised door panel.
Evaluate students' responses based on safety considerations associated with:
tool or machine selection
sequence of procedures
set-up of equipment
(jigs, guards, hold-down devices, etc.)
use of personal protective
equipment.
When students are challenged
to identify solutions to safety problems in a work environment, consider the
extent to which they propose comprehensive or long-term solutions rather than
merely ad hoc, short-term solutions.
Evaluate the extent to
which each student's monthly Safety Inspection reports:
adhere to WCB regulations
are legible and well
organized
include all equipment
in the shop
contain recommendations
for safety improvements, if required.
