This is an  introduction to the workshop environment, the machinery/welding area and the stock material storage racks.  

Learn - What are the basic rules and routines in a workshop to keep us safe  and the workshop  environment orderly .

Identify which statement  is a rule and which statement is a good work habit or routine.  Highlight the rules in red and the routines in green.  

Describe or explain the reason why we have it as a rule or routine. Are there alternatives you  can think of or is there anything missing ?

Any  workshop or work place  is a hazardous environment with hazards that can do us harm and  in some cases cause  significant injury.  Work place accidents happen every day and it is everyone's responsibility to make sure we work in a safe environment and go home well and healthy.

Learn- What are the different shapes, colours. meanings and actions you need to take with the different safety signs you may see in a workplace.

Create-  Make a copy of the Hazard identification and action worksheet.

Identify the type of sign ( hazard, mandatory, prohibitive .......)

Describe what the sign means 

Explain what action you would take if you came across this  this sign 

Extension tasks- add 3 signs which a bilingual ( Maori and English)

Create your own sign for the workshop ( eg place bags under a desk)

Share  your work onto a blog post - put the link onto the spreadsheet.

Wearing sandals and shorts may be okay at the beach but in a hazardous environment such as construction it will do little to protect you from the environment. 

In a workshop we can protect ourselves from harm by using the appropriate PPE. This can be general PPE worn most of the time such as safety glasses or task specific PPE for activities such as welding.

Learn- What is the general Personal Protective Equipment available in the workshop and when do we need to wear it.

Create - Design  a digital learning outcome for  13 to 15 yr olds to be safe in the workshop. Do this as if it would be played or shown at the start of the year.  Alternatively you can answer the questions on the google doc and copy/paste it onto your blog. 

Share - Attach this to a blog post explain what the basic PPE  requirements in  a workshop at HHS are.
