Throughout the course a variety of topics will be discussed as they relate to the various projects. By the end of this course, students will:
describe industry hazards (e.g., ergonomic, mechanical, electrical, and chemical hazards),
identify sources of hazard information (e.g., Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System [WHMIS], Passport to Safety), and describe methods of preventing accidents (e.g., safety audits, regular safety training);
demonstrate an understanding of and apply safe work practices (e.g., using ergonomically
designed equipment and work areas, keeping equipment in proper working order, maintaining
a well-organized workplace, using lockout procedures when installing or maintaining equipment,
wearing gloves when handling hot lights, using a spotter when climbing ladders, keeping liquids
away from electronic equipment) when performing communications technology procedures.
