=the wash up= tuesday 1 june 2010

its been an interrupted course and process, my health hasn't really helped with large chunks of time being lost in the completion and motivation for you all, in this course.

occupational health and safety are real issues and should never be taken lightly. and they are a requirement for you to complete the adgraph course.

but having said that we don't wan to bore you 'to death' with detail.

I believe the best learning takes place when the student has their own individual experience that they can identify with.

In the past it was a lecture series, then online with JANISON, where there is solid content and resources []

this year we have tried the facebook styled wiki page.. with varying degrees of success.

Yet all is not lost and i propose the following. In groups you were to identify the 5 tasks of OH+S.

its is clear that you need to meet the minimum requirements of understanding.

so i propose the following.

if you haven't got your self sorted here's an sneakers prompt.

1. The law—here show or describe what is the law and how it impacts on you.the main point is who is responsible for OH+S in the studio at college or work. what is one of the tafe OH+S policies.

2. identify the risks. have a look today in class an take a picture of the risks. post them online. if a couple of you choose this then fantastic.

3 assess the risks. are the risks high, medium or low? around the studio i trust there are limited risks. because you are all aware of them. low is still a risk but it needs action. what would you do if there was paint spilt on the floor? what if a large panel of broken glass was in the doorway of the studio. is this high risk? and with this risk what are your obligations? who do you tell?

4 working safely— how do you work safely? what PPEs do you employ? these are Personal Protective Equipment. PPE take some pictures of them being used and post them. Sharps containers and materials safety data sheets. show these. whats in them?

5 emergencies. what constitutes an emergency? what do you do? and where do you go? how do you know when an emergency is over?

feel free to post, write draw, link. see if you can update the info in the correct task page.

then we are done. any questions contact me tim.saunders@tafesa.edu.au
