Teacher Lesson Plan 4 : safe@work General Module



|Lesson Objective |This lesson reviews the information presented in the safe@work General Module covering: |

| | |

| |Personal Safety |

| |Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). |

|Background Notes For Teachers |Employers have a Duty of Care to eliminate hazards or minimise risks to ensure the health and safety of all who |

| |enter the workplace. This responsibility includes taking action to eliminate or minimize electrical and |

| |mechanical hazards. Legislation requires a systematic approach to this by identifying, assessing and |

| |controlling risks associated with electrical equipment and with fixed and temporary electrical installations. |

| | |

| |The activities in this lesson aim to highlight the need for students to apply the S.A.M. principles (see the |

| |Terminology Checklist below) to those areas of the workplace that include equipment and personal safety. |

|Terminology Checklist |Workplace Stress – fear, anxiety or other emotional disturbance, often associated with feeling powerless to act |

| |in a given work-related situation. |

| |Workplace harassment – an action, incident or pattern of behaviour that harms, injures or upsets another person.|

| |It includes situations where employees and other people may be abused, threatened, bullied or physically |

| |assaulted. |

| |Personal protective equipment (PPE) – equipment or clothing such as respirators, hard hats, safety glasses and |

| |hearing protection. PPE should only be used when other measures of risk control are not practicable. Efforts |

| |to remove health and safety risks by addressing the hazard itself should continue, as PPE is considered a |

| |“measure of last resort”. |

| | |

|Review Activity |Identifying Hazards. |

|Activity 1 |Reviewing Key Points |

|25 minutes | |

| |Review the Key Points. |

| | |

| |Read Key Points with students. Have them record these key points in their workbooks. |

| | |

| |Personal Safety |

| |Stress is usually described as the reaction in people to excessive demands, pressures and expectations. Usually|

| |people who are stressed feel a sense of loss of control over their lives, or that they cannot cope. |

| | |

| |There will always be times at work when you experience some stress. Talking to others about your concerns often|

| |eases the pressure. Keeping fit and healthy will increase your ability to deal with stress. |

| | |

| |Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) |

| |- When hazards in the workplace cannot be eliminated or reduced sufficiently by other risk controls, employers |

| |are required to provide personal protective equipment and clothing. |
