| Lesson Topic: Action to be taken when hazards are identified or when accidents occur in a school workshop or practical area. |
Learning Objective/s:
- Identify and describe the immediate actions required when a hazard is recognised in the workshop.
- Explain the correct procedure for responding to an accident, including first‑aid priorities and emergency notification.
- Complete and submit the required safety documentation (Hazard Register, Risk Assessment, Accident Report) accurately and promptly.
- Analyse a hazard incident using root‑cause techniques and propose permanent control measures.
- Demonstrate safe communication of safety procedures to peers.
|
Materials Needed:
- Projector and screen
- Printed handouts of Hazard Register and Accident Report forms
- Sample risk assessment worksheet
- First‑aid kit (for demonstration)
- Whiteboard and markers
- Safety signage examples
|
Introduction:
Begin with a short video of a workshop incident to capture attention. Ask students what they would do first if they saw a dangerous tool left unattended, linking to prior lessons on risk assessment. Explain that by the end of the lesson they will be able to follow a clear step‑by‑step response plan and accurately record incidents.
|
Lesson Structure:
- Do‑now (5'): Students write down any recent hazards they observed; share briefly (2’).
- Direct instruction (10'): Teacher presents the immediate hazard response steps using slides and a flowchart.
- Guided practice (15'): In pairs, students role‑play a hazard scenario, practising stopping work, isolating the hazard and notifying the supervisor.
- Documentation activity (10'): Complete a mock Hazard Register entry and Risk Assessment form for the scenario.
- Accident response drill (15'): Simulated minor injury; students follow first‑aid steps, call emergency services for a serious injury, and fill an Accident Report form.
- Investigation & control planning (10'): Whole class uses the “5 Whys” to identify root causes and propose permanent controls.
- Check for understanding (5'): Quick quiz (Kahoot/exit ticket) on key steps.
|
Conclusion:
Recap the key actions for both hazards and accidents, emphasizing swift documentation. Students complete an exit ticket stating the first three steps they would take if a hazard appears. For homework, review the school’s safety policy and bring one suggestion for improvement.
