SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
D1.1 identify and explain the importance of the specific components of legislation and standards related to workplace safety in the manufactur- ing industry (e.g., Occupational Health and Safety Act [OHSA], Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System [WHMIS]) and the specific responsibilities of the relevant oversight/regula- tory organizations (e.g., Workplace Safety and Insurance Board [WSIB], Industrial Accident Prevention Association [IAPA], Construction
Safety Association of Ontario [CSAO]);
D1.2 demonstrate good housekeeping practices
in the work environment (e.g., cleaning up spills and leaks, keeping areas clean and clear of obstruc- tions, properly organizing tools and equipment);
D1.3 handle materials safely and appropriately in compliance with the information included in the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) from the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS);
D1.4 demonstrate an understanding of procedures
to ensure safe and productive work practices in the manufacturing workplace (e.g., perform safety inspections and audits that include ergonomic con- siderations related to workshop layout and set-up, material handling, ease of movement, lighting, workstation set-up);
D1.5 demonstrate the safe use of tools and equipment in compliance with safety manuals, instructions, and institutional requirements;
D1.6 use proper ventilation systems to control air quality (e.g., to minimize the effects of welding fumes, plastic off-gassing, cutting-fluid misting, heat treating of metal);
D1.7 use protective clothing and equipment as required to ensure their own and others’ safety in the work environment.
By the end of this course, students will:
D2.1 identify employment opportunities available in the manufacturing industry locally, provin- cially, and nationally;
D2.2 identify manufacturing-related college pro- grams and apprenticeships that are available in the manufacturing industry prior to or immedi- ately following graduation;
D2.3 identify opportunities available locally to obtain certifications and/or training that it would be beneficial to have if they are pursuing a career in manufacturing (e.g., cardiopulmonary resuscitation [CPR], Standard First Aid, fall protec- tion training);
D2.4 identify groups and programs that are avail- able to support students who are interested in pursuing non-traditional career choices in the manufacturing industry (e.g., mentoring programs, virtual networking/support groups, specialized postsecondary programs, relevant trade/industry associations);
