SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
D1.1 demonstrate an understanding of the specific components of legislation and stand- ards related to workplace safety in the manu- facturing industry (e.g., Occupational Health
and Safety Act [OHSA], Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System [WHMIS]) and
the specific responsibilities of the relevant over- sight/regulatory organizations (e.g., Workplace Safety and Insurance Board [WSIB], Industrial Accident Prevention Association [IAPA]);
D1.2 describe and assess ways to promote safe and productive work practices in the manufac- turing workplace (e.g., develop and use a safety checklist for work practices, tools, equipment, and operations; develop and conduct safety audits and inspections of the school manufacturing facility; design a plan to address health and safety deficien- cies; develop an emergency action plan to implement in the event of a spill);
D1.3 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);
D1.4 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);
D1.5 use proper ventilation and/or filtration sys- tems to control air quality (e.g., to minimize the
effects of welding fumes, plastic off-gassing, cutting-fluid misting, and heat treating);
D1.6 demonstrate an understanding of the health hazards and injuries associated with workplace conditions (e.g., repetitive motion and carpal tun- nel syndrome, noise and hearing loss, radiation, pinch points);
D1.7 explain how ergonomics can affect produc- tivity, product quality, and employee needs
and satisfaction, and identify ergonomic consid- erations related to workshop layout and set-up (e.g., material handling, ease of movement, light- ing, workstation design, organization of tools
and equipment);
D1.8 use and maintain 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 demonstrate an understanding of their per- sonal strengths and areas for improvement in preparation for a career in the manufacturing industry;
D2.2 describe the role of management in the manufacturing industry in promoting equity, diversity, and non-discriminatory practices in the workplace;
D2.3 demonstrate the ability to work in various roles (e.g., designer, scheduler, technician, supervi- sor) as part of a manufacturing team from the concept stage to product completion;
