SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
D1.1 demonstrate an understanding of the specific components of legislation and standards related to workplace safety in the manufacturing industry (e.g., Occupational Health and Safety
Act [OHSA], Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System [WHMIS]) and the specific responsibilities of the relevant oversight/regu- latory organizations (e.g., Workplace Safety
and Insurance Board [WSIB], Industrial Accident Prevention Association [IAPA], Construction Safety Association of Ontario [CSAO]);
D1.2 describe and assess ways to promote safe and productive work practices in the manufacturing 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 deficiencies);
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 systems to control air quality (e.g., to minimize the effects of welding fumes, plastic off-gassing, cutting-fluid misting, and heat treating);
D1.6 explain how ergonomics can affect produc- tivity, product quality, and employee needs and satisfaction, and identify ergonomic considera- tions related to workshop layout and set-up (e.g., material handling, ease of movement, lighting, workstation design, tool and equipment organization, speed and efficiency);
D1.7 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 assess their personal aptitude for career opportunities in the manufacturing industry;
D2.2 assess postsecondary programs associated with manufacturing and develop a personal pathway leading to a specific career;
D2.3 research and report on opportunities avail- able locally to obtain certifications and/or train- ing that it would be beneficial to have if they are pursuing a career in manufacturing (e.g., cardiopulmonary resuscitation [CPR], Standard First Aid, fall protection training);
