OH+S and term 3
Some of you have not got a result or have a 'W'—withheld or "R"— revisited, for your OH+S and i am pleased to say we have kept that subject open, as a result of the interuptions to term 2.

on week 2 at 6pm in your studio— i will work with those of you who need this finalised and some like mike smith and lisa kennewell sorted out the online discussion, well done guys.

feel free to visit the site at http://adgraphparttimeohs.wikispaces.com to jolt your memories

what we need to do is spend some time to plan your responses to the OH+S module so that by week 3 its all sorted.

we can apply what we know and do to the new campus.

see you then. tim

**tuesday 8 june 2010**
its been an interrupted course and process, my health hasn't really helped with large chunks of time being lost in the completion and motivation for you all, in this course.

occupational health and safety are real issues and should never be taken lightly. and they are a requirement for you to complete the adgraph course.

but having said that we don't wan to bore you 'to death' with detail.

I believe the best learning takes place when the student has their own individual experience that they can identify with.

In the past it was a lecture series, then online with JANISON, where there is solid content and resources []

this year we have tried the facebook styled wiki page.. with varying degrees of success.

Yet all is not lost and i propose the following. In groups you were to identify the 5 tasks of OH+S.

what i would like is to do is mention the work of lisa kennewell who has met the minimum requirements of adding her emergency point and also illustrated the law aspect of OH+S. LIsa well done you can now sit back and observe the rest.

its is clear that you need to meet the minimum requirements of understanding.

so i propose the following.

each of you regardless of the group work are to post any interpretation of the five topics. and tackle any of the questions listed below. don't double up. everything can be answered in class tonight.

1. The law—here show or describe what is the law and how it impacts on you.the main point is who is responsible for OH+S in the studio at college or work. what is one of the tafe OH+S policies.

2. identify the risks. have alook tonight in class an take a picture of the risks. post them online. if a couple of you choose this then fantastic.

3 assess the risks. are the risks high, medium or low? around the studio i trust there are limited risks. because you are all aware of them. low is still a risk but it needs action. what would you do if there was paint spilt on the floor? what if a large panel of broken glass was in the doorway of the studio. is this high risk? and with this risk what are your obligations? who do you tell?

4 working safely— how do you work safely? what PPEs do you employ? these are Personal Protective Equipment. PPE take some pictures of them being used and post them. Sharps containers and materials safety data sheets. show these. whats in them?

5 emergencies. what constitutes an emergency? what do you do? and where do you go? how do you know when an emergency is over?

feel free to post, write draw, link. see if you can update the info in the correct task page.

then we are done. any questions contact me tim.saunders@tafesa.edu.au
