[Design and Technology] Risk assessments

[David Fletcher]

Hi Steve,

 

There are risk management forms, and also safe working procedure posters for
every woodwork and metalwork machine, featured on the DATTA.Vic website.

(Scan down to bottom section of OH&S)   www.datta.vic.edu.au

 

 

You can substitute a photo of your own machine (if significantly different
from one shown).  

 

I originally did my own RISK ASSESSMENT for each machine, following the
guidelines from the Safe Use of Machinery in Technology teaching course,
which ALL Technology teachers should have completed over 3 - 4 days -
courses run by Holmesglen TAFE. (see attached example)

 

Regards,

 

David Fletcher

Secretary

DATTA.Vic

Afternoon fellow techies.

We have been asked to conduct risk assessment sheets for all tools and
machinery in our technology rooms. I was wondering if anybody else has
already conducted such a task and what would be the easiest way and least
time consuming. Basically, I am asking if any of you are willing to give me
this information so that I don't have to do it!!! any help would be great.

Dear colleague

 

Welcome back to the 2012 school year. I hope you had a safe and relaxing
break and are feeling refreshed.

 

I would like to draw your attention to some very important information that
was published in a Special Edition of the December 2011 VCE, VCAL and VET
VCAA Bulletin. This Supplement covers 2012 VCE School based assessment audit
and review, in particular new processes that all teachers need to be aware
of. This includes the application of statistical moderation to
School-assessed Task scores in all studies that have SATs as part of the
assessment.

 

The link to this Special Edition December Bulletin Supplement is:

The February 2012 VCAA Bulletin Supplement 1 Administrative Advice for
School-based Assessment should be available shortly (I expect sometime
today) on the VCAA website at:

http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/correspondence/index.html

This supplement contains: Administrative Advice on School-based assessment,
Technology Studies Teacher Additional Comment sheet and information on how
to fill this sheet in,  Scope of the task, Assessment criteria, performance
descriptors, School-assessed Task Assessment sheets and study specific
authentication record sheets. 

Dates for Information Sessions for School-assessed Tasks conducted by the
VCAA in March are also published in the February Bulletin Supplement 1.

 

If you have not already subscribed to the VCAA Bulletin Online, you can do
so at

All the best for a smooth start,

Lorraine.
