Working in an Engineering Workplace
Whilst you are in the workshop, you are required to ensure that all materials and equipment are handled and stored
correctly.
This means that you are expected to use your knowledge and understanding of the HASWA 1974 as a guideline to
ensure all workers are working in a safe and approved manner.
Demonstrate this using a photograph on this page and annotating what safety considerations you have made.

Risks and Hazards
A risk is the exposure to the chance of injury or loss.
For example: A fire-exit being obstructed may prevent people from leaving a dangerous area
The hazard in this situation would be the chair that is obstructing the fire-exit.
When making the ‘Bevel Gauge’ that you have been shown, what would the potential risks be from using the tools, materials,
processes and equipment?
What would the danger of not fulfilling the procedures be in an unsafe working environment?

Evaluating an incident in the workshop
Following the recent incident in the workshop when the workshop technician, fell off of the bench while trying to open a window, it was clear that everyone
had a different reaction to the incident and different ideas about the course of action to take.
following a group discussion ,describe and explain the emergency procedures that you consider should have been

Proposal for change of D&T Department emergency procedures (TWO PARTS)
1.
Now described and consider the emergency procedures that should have been followed following the recent window incident in the workshop , you must
EXPLAIN what went wrong after the event and WHY. Did anything positive happen? (e.g. speed of response, or found out their was a lack of emergency
contact information). Concentrate on AFTER THE EVENT
What happened: (At least FIVE points to be discussed)
-Technician fell from window / work benching after attempting to open window in order to ventilate room
-Explain the incident with photos and annotation
Reporting procedure. What should it be ?
Workshop dusty due to use of router on mdf : no extraction = dusty area
Went into room alone – how long was he there ?
how long was the person alone
Design of window area an issue / location of benching / room re-design
Response to accident – what should happen
How serious was the accident
Is there a need for a risk assessment with regard to opening windows ?
Need for more signs ?
Person absent from work
Inform someone that you are going into a workshop
2. You must now prepare a MEMO to the Head of the D&T department with proposals for improvements to the emergency procedures
in the event of an accident. You must JUSTFY your proposals in an e-mail and e-mail it to Mr Gilligan and then amend the policy.

witness statement recognising the qualities you must have to
ensure a good working relationship in the workshop.
YOU MUST MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR WITNESS SHEET
SIGNED TO ACHIEVE THIS GRADE CRITERIA.
Before you approach the technician, ensure that you are
confident that you have met the following qualities for a good
working relationship:
You can:
•work with others in school (peers, teachers and
unknown).
•work with others in outside school (staff, visits)
•work as part of a team
•make recommendations towards safety in the department
•deal with problems in the workshop (equipment
unavailable – what you can do while waiting)
