Project
You will create a presentation that showcases your knowledge of the safety controls for each of the five types of workplace hazards. The three levels of hazard controls and the five steps in field-level hazard assessment are examples of the kind of information you will include in your presentation.
Your presentation can take any form that you and your teacher agree upon. For example, you might present your information as a combination of text and pictures, a computer presentation, a graphic design, or a video. Whatever format you choose, ensure that your presentation includes all required information and references.
Training Room 1 Project Example shows just one way to showcase your knowledge in the form of a PowerPoint presentation. Notice how the slideshow incorporates the three levels of hazard controls that you have studied. In your presentation, remember to address each of the five types of workplace hazards.
Preparation
What Is Required?
You will need the supplies and/or software necessary to create your presentation.
What Do I Need to Do?
Your presentation must address the following questions:
- What are workplace health and safety principles?
- What does it mean to put these principles into practice as a worker?
- What controls are put into place for each of the five main hazard types?
- What does it mean to put these controls into practice for each of the five main hazard types?
In your presentation, you must
- describe each of the five main hazard types
- provide three examples for each of the five hazard types
- identify the controls used in each of your examples
How Do I Do It?
- Complete Training Room 1: Defining Workplace Safety Principles and Practices.
- As you work, take notes to help you complete your presentation. For example, gather examples of workplace hazards as you come across them; you might even have examples from your own experience. If you are listing PPE as a control used in an example, list what kind of PPE was used. If WHMIS was used, give specific examples of what practices were used, such as the label used. You will need to do some research beyond the course to fully address the questions. Organize all of your information using the Safety Practices Planner.
- Create your presentation using text and pictures to reveal your knowledge of the safety principles and practices that exist to keep you safe on the jobsite.
What Do I Already Know?
From your previous studies in HCS3000: Workplace Safety Systems, you know how to define workplace safety and wellness. You know the essential components of a health and safety manangement system.
Assessment
Summative Assessment (Project)
When marking project assignments, your teacher will consider the extent to which you do the following:
- Follow the directions given for the project.
- Collect, analyze, and interpret information appropriately with supporting details.

- Communicate ideas clearly and correctly, including citing references.
- Present your ideas in a clear and appealing format, using appropriate supporting information.
Your teacher will assess your work using the Training Room 1 Project Rubric.
Formative Self-Assessment (Reflection)
Respond to the Formative Self-Assessment Reflection Questions once you have completed the project.
Remember to save all of your work in your course folder.
Project Summary
Once you have completed this project, submit your completed Formative Self-Assessment Reflection Questions and your presentation to your teacher.
Your teacher may ask you to present your reflection and presentation.
Next Steps
Congratulations! You have completed Training Room 1. You now have some tools for keeping safe on the job. In Training Room 1 Project, you showed your knowledge of workplace hazards and the workplace safety controls that should be in place. You know the steps to take to assess hazards and put controls in place. This is a good time to update your Course Checklist.
You are now ready to move to Training Room 2: Workplace Safety in Action. You will create a pocket guide to workplace safety that you can take with you to your job site. Have fun with this. The pocket guide you create will be a real tool that might save you from injury while you work.
