Training Room 2: Keeping Safe and Healthy—Standards and Practices in an Agricultural Environment
Project 2: Teaching Others About Safety Standards and Practices in Your Agricultural Specialization—Creating a Risk Management Tutorial
Project Skill Level: Basic
Estimated Required Time: 45 hours (to be completed as work is completed in Training Room 2)
Project Introduction
This project will be completed as you work your way through the training room. Training Room 2 will help you to learn about standards and practices that are associated with fire safety, electrical safety, ladder safety, confined-space safety, and workplace chemical safety in agricultural environments.
For this project you will be required to develop a tool that you could use to teach others about the standards and practices that can protect their safety as they work in a specific agricutural environment of your choosing.
Project 2: Creating a Risk Management Tutorial
Your Task
Your project will require you to create a tool that will teach others about the standards and practices that would protect them in the agricultural workplace. This tool can be a video, a presentation using a program such as Microsoft PowerPoint, an audio clip, an instructional game, or another format agreed upon by you and your teacher.
You can focus your tool so that it is specific to your agricultural worksite or a worksite that you would choose to work on. You need to teach about the standards and practices related to two types of hazards studied in Training Room 2.
With your Risk Management Tutorial your target will be to
- promote awareness of the two specific hazards you have chosen to focus on
- create a plan to safely use specific standards and practices to establish safe working conditions and prevent injury when working with these two potential hazards in your agricultural area of specialization
To Do
- Choose your focus. Begin by choosing to focus your tutorial on the standards and practices for safety in two of the following potential hazards:
- fire
- electricity
- ladder use
- confined spaces
- workplace chemical use and storage
- Determine some of the criteria for assessment. List and describe the top two things about your design that will make your Risk Management Tutorial effective in clearly communicating health and safety practices and procedures to your co-workers. These two criteria will be handed in attached to your Self Assessment for Project 2 and used with the AGR3000 Project Rubric to assess your plan.
- Find your information. Do some research to find the important standards for establishing safe working conditions and essential practices to prevent injury in your chosen areas using
- videos, interactive activities, and text resources provided throughout the training room
- onlline resources that you find and assess as valid and reliable on safety awareness materials currently available to you on your worksite
- discussions with supervisors and fellow employees on your worksite
- personal observations made when touring your worksite
- videos, interactive activities, and text resources provided throughout the training room
- Create and design. Create a Risk Management Tutorial that is a communication tool that
- identifies the details how each hazard you have chosen could be present in your worksite
- identifies the plans, strategies, tests, or practices that would be need to be in place and followed to ensure a safe working environment for workers in your workplace
- identifies the details how each hazard you have chosen could be present in your worksite
- Submit your work. You will submit a final copy of your Risk Management Tutorial in the form that most suits you:
- video clip produced by you (.mp4)
- PowerPoint presentation or other digital presentation of your choice
- audio recording (such as a radio infomercial)
- Microsoft Word document or OneNote document with text and images
- other format agreed upon by you and your teacher
- video clip produced by you (.mp4)
Remember to contact your teacher with questions, concerns, or requests for feedback as you work on this project.
Tools
- Use the Risk Management Tutorial Planning Template to support your work.
- The Self-Assessment for Project 2 must be completed midway through your work and upon completion of your work. This piece must be submitted to your teacher with your final project.
- The AGR3000 Project Rubric will guide your work and help you assess your project.
Final Submission
Submit your project—the Risk Management Tutorial and your Self-Assessment for Project 2—to your teacher.
