My employer must follow the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992, their responsibilities are to provide the mandatory training and supervisions, ensure policies and procedures are put in place, plan, organise, control, monitor and review health and safety arrangements, make sure the equipment is available and to maintain risk assessments and to deal with chemicals and other substances safely. As an employee I also have to follow COSHH 2002 (control of substances hazardous to health) in my workplace. This means I have to follow the procedures set in place by my employer and attend training. I have to make sure any hazardous substances are kept locked away where unauthorized people cannot get them. I also need to dispose of hazardous substances correctly and not mix substances in case of any hazardous fumes or explosions that may occur.
CHM130 Lab 1 SAFETY, EQUIPMENT, AND THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD Name: Tammy Pechac A student enters their laboratory setting and is getting ready to set up. What preparations should be made? (16 points) As a lab student I should be aware of my goal and reason for being in the lab, use my common sense, follow safety measures carefully and ask questions about things I am not sure of to avoid injury or compromising the lab exercise. I should be sure I have all necessary items to perform my experiment before beginning the lab to avoid leaving anything unattended. I should locate fire extinguishers, eyewash stations, phones, showers, and fire alarms and all other safety devices in the lab in case of trouble.
Also teachers need to make sure all the equipment the learners will be using during the course is safe for them to use. Ground Rules. When starting the course, a teacher should make sure they create a safe environment in the classroom: this means making sure everybody is comfortable with everybody else and nobody is trying to bully anyone. When working with adult learners it could be better to have ‘commonly agreed ground rules’ so they can agree with each point and find elements to discuss. This is good because when they get to decide the ground rules it’s more unlikely that they are going to break them.
Health and Safety should be introduced at the beginning of the session to learners. This discussion should include, Signing In, Fire Exits, First Aid, Welfare Facilities and a time to answer any questions the learners may have. The tutor should establish ground rules for the session It’s important that we know from the beginning what is fair to expect from each other. The rules should include, Attendance, Punctuality, respecting others opinions, do not speak over others, usage of mobile phones, zero tolerance on bullying, ensuring equality and diversity is adhered too, this will all be explained to each learner during their induction but should also be refreshed during sessions. Being well organised will also mean that the learners are constantly on task and not left without a meaningful activity to occupy them ensure any negative behaviour is nipped in the bud.
Unit Nine: Case Studies Assignment Nicole McDonald Kaplan Univeristy HS 100-08 Scenario #1 Do you think Mindy dresses appropriately for the medical facility? Why or why not? I do not think that Mindy dresses appropriately for the medical facility because she has face piercings that a person who works in a medical facility should not have. She also has multicolored hair which is a big no-no in most businesses. At my work, you are only allowed to have one different color besides your natural hair color (whether it is your natural hair color or dyed hair color).
Regularly do risk assessments so that they can minimise and identify any potential risk that could hard staff or service users. To make sure that I am safe at all times and I don’t put others at risk due to my actions. Make sure that we only do things that we are trained to do and the way that we have been trained to do so. Keep our training all up to date and make sure that we make note of any changes passed on by our manager. To make sure that all employees are health and safety trained and keeps them all up to date with any changes.
* By co-operating with their employer’s efforts to meet safety obligations under the legislation. * By being aware, and taking care of their own safety and acting in a way that does not place other employees at risk of injury or illness. * By consulting with employers on matters that relate to health and safety in the workplace (through and OHS committee as an example) and assisting to provide practical solution to WHS problems within the workplace. Implement workplace safety requirements Question 3 This is a research question. Safety signs are used in the community and in the workplace to ensure accidents are avoided at all costs.
We are a set up and take down setting so all equipment is checked over whilst doing this daily, anything broken or damaged is removed. When staff/volunteers have their induction training they are given a clear explanation of health and safety issues so that all adults are able to adhere to the policy and understand their shared responsibility for health and safety including manual handling and storage of potentially dangerous substances. As we are a morning session only, we try where possible not to have workers in the building when the setting is in operation, but if necessary the manager/supervisor will explain the health and safety procedures and a member of staff will stay with them throughout their stay and they are not allowed near the children. All visitors are to sign the visitor book on

Dressing appropriately and following laboratory safety rules will reduce the incidence and severity of accidents and help keep students safe. 1. Create a laboratory safety diagram in the space below by doing the following: a. Sketch the outline of your laboratory room including all doors and windows b. Mark and label the position of the following laboratory safety equipment.
