200 Safety:
The purpose of this section is to ensure that students understand and follow the key safety protocols and regulations related to the use of hardware, software, equipment, and materials commonly used in the creative industries. Through a variety of learning activities, including lectures, examples, study guides, guided practices, and student resources, the students will learn about the principles and practices of ergonomic safety, proper handling, storage, and maintenance of hardware, software, and equipment, and the safe use of hand tools and cutting procedures. They will also investigate the regulations related to the use, storage, and disposal of paints, solvents, and chemicals, as well as the hazard communication, environmental, and SDS laws relevant to the industry. By the end of this section, the students will be able to identify potential hazards, develop and apply effective safety protocols and procedures, and promote a culture of safety and well-being in their work environment to an industry portfolio level.
Tasks:
201 - Identify safety protocols related to ergonomics.
Provided with multiple lectures, examples, study guides, guided practices, and student resources, the students will demonstrate an understanding of the key safety protocols related to ergonomics, including proper posture, workstation setup, and equipment usage, and will be able to apply this knowledge to design workspaces that promote ergonomic safety and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders to an industry portfolio level.
202 - Follow safety requirements for use of hardware, software, and equipment.
Provided with multiple lectures, examples, study guides, guided practices, and student resources, the students will demonstrate an understanding of the safety requirements for the use of hardware, software, and equipment commonly used in the creative industries, including proper handling, storage, and maintenance procedures, and will be able to follow these requirements to ensure the safety of themselves and others when using these tools to an industry portfolio level.
203 - Use and maintain hand tools following established safety protocols.
Provided with multiple lectures, examples, study guides, guided practices, and student resources, the students will demonstrate an understanding of the proper usage and maintenance of hand tools commonly used in the creative industries, including saws, chisels, hammers, and screwdrivers, and will be able to follow established safety protocols to ensure their own safety and the safety of others when using these tools to an industry portfolio level.
204 - Use, store, and dispose of paints, solvents, and chemicals according to OSHA regulations.
Provided with multiple lectures, examples, study guides, guided practices, and student resources, the students will demonstrate an understanding of the OSHA regulations related to the use, storage, and disposal of paints, solvents, and other chemicals commonly used in the creative industries, and will be able to apply this knowledge to use, store, and dispose of these materials safely and in compliance with OSHA regulations to an industry portfolio level.
205 - Demonstrate cutting procedures following established safety protocols.
Provided with multiple lectures, examples, study guides, guided practices, and student resources, the students will demonstrate an understanding of the proper cutting procedures and safety protocols for using cutting tools such as scissors, knives, and rotary cutters in the creative industries, and will be able to demonstrate these procedures safely and effectively to an industry portfolio level.
206 - Investigate hazard communication, environmental, and SDS laws.
Provided with multiple lectures, examples, study guides, guided practices, and student resources, the students will investigate the hazard communication, environmental, and SDS laws and regulations relevant to the creative industries, including OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, the EPA's Environmental Regulations, and the requirements for Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and will be able to apply this knowledge to identify potential hazards and develop effective safety protocols and procedures to ensure compliance with these regulations to an industry portfolio level.
