This is an on-line version of the original print version of the Workplace health and safety: training resource kit (ARIS res. no. 969) which provides trainees with more flexibility when learning at the same time as gaining some computer and online experience. Most of the training exercises are click and drag tasks but there are some activities which require writing. Addressing an identified shortfall in relevant resources on occupational health and safety for teacher/trainers working with learners with limited English language and/or literacy skills, this package offers some excellent materials for the development of training around content relating to health and safety in the workplace. It has been designed as a self-access resource, incorporating workplace activities, listening tasks and writing exercises. The twelve topics covered include: - The safety law, - Health and hygiene, - Recognising safety hazards, - Hazardous substances, - Noise in the workplace, and Machine and equipment safety, - Personal protective equipment, - Manual handling and Working in confined spaces, - Emergency procedures, and Claims management and rehabilitation, The curriculum developers have obviously considered in detail, ways of building up the context and knowledge base of the learners, devising simple but effective pre-training survey questions, which enable the resource user to focus on particular aspects of health and safety relevant to them. The resource uses effective graphics to emphasise the points being made. The package was developed for use nationally, as well as for a specific group of learners at Bridgestone TG Australia.
