Activity
Make walkthorughs of your shops and lab areas a regular part of your work. Observing students in the shop environment can shed light on safety protocols that might be lacking or not fully implemented. CHecking the shop areas when they are empty at the end of the day can also provide you with important insights into how the shop is maintained and if there are any safety concerns that need to be addressed.
It is imperative that shop safety is your number one priority. ocassionaly otherissues or deadlines become a focus for projects or activities, it is never more important to get things done in a timely manner, it is ALWAYS more important to have them done safely. You got to have eyes in the backmof your head, and ears that are tuned in to your environment. Safety First!
Safety first is more than a catch phrase in the CTE classsroom. We are exposing students ot potentially hazardous situations constantly in the lab environment, so we must pay very close attention to how we operate tools and equipment in the presence of students, and the need for proper orientation and checkoff procedures for working in our shops.
