Instruction for Safety Presentations

1. Each individual or small group (2 students) is required to create a set of notes on PowerPoint about one of the dangers listed in the chart.

• Your presentation should consider;
  • content -
    • sources of the danger - should be presented with emphasis on sources within the classroom, and sources which occur in everyday life (school, home) and working life which may or may not not be readily apparent. What do we look for to identify these dangers?
    • avoidance of the danger - should be presented with emphasis on safety equipment (available and to be used) and safety practice within the classroom.
    • emergency procedures - For emergency procedures list examples of things to do in event of an emergency. (This course is not intended to be a substitute for a complete first aid course. In some cases under emergency procedures "apply first aid" will be filled in. Students are encouraged to take a first aid course when possible.)
  • organization -
    • a presentation should have a beginning (introduction, to let the audience know what the presentation will be about and why it is important to them), body (your main points) and an end (conclusion, or summary of main points)
    • the presentation should have a logical flow
  • style - (interest, enthusiasm, approach)
    • the presentation should be eye-catching without being an eye-sore.
  • timing -
    • make sure that the presentation isn't too long.
    • reduce redundancies, be succinct.
  • technique -
    • students in a group should both be involved with the presentation

The PowerPoint presentation shall demonstrate the following skills (at the least);

• 4 slides
  • title
  • sources
  • avoidance / prevention
  • emergency procedures
• 3 transitions
• 3 bullets
• 2 graphics
