SCSA Design and Technologies (Years 7–8 band): Technologies and society — social, ethical and sustainability considerations in designed solutions (ACTDEK029, ACTDEK030); Materials and technologies specialisations — characteristics and properties of materials, tools and equipment (ACTDEK031, ACTDEK034).
Aboriginal Cultural Standards Framework: Teaching and Environments — respectful, culturally safe practices and routines in the workshop.
Focus: Rules, hazards, PPE selection, and safe behaviour in shared spaces.
Workshop safety keeps everyone protected while we learn and create. We identify hazards, follow rules, and use personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses, hearing protection, and closed shoes. Clear instructions and respectful behaviour help prevent injuries.
Before using tools, we check that they are in good condition and set up correctly. We tie back hair, remove jewellery, and keep workspaces clean. These habits support safe, inclusive learning for everyone.
Safety also means looking out for others and reporting problems. We care for our shared environment by turning off machines properly and storing materials safely.
