Introduction
This resource was compiled and created by the Halton District School Board
Technological Education teachers and board staff, including revisions and approval by
the HDSB Transportation Technology subject council.
The fundamental philosophy of broad-based technological education is that students

learn best by doing. That is why the technological education curriculum is designed to
be activity-based and project-driven. It is also why maintaining a safe learning
environment is critical to the success of the curriculum.
Technological education teachers play a key role in promoting safety and need to
encourage and motivate students to assume responsibility for their own safety and the
safety of others. Teachers must also ensure that students acquire the knowledge and
skills needed for safe participation in all technological activities. (The Ontario
Curriculum, Technological Education Grades 9-10-11-12, 2009). By doing so,
students will develop an attitude of safety mindedness, allowing them to work
responsibly with their peers in a technological education facility, recognize potential
hazards and take appropriate precautions to mitigate the risk of these hazards.
Health and safety is of paramount importance in technological education. In every

course, students must be made aware that health and safety is everyones
responsibility at home, at school, and in the workplace. Before using any piece of
equipment or any tool, students must be able to demonstrate knowledge of how the
equipment or tool works and of the procedures they must follow to ensure its safe use.
Personal protective gear must be worn as required. Teachers must make use of a wide
range of available and relevant resources to make students sufficiently aware of the
importance of health and safety.
The expectation is that each student in our classrooms reviews the safety rules for each
piece of equipment and process that they will use in that classroom and pass the
required safety test, which is then documented using the Safety Passport at the end of
this document.
Student Safety Rules in a Technological

Education Facility
1. Always listen to and follow instructions. Do not operate
machinery unless you have the teachers permission. This
will help prevent accidents.
2
2. Always act sensibly in the technological education facility. This will prevent injury,
improper use of equipment, spillages and breakages.
3. Report all accidents, spills and breakages immediately to your teacher. This will
prevent any further damage or injury.
4. Keep the technological education facility clear of coats and bags, including:
desks, tables and floor. This will prevent accidents caused by tripping.
5. Always keep the technological education facility and your work area clean and
tidy, and put tools and materials away. This will prevent accidents.
6. Never eat or drink in any technological education facility. This will prevent
infections, accidents and disease.
7. When using any tools and equipment, make sure long hair is tied back , jewelry is
removed and loose clothing tucked in to keep it away from the rotating machine
parts. This includes not wearing gloves when using machines with rotating parts.
This will prevent personal injury.
8. Always wear the appropriate supplied personal protective equipment (PPE) (i.e.
safety glasses, hearing protection, etc.) when required. This will reduce the risk
of injury.
9. Never attempt to handle or use broken tools or broken equipment. Alert the
teacher immediately. This will prevent injury to yourself and others.
10. If any chemical gets on your hands, or on any other part of your body, inform
teacher and wash it off immediately.
11. Everything has a proper storage location. If you dont know where it is, please
ask. If you do know, put it back.
12. Never block fire exits, fire alarm pulls, doorways, aisles, and electrical power
emergency shutoffs of machine switches for any reason at any time.
13. Never make adjustments to equipment or guards without your teachers

permission.
AT ALL TIMES, IF IN DOUBT,

SEE YOUR TEACHER
I have read and agree to the above rules for Student Safety and will follow these rules
and procedures at all times.

15
Axle Stands
1. ALWAYS use the appropriate axle stands when working under a car.
2. Make sure that they are marked with a Safe Working Load. The bigger the
number, the more weight that the stand can hold up securely. Ensure that you
are using the appropriate axle stands for the gross total weight of the vehicle
you are working on.
3. Ensure that each of the axle stands are placed on firm level ground. They should
be correctly adjusted to securely hold the weight of the vehicle.
4. Never jack up a single side of a vehicle and then allow one driven wheel to
rotate under the power of the engine. If the vehicle is fitted with a limited slip
differential, the stand will not be able to support the weight of the vehicle safely.
5. Identifying the size and shape of the saddle is essential to selecting the correct
axle stands. A cupped design provides additional stability compared to a flat
that a vehicle can easily slide off. Ensure that the cup is not too deep, as it can
lead to damaging the upper edges of the underside of the vehicle. An iron
saddle is another plus point, as it tends to be kinder to the vehicle than steel.
6. The feet on each leg of the axle stand should spread the load of the vehicle and
is another factor to consider when selecting the most appropriate axle stands.
This will prevent the stand from digging into the floor.

to give workers the right to know what they are handling. Federal WHMIS regulations
apply to importers, manufactures, and suppliers of hazardous materials. The
Hazardous Products Act for controlled products states that national suppliers are to
provide labels and Material Safety Data Sheets to all buyers.
Material Safety Data Sheets
MSDS stands for Material Safety Data Sheets. MSDS is a print out that identifies how
to handle, store, use, health effects if exposed, emergency procedures, and protective
measures and must be updated by the supplier every 3 years. Under the Occupational
Health and Safety Act in Ontario, employers are to make sure that all hazardous
materials are labeled appropriately and that a MSDS sheet accompanies the product.
On any controlled hazardous product, two labels must be properly labeled with a
supplier and a workplace sticker.
Supplier labels must be attached to the controlled product container which has
detailed information about the product. Legislation states that 10 kg or more of a
controlled product or hazardous material from a supplier must contain the following
information:
both official languages
have a WHMIS border
identifies the material or product name (i.e. common name, chemical name, trade
name, generic name, brand name, code name or number)
name and address of the supplier
reference to a MSDS sheet
WHMIS hazard symbols
In addition to this and if the container has more than 100 milliliters the following
information must be on the label:
risk time factors
precautionary measures while using or being exposed to the product/chemical
First aid measures to address immediate injuries and progressive illnesses
Workplace labels must be identified on a container that is not from the supplier, and must
contain the following information:
material identifier or product name

reference to a MSDS sheet
