Activity 1
Watch this video and write a summary of the video in 1 paragraph which includes the 5 points below. I'm looking for what connection you can make between the video and what you've learned about your rights and responsibilities in terms of safety as a worker in Canada.
1) What the incident that occurred was
2) What Clera did wrong (regarding working a new machine)
3) What Clera should have done
4) Your rights and responsibility for safe work in Canada
5) How the video made you feel overall
-------
According with this video, we saw an incident that occurred was unreasonable. Clera, as a new worker, hadn't been trained before she operated that machine. She wanted to do that just because of seeing some people how to use it. The supervisor should check up before he agreed. In Canada your rights and responsibility for safe include: Be trained before work. You can't lose your job because you refuse the danger work. You should report the supevisor if you know some people under the unsafe situation. I feel that everybody should look at this video seriously and carefully. All rules are written by the blood of victims.
Activity 2
Watch this video and answer the following questions:
1) Does the worker know that there are hazardous materials around him - Yes/No?
2) What category does the hazardous material fall under?
3) Using this image (click here), what are some basic handling procedures for the category you chose in question 2.
3) Was it wrong for the boss to rip up the employee's suggestion to get safety cabinets? Why or why not?
4) How did the employee make his workplace a safer place to work?
According with this video, we can find two consequences after the incident occurred. The worker knew that there were hazardous materials around him. When his boss ripped up his suggestion to get safety cabinets, he should assert it or just refuse his job. He dragged himself in such a miserable situation. On the other hand, his boss made a big mistake and convicted guilty because it is his responsibility to make his workplace a safer place to work.
WHMIS stands for workplace hazardous materials information system. The purpose of WHMIS is to reduce injuries or diseases caused by exposure to hazardous materials used in the workplace. All hazardous materials must have a supplier label or a workplace label on the container. Whenever a label is missing or damaged, the employee must tell a supervisor so that a new label can be made. Some information about labela:
- Supplier labels have a border that looks like this one.
- The dangers of working with the hazardous material are described.
- What to do if someone is injured,(First Aid).
