6 Industrial committees, whose members are actively engaged in these occupations and who represent a major part of trade and industrial EDUCATION in the state of Washington, have validated this SAFETY GUIDE . CAREER and TECHNICAL EDUCATION program course objectives should prepare students to meet these SAFETY standards. Workers meeting these standards, as established by industry, will have the best SAFETY record in the world of work. This document is solely for informational purposes.

Section 1 Page 5 INTRODUCTION The SAFETY mistakes a student/technician/instructor makes today could have future ramifications both personally and environmentally.

7 This GUIDE is designed to help instructors/teachers instill SAFETY awareness in their students. It is also intended to alert the school district staff to their areas of responsibility and, at the same time, to reduce accidents and exposure to litigation. Effective SAFETY awareness EDUCATION leads to safer attitudes and SAFETY consciousness, which, in turn, lead to safer working practices and accident prevention within the CTE laboratory. The task of overcoming the it can t happen to me attitude is a big one and requires that SAFETY awareness be an integral part of the every day instruction program. In addition to the traditional SAFETY point of view in both personal and area SAFETY , new emphasis should be considered in COMPONENT SAFETY , in that new, sophisticated, and computerized equipment must be well cared for because of high replacement costs. One will find that safe operators that save people will also save equipment.

8 A more recently recognized SAFETY problem concerns hazardous waste and hazardous waste disposal. An unsafe act today could have serious effects years from now. SAFETY consciousness requires that the student be educated in SAFETY generally and specifically. The teacher, in working to develop a positive attitude toward SAFETY , should teach the student to ask Is what I am about to do unsafe in any way to myself, to others, or to property? It is essential that the instructional methods lend themselves to positive SAFETY attitude development. This includes (1) a clean and orderly working environment, (2) the awareness of possible accident situations where respect replaces fear, (3) the importance of rules and regulations, (4) the necessity to teach the correct way to perform the first time, (5) the knowledge and skills in the use and the proper maintenance of tools and machines, (6) the reinforcement of safe operating procedures, and (7) proper respect for hazardous wastes and hazardous waste disposal.

9 The SAFETY GUIDE for CAREER and TECHNICAL EDUCATION (CTE) is developed by participation from industry representatives who represent Washington Industrial SAFETY and Health Act (Labor and Industries/ WISHA), Department of Health (DOH), Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), and CTE advisory committee. We encourage all users of the GUIDE to recognize that the practices specified or recommended include some that are already required by code or law and others that are recommendations, which may help promote SAFETY practices in Washington State. Please report any information that may be used to update and improve the SAFETY GUIDE to OSPI. Section 1 Page 6 Student participation greatly increases the effectiveness of any SAFETY EDUCATION program. Students should be actively involved in planning and presenting programs and demonstrations that involve the subject of SAFETY as well as the care and maintenance of tools and machines.
