Subject: Industrial Arts
Grade Level: Grade 10
Objective:
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) procedures in industrial arts by identifying
workplace hazards, explaining safety protocols, and applying proper safety practices
while using tools and equipment in a simulated or actual workshop setting.
Students will be able to analyze the importance of Occupational Health and Safety
(OHS) procedures in preventing accidents and ensuring a safe working environment
by evaluating case scenarios and suggesting appropriate safety measures.
Learning within the curriculum:
1) Basic Principles of Electrical Safety: This lesson covers the identification of
electrical hazards in the workshop, explaining the proper use of electrical tools, and
understanding personal protective equipment (PPE) related to electrical work.
2) Using Hand Tools Safely: This lesson focuses on the safe handling and usage of
various hand tools, identifying potential hazards associated with their use, and the
importance of maintaining tools in good condition to prevent accidents.
Learning across the curriculum:
1) Health Education: Understanding the fundamentals of first aid and emergency
response in the event of workplace accidents. This knowledge is crucial for students
to respond effectively to injuries that may occur in a workshop setting.
2) Physical Education: Emphasizing the importance of physical fitness and
ergonomics in preventing workplace injuries. Educating students on maintaining
proper posture and techniques while using tools to minimize strain and injury.

safety measures.
Rubric
- Completeness of hazard identification - 5 pts.
- Relevance of suggested safety measures - 5 pts.
- Teamwork and collaboration - 5 pts.
Assessment Questions:
1) What hazards did your group identify?
2) What safety measures did you suggest?
3) How did your group work together to complete the task?
Activity 2: Safety Protocol Role-Play
[Teaching Strategy:] Problem-Based Learning
Materials - Case scenarios for each group
Significance - Students learn to apply OHS knowledge in real-life situations through
problem-solving.
Instructions -
1) Divide students into groups and give each group a case scenario involving a
safety incident.
2) Groups discuss the scenario and come up with a safety protocol plan to prevent
such incidents.
3) Groups present their protocols to the class.
Rubric
- Clarity of protocol presentation - 5 pts.
- Practicality of the proposed safety measures - 5 pts.
- Engagement during presentation - 5 pts.
Assessment Questions:
1) What was the safety incident in your scenario?
2) How does your protocol address the identified hazards?
3) Why is it important to have safety protocols in place?
Inclusive Activity 3: Safety Awareness Discussion
[Teaching Strategy:] Interactive Learning
Materials - None
Significance - Encourages all students to participate and share knowledge without
the need for physical materials.
Instructions -
1) Facilitate a class discussion on personal experiences related to safety in
workshops or other environments.
2) Encourage students to share stories of accidents or near misses and how they
could have been prevented.
3) Summarize key points and safety practices discussed.
Rubric
- Participation in discussion - 5 pts.
- Contribution of relevant experiences - 5 pts.
- Listening and respect for peers - 5 pts.
Assessment Questions:
1) What common themes did you notice in the shared experiences?
2) How can we apply these lessons in our workshop?
3) What personal safety practices will you adopt moving forward?
ANALYSIS:
Activity 1 - Students successfully identified various hazards and suggested relevant
safety measures, demonstrating their understanding of OHS procedures. This
connects to the main objective by reinforcing the identification and mitigation of risks
in the workshop environment.
Activity 2 - Through the role-play, students learned to analyze safety incidents and
create actionable protocols, enhancing their comprehension of safety measures.
This aligns with the objective of understanding OHS by evaluating real-life scenarios.
Activity 3 - The discussion allowed students to reflect on personal experiences,
fostering a deeper understanding of the importance of safety practices in preventing
accidents, which is directly linked to the lesson's objectives.
ABSTRACTION:
The objective emphasizes the critical role of Occupational Health and Safety
procedures in industrial arts, focusing on identifying hazards and implementing
safety measures. By engaging in practical activities and discussions, students
develop a comprehensive understanding of how to maintain a safe working
environment. This foundational knowledge is essential for fostering a culture of
safety in both academic and future professional settings.
Supporting Material 1 - "Occupational Health and Safety: A Guide for Students" -
This resource provides an overview of OHS principles, emphasizing the importance
of identifying hazards and applying safety protocols in various environments.
Supporting Material 2 - "Safety in the Workshop: Best Practices" - This material
outlines effective safety practices and protocols for students, focusing on practical
applications in workshop settings.
APPLICATION:
[Teaching Strategy:] Experiential Learning
Task 1 - Students will create a safety poster that highlights key OHS procedures and
regulations relevant to their workshop.
Task 2 - Students will conduct a mini-audit of their home workshop or community
center, identifying hazards and proposing safety improvements.
ASSESSMENT:
[Teaching Strategy:] Direct Instruction
[Instructional Materials:] Quiz materials
Question 1 - What are three common workplace hazards in an industrial arts setting?
Question 2 - Explain the importance of wearing personal protective equipment
(PPE).
Question 3 - How can proper tool maintenance contribute to workplace safety?
H.O.T.S.:
Question 1 - How would you prioritize safety measures in a workshop?
Answer 1 - Prioritization should focus on the most hazardous conditions first,
ensuring that the highest risks are addressed to prevent accidents.
Question 2 - Discuss the potential consequences of neglecting OHS procedures.
Answer 2 - Neglecting OHS procedures can lead to severe injuries, accidents, and
even fatalities, impacting not just individuals but the overall safety culture in the
workshop.
Question 3 - How can teamwork enhance safety in the workshop?
Answer 3 - Teamwork fosters communication and collaboration, allowing workers to
identify hazards and implement safety measures collectively, enhancing overall
safety awareness.
