Unit V Assignment

In Unit IV, you completed a safety and health training assessment for one of Carter’s departments, and
you established training goals and objectives for a specific training topic. In this assignment, we will
develop a lesson plan for presenting the topic to the workers. This assignment provides you with an
opportunity to demonstrate the following course learning outcome:

3. Develop strategies for communicating safety and health training in the workplace.

Review Carter’s case from the Unit I Assignment, follow the instructions below before completing each
exercise, save all of your work to this template, and submit it in Blackboard for grading.

Instructions for completing the assignment: Using the goals and objectives worksheet you submitted as a
part of the Unit IV Assignment, complete a series of exercises (Exercises 5.1 through 5.7) to develop a
lesson plan that will meet the course objectives identified for your selected topic.

Exercise 5.1: A lesson plan often includes some sort of reading assignment. For this exercise, identify at
least two sources from the CSU Online Library that you would have your attendees read for the training.
Please format each source using APA style.

The following sources provide comprehensive overviews of fire safety management, and the sources of
risk, uncertainty and hazards in industrial manufacturing contexts.

Exercise 5.2: With at least 75 words, provide a brief description of the location where the training will
take place.

The welding department needs to be trained in the relevant CFR standards, namely fire protection
measures, fire brigades, portable fire extinguishers, standpipe and hose systems, fixed extinguishing
systems, fire detection systems and employee alarm systems. Given this context, it is important for
training to occur in a place that can support both theory-based classroom instruction and practice-based
practicum components. For the theory-based classroom instruction component, the courses should be
conducted in the company's basic meeting room with the help of audio-visual documentaries on fire
safety and small group discussions to promote peer learning and interactivity. Then, the hands-on
demonstrations of fire extinguishing equipment and fire detection systems should be implemented on the
welding shopfloor, which has a gross square foot size of 2000 square feet. Appropriate safety distancing
buffers should be implemented on the shopfloor for practical elements.

Exercise 5.3: With at least 50 words, provide a somewhat detailed description of who should conduct the
training. What type of trainer do you want? What type of qualifications should the trainer have? What
else do you want in a trainer?

The trainer should be qualified with a minimum of an ISO 45001 certification or associated OSHA
qualification standard, and be trained in the implementation and management of an OSHA certified

program with respect to the Standard for Fire Prevention in Use of Cutting and Welding Processes, NFPA
Standard 51B,1962. The instructor should be well equipped to discuss the role of fire extinguishers, fire
watchers, personal protective equipment and guards, and be able to train workers in identifying
combustible materials, welding risks and unsafe practices. The instructor should also be able to engage
the workers in an effective manner through the use of audiovisual documentaries and small-group
discussions, and be able to convince workers of the importance and relevance of following key safety
procedures on the shopfloor to prevent workplace safety breaches and fire incidents. The trainer should
also be personable and lively.

Fire safety competency for fire detection, hazard
identification, fire extinguishing devices and personal
protection equipment for company welders, according
to the standards in 29 CFR 1910.155 (Fire Protection).
90 minutes
a. Given the principles of fire detection and alarm
systems, and the hands-on training in the operation of
such fire detection and alarm systems, the supervisors
and welding team will be able to effectively enact an
evacuation from an accurate fire detection to promote
safe escape from a fire hazard, in 15 minutes according
to fire detection and evacuation guidelines.
b. Given the principles of fire extinguishing equipment,
the trainees will be able to operate a portable fire
extinguisher, standpipe and hose system to effectively
contain a fire outbreak, based on the 29 CFR 1910
standards for the operation of equipment related to fire
extinguishing, standpipe and hose systems.
c. Given the principles of personal safety and
protection, the trainees will be able to articulate why,
when and how to use personal protection equipment to
ensure the safety of themselves and their colleagues,
according to the standards in 29 CFR 1910.155 (Fire
Protection).
d. Trainees should be able to appreciate the relevance
of fire detection, extinguishing and personal protective
equipment systems to operational health and safety in
the context of welding operations.
The lesson will comprise the following components:
1. Introduction to fire detection, extinguishing and
personal protective equipment systems for welders:
This introduction will be delivered via an audio visual
commentary for 10 minutes, and trainees will be asked
to reflect and discuss it in a large group setting for 5
minutes.
2. Hazards and risks from ultra-high temperature
welding operations (10 minutes)
3. Operation of fire extinguishing systems: fire
extinguishers, standpipe and hose systems, fixed
extinguishing systems (10 minutes)
4. Safe operation of welding equipment to prevent fires
(10 minutes)
5. Hazard identification, fire detection systems and
employee alarm systems (10 minutes)

Exercise 5.5: Next, draft a classroom or workplace activity that involves peer learning.

Activity 1
Name of the activity: Small group discussion on best practices for safe
operation of welding equipment to prevent fire hazards
and risks.
Expected length of activity (Time): 10 minutes
List relevant learning objective(s): 1. Trainees should be able to discuss how to use
personal protective equipment, proper welding
equipment techniques and fire detection systems in the
operation of welding equipment to prevent fire hazards
and risks.
2. Trainees should be able to reflect on previous safety
breaches and pitfalls which led to fire-related incidents
and injuries
Provide a brief description of the activity, Students would be broken into groups of five to play
including how students would participate, how around with personal protective equipment and fire
students would interact, how the trainer would detection systems on their own, and to discuss the role
prepare, what type of equipment is required, of these systems for safe operation of welding
and the knowledge or skill gained: equipment to prevent fire hazards and risks.

This group works best with kinesthetic and

demonstration-based learning, and expects training to
be efficient and relevant to their needs. Hence, hands
on discussion and reflection on potential fire hazards
that the group has encountered would contextualize
learning to be relevant to the needs of the learner
group.

Exercise 5.6: This exercise involves drafting two additional activities that you would like to include as a
part of the training.

Activity 2
Name of the activity: Introduction and discussion for fire detection,
extinguishing and personal protective equipment
systems for welders
Expected length of activity (Time): 15 minutes
List relevant learning objective(s):
Provide a brief description of the activity, This introduction will be delivered via an audio visual
including how students would participate, how commentary for 10 minutes, and trainees will be asked

Page 4 of 5
students would interact, how the trainer would
prepare, what type of equipment is required,
and the knowledge or skill gained:
to reflect and discuss it in a large group setting for 5
minutes. Workers will be encouraged to think of what
worked and did not work in the context of their
previous experiences with safety management on the
welding shopfloor, and how their processes on the
shopfloor can be optimised for safety based on the
principles outlined in the video.

Activity 3
Name of the activity: Practical demonstration and assessment of use of
portable fire extinguisher, standpipe and hose system to
effectively contain a fire outbreak on welding
shopfloor
Expected length of activity (Time): 30 minutes
List relevant learning objective(s): Given the principles of fire extinguishing equipment,
the trainees will be able to operate a portable fire
extinguisher, standpipe and hose system to effectively
contain a fire outbreak, based on the 29 CFR 1910
standards for the operation of equipment related to fire
extinguishing, standpipe and hose systems.
Provide a brief description of the activity, Trainees will be split into groups of four and told to
including how students would participate, how simulate a fire outbreak. Trainees will have to simulate
students would interact, how the trainer would the cause of the fire outbreak (ie. combustible material
prepare, what type of equipment is required, ignition, oxygen leak, etc.) and practice operating the
and the knowledge or skill gained: fire detection and extinguishing systems in real time to
contain the outbreak.

Exercise 5.7: Describe how you would document who attended the training. Your response should be at
least 100 words.

The attendees of this training session would be documented through the electronic employee records
system. This would allow the organization to methodically and systematically track employee completion
of the program, and to record the competency scores achieved by individual workers in the practical
assessment training on the course shopfloor in operation of fire alarm systems, fire extinguishing systems,
fire extinguishers, and standpipe and hose systems. Attendance will be taken at the start, middle and end
of training to ensure that employees attended the full training. A survey will also be issued at the end of
the training to collect employee responses and feedback on the effectiveness of the training session, in
order to optimize the approach for future training sessions.
