These documents give information on how to develop sustainable energy projects with you students.
This detailed Saskatchewan OH&S document (1996) outlines all occupational health and safety regulations for the province.
This document gives information on the details and uses of this metal fabricator.
PAA - Under Water Welding
The VRTEX® systems are virtual reality arc welding training simulators. These computer based training systems are educational tools designed to supplement and enhance traditional welding training. They allow students to practice their welding technique in a simulated and immersive environment. The VRTEX® systems promote the efficient transfer of quality welding skills and body positioning to the welding booth while reducing material waste associated with traditional welding training. The combination of realistic puddle, arc welding sound, and real time feedback tied to the welder’s movement provides an exciting, hands-on training experience.
This document provides details and ordering information on the VRTEX® 360.
The following resources are for Acetylene in PAA Welding.
The following is a document on hazards of electric shock in the workplace.
The following document includes safety with foot protection while welding.
This file contains an extensive alphabetical glossary of welding terms. There is one document per letter of the alphabet, as well as one comprehensive document intended to be a classroom resource.
The use of welding products and equipment in the welding process causes emission of fumes. Many, if not most, of these fumes contain manganese. A small amount of manganese is necessary for the human body to remain healthy. However, too much manganese can cause serious medical problems.
These two documents explain, in detail, the signs and symptoms of the exposure of too much manganese in welding. The toxicity of manganese causes a progressive condition, referred to as Manganism (also known as manganese poisoning, maganese-induced parkinsonism, and manganese intoxication).
The following is a pocket risk assessment for students to fill out before doing a task that helps establish the possible hazards, solutions, etc.
This document outlines the safety procedures, diagrams and other important operating tips for using the Powermax 45 Plasma Cutter.
The following document has question and answers referring to:
Hazards of Electric Shock
Primary Electric Shock
Secondary Electric Shock
Safe Work Practices
Electrically Hazardous Areas
This document outlines the safety considerations necessary for welding on containers that may have previously contained flammable or combustible materials.
This document describes what plasma is and how it cuts through metal.
This is meant to give insight into our process to help with your school's brainstorming process. There are so many different ways to take project-based learning and we have been experimenting with a few of them.
This video outlines the importance of using eye protection when working. It outlines the most common activities when eye injuries happen. This video would be helpful in a PAA class when learning about worker safety or in the farm safety sections of agriculture-related courses.
The GotSafety Youtube channel also offers these videos in Spanish.
In this video, common types of PPE are tested to see how they can protect from projectiles, falling objects, and other possible hazards. This is an entertaining take on Personal Protective Equipment and how it protects people.
Student groups are challenged to create food packages for specific foods. They focus on three components in the design of their food packages; the packages must keep the food clean, protect or aid in the physical and chemical changes that can take place in the food, and present the food appealingly. They design their packaging to meet these requirements.
Did you know that the largest, most massive T. rex fossil in the world was found in Saskatchewan? Or that the first dinosaur fossil was found in what is now the East Block of Grasslands National Park?
Wes Long and Dr. Ryan C. McKellar of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum discuss paleontology in the province.
