Occupational Health and Safety.
= = =How does it effect us ? = = OHS was introduced in Australia as early as 1989 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) refers to the legislation, policies, procedures and activity that aim to protect the health and safety of workers. Occupational health and safety ensures the safety of Australia's workers by providing them with correct work wear such as goggles, safety boots and hats. This work wear protects the workers in several different ways, without it the work force will be a much more dangerous and life threatening place to be. =

= = Dear Editor, Through the past week my group consisted of Jordan Stevens, Emma Blakeney, Matthew Lynch and myself Luke Phillips. We worked hard on our presentation about Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) at Emmaus Catholic College. At the start of the week we chose our topic and our main focus question “How does Occupational Health and Safety effect us?” We made our mind map about what we were going to write our presentation about. On Monday we were introduced to our group and chose our topic. Originally we had chosen Energy Drinks and how dangerous they are but we couldn’t get enough information to support this so we decided to change it to OHS. On Tuesday we drew up our mind map with ideas and gathered information to put in our presentation. Wednesday was the day we started making our key note presentation. We made a rough design to demonstrate how we were going to have our presentation and to guide us through with ideas. Also on Wednesday Jordan, Emma and Matt went for a little walk around the school to take photos of possible hazards around the college. They collected a series of images that could be a risk to students or teachers health and safety. On Thursday we put the images into a slide with a little bit of information to explain how this act could be dangerous or could cause serious injuries. On Friday we finished off our key note presentation and made the final decisions with slide transition, music, and added or deleted any unnecessary information or images. We hope our presentation showed you how much of a big impact Occupational Health and Safety has on us in our daily lives and how it’s their to protect us. OHS is very important and without it the school wouldn’t be a safe place for us. Thank you, Luke Phillips.. xx
