Health and Safety Accreditation What are the risks? Am I at risk?

Health and Safety AccreditationWhat are the
risks? Am I at risk?

• Probably more than you are aware of but less so
  if you act than if you dont
• Being able to demonstrate you are actively
  following a scheme is really all the defence you
  need
• You may need to be able to demonstrate good
  practice can good practice raise standards?
• HSE Active
• Fines are heavier
• Insurance is higher expectations are greater
• Negligence
• Litigation
• LEA Policy on risk assessment

2
RDTHSC conference Feb 2003

• The desire for a standard system of training and
  accreditation
• The cost of accreditation - which at present is a
  disincentive to register
• No alterations of standards
• Compliance with NC requirements
• Current picture of trained teachers?

ACCREDITATION PROCESS
Teacher/technician with no health and safety
knowledge
Teacher/technician with limited health and safety
knowledge
Complete Health Safety Audit - Form A
Experienced teacher/technician with considerable
health and safety knowledge
RDTHSC supported by Core Training Manual. Set
tasks for accreditation
CORE LEVEL TRAINING 3 hours face to face course
or school based addressing 43 statements Outcome
Certificate of attendance
Possible pre-visit by RDTHSC to identify remedial
action on machinery and to plan training
FAST TRACK Evidence of certification / knowledge
/ understanding Outcome acceptable
certification of previous training returned to
RDTHSC
SPECIALIST LEVEL TRAINING Where necessary on
specific equipment / machinery (Includes Basic
Food Hygiene Certificate) Conducted by
HEI/HOD/Adviser/ RDTHSC etc. Outcome trainee
reviews training audit (included in Portfolio).
Portfolio returned to RDTHSC
SPECIALIST LEVEL TRAINING On specific
equipment/machinery (includes Basic Food Hygiene
Certificate) Conducted by HEI/HOD/Adviser/ RDTHSC
etc Outcome trainee completes a training audit
(included in Portfolio). Portfolio returned to
RDTHSC
Some training could be distance learning/on-line
CORE SPECIALIST LEVEL FOR 4 AREAS
ACCREDITATION AND CERTIFICATION School
based Conducted by RDTHSC (recommended rather
than by HOD/HT) 30-40 minute interview with
HOD 15-20 minutes/machine with all staff
presentQA with demonstration by trainees as
appropriate. Feedback on Portfolio of Evidence
Outcome core and specialist levels signed off
on accreditation application form
Need to include guidance on what demos
RDTHSC should ask for
FAST TRACK Evidence of certification / knowledge/
understanding Refresher/interview can be
conducted at same time as specialist level
interviews (see above
SPECIALIST EXTENSION LEVEL TRAINING (NB only
applies to Resistant Material areas at
present) on specific equipment/machinery (S1-S8
see p36 Guide for Consultants, Trainers and
Teachers for HS in Design Technology) as
needed Conducted by appropriately trained
RDTHSC/HEI/etc Training must be in accordance
with DATA/NAAIDT guidance (Guide for
Consultants, Training and Teachers for H S in
Design and Technology)
Other materials (e.g. Sunderland University
CDROM) could be used to support this level of
training Also includes Advanced Food Hygiene
Certificate
SPECIALIST EXTENSION LEVEL ACCREDITATION
CERTIFICATION Completed by RDTHSC on successful
completion of training or submission of
appropriate certification. (Recommended that
this is also carried out by RDTHSC for staff with
existing certification rather than HT, employer
etc) Outcome specialist extension levels

PREPARING THE PORTFOLIO OF EVIDENCEFOR
ACCREDITATION (Core Level)

• A REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
• Complete the questions provided
• B RISK ASSESSMENT
• Complete a risk assessment form for a specific
  piece of machinery/equipment in your
  workshop/studio
• C ENVIRONMENT
• Annotate a photograph or a sketch of your working
  area highlighting key features that demonstrate
  aspects of a safe working environment

PREPARING THE PORTFOLIO OF EVIDENCEFOR
ACCREDITATION (Core Level)

• D TEACHING STRATEGIES
• Produce an example of a short/medium term plan to
  highlight how HS references are incorporated
  into your scheme of work
• E EQUIPMENT, PROCESSES, TOOLS, MATERIALS AND
  COMPONENTS
• Produce a record of a portable electrical test
  carried out on a piece(s) of equipment from your
  working area.

PREPARING THE DEMONSTRATION FOR ACCREDITATION
(CoreSpec. Level)

• MATERIALS AND COMPONENT
• EQUIPMENT, PROCESSES AND TOOLS
• SEE SET TASKS

Why a Portfolio of Evidence?

• Protection!
• Secure form of Assessment
• Time to prepare demo for accreditation
• Demonstrates good practise
• CPD - demonstrates core training
• Relevance to teaching
• Active record
