Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 28 - EDUCATION › Part CXXXIII - Bulletin 1674 - Safety Manual for Career and Technical Education Programs › Chapter 1 - Introduction › Section CXXXIII-101 - Purpose

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Rapid changes
				are occurring in our world and economy. The increasing complexity of work that
				spans the entire work force of today's society demands that education for all
				students be made more relevant and useful to future careers.
B. To prepare Louisiana Agricultural
				Education, Technology Education and Trade and Industrial Education Students to
				meet the demands of society and the workplace in the twenty-first century,
				industry-based certification standards were developed to address content
				knowledge and the application of skills. These standards focus on what students
				should know, be able to do, and be able to demonstrate in the workplace. They
				promote and develop critical thinking processes, which students will use in the
				classroom and real work applications, address the diversity of educational
				needs of Louisiana students enrolled in Career and Technical Education courses,
				and address industry-based certification programs for employability. This must
				be accomplished in a safe environment.
C. The Safety Manual for Career and Technical
				Programs was written to fulfill the need for an up-to-date industry-based
				practical educational resource that focuses upon the needs of teachers,
				supervisors, and students involved in laboratory instruction at the secondary
				level in Louisiana public schools. It is also intended for use in:
1. universities;
2. career centers;
3. high schools; and
4. junior high school career and technical
				education laboratories.
Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 28 - EDUCATION › Part CXXXIII - Bulletin 1674 - Safety Manual for Career and Technical Education Programs › Chapter 1 - Introduction › Section CXXXIII-103 - Intended Audience

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. The Safety
				Manual for Career and Technical Programs is intended for a broad audience,
				including agriculture, technology, trade and industrial education teachers,
				parents, school and district administrators, school board members, policy
				makers, Louisiana Department of Education staff, college/university
				faculty/administrators, business/industry leaders, and government agency staff.
				The framework serves as a guide for safety curriculum and instruction, and as a
				general reference "checklist" to the safety and health concepts and skills
				taught and adhered to within Louisiana career and technical education courses.
				The intended users of the framework include:
1. career and technical education teachers to
				use in planning curriculum, instruction, and assessment;
2. parents to use as a means of assessing the
				safety and effectiveness of their children's career and technical
				laboratories;
3. school and
				district administrators and school board members to use as a vision for safety
				and health education and a basis for planning resource allocations, materials
				purchases, local curriculum development, teachers' professional development,
				and faculty recruitment;
4. policy
				makers and state education staff to use as a basis for:
a. developing and obeying laws;
b. health and safety policies;
c. professional development activities and
				materials;
d. assessment
				strategies; and
e. funding
				priorities to support local program development;
5. university faculty and administrators to
				use as a basis for the content and design of pre-service and in-service teacher
				education programs regarding safety and health instruction;
6. business/industry leaders and government
				agency staff to use as a basis for developing effective partnerships for
				supporting safety and health education programs and professional

Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 28 - EDUCATION › Part CXXXIII - Bulletin 1674 - Safety Manual for Career and Technical Education Programs › Chapter 3 - Elements of a Successful Safety, Health and Environment Program › Section CXXXIII-301 - Overview

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. The key to
				preventing harm to school employees, students, and the environment is to
				establish a good occupational safety, health, and environmental
				program.
B. A good program may take
				years to put in place, but the guidelines below are a good place to begin.
				Start with individual items or parts of items. The guidelines are divided into
				five sections:
1. identify and prioritize
				potential hazards;
2. eliminate,
				prevent, and control hazards;
3.
				train employees, students, and management;
4. assure management commitment;
5. assure employee and student involvement:
a. the occupational safety, health, and
				environmental safety program should be tailored to the needs of the school,
				department, or school system. Small schools with limited resources may form
				safety and health cooperatives with other schools to help manage all or parts
				of their programs.

Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 28 - EDUCATION › Part CXXXIII - Bulletin 1674 - Safety Manual for Career and Technical Education Programs › Chapter 5 - Curriculum Content › Section CXXXIII-501 - Introduction

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Career and
				technical instruction is important not only for the knowledge and skills it
				provides for the learner but, perhaps even more so, for the attitudes it
				imparts to the learner. These attitudes will, in large part, influence the
				manner in which the learner will employ his/her newly gained knowledge and
				skills. They become a formidable influence for the remainder of the learner's
				life.

Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 28 - EDUCATION › Part CXXXIII - Bulletin 1674 - Safety Manual for Career and Technical Education Programs › Chapter 5 - Curriculum Content › Section CXXXIII-503 - Two-Fold Objective

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. One of the
				most important attitudes a young person can pick up is a healthy respect for
				safety and health on the job. This attitude affects not only the learner, but
				all of the others with whom he/she will associate. Someday their very lives may
				depend on having assumed a deep-seated conviction that the only way to do a job
				is the safe way. Therefore, educators have a two-fold objective:
1. to provide the job knowledge base in the
				area of the educator's own expertise in the best possible manner possible. Both
				the manual and mental skills must be provided that will best prepare the future
				worker for his/her job in this increasingly complex, technical world;
				and
2. an integral part of the
				instructional process must be safe methods for doing each and every job.
				Students must be taught, not as the best way to do a job, but as the only way
				to do a job. In other words, if a job is not performed safely, it is not
				performed correctly.
Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 28 - EDUCATION › Part CXXXIII - Bulletin 1674 - Safety Manual for Career and Technical Education Programs › Chapter 5 - Curriculum Content › Section CXXXIII-505 - Purposes of the Manual

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. The
				Manual serves two purposes.
1. The Manual
				provides guidelines that can be used to develop inspection checklists that can
				be used for instructional facilities. Students will recognize the measures that
				have implemented to make a workplace safe. They can participate in the
				inspections. When they go into the workplace of their eventual employment, they
				will be equipped to recognize the safety measures that are already in place,
				and they will know how to add what needs to be done to complete the safety and
				health process. The guidelines are found in Subpart 3, Inspection
				Worksheets.
2. The Manual provides
				five basic elements, listed in §507, that should be incorporated into the
				instructional materials to teach principles of safety and health along with the
				technical content of the curriculum. These elements should become an integral
				part of the instructional method, as if it were the only way to teach and
				perform the job. Students should understand that there is no alternative way to
				work other than the safe way.

				  Introduction
1. This part of the worksheet
				  enables the instructor to examine each of the potential hazards (the "N"
				  answers) that were identified in Subchapter B of this Chapter, Hazard
				  Identification, and to assign it a value corresponding to its relative risk.
Relative Risk
is usually defined in terms of three factors:
a. severity;
b. frequency/probability; and
c. exposure.
Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 28 - EDUCATION › Part CXXXIII - Bulletin 1674 - Safety Manual for Career and Technical Education Programs › Chapter 15 - Emergency Procedures Worksheet › Subchapter D - Hazard Control Measures › Section CXXXIII-1529 - Control Categories

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. This
				  Subchapter D is to implement those control measures that will either eliminate
				  or minimize hazards to the point where they will become acceptable. Also, these
				  control measures will be applied to the most serious hazards first, then to the
				  next-most-serious, and so on.
B.
				  Most control measures fall into one or more of three categories. Paragraphs 1-3
				  below list the three types and also outline the preferred sequence for applying
				  the controls, as engineering controls are the most effective way to control a
				  hazard, followed by administrative controls and finally by personal protective
				  equipment. Many times, the most effective controls are a blending of all three
				  types. They are:
1. engineering
				  controls;
2. administrative
				  controls; and
3. personal
				  protective equipment (PPE).
