ASSESSING SCHOOL WORKSHOPS

SPPE 1033: WORKSHOP SAFETY AND MANAGEMENT GROUP PROJECT

GROUP WORK: Guidelines

Form 8 groups with 5-6 members each. Using the knowledge and skills you gained from the course, assess or evaluate the workshops of the different schools/polytechnics/community colleges in terms of safety and management effectiveness and efficiency. Each group has to assess one workshop. Develop your own set of evaluation criteria, having in mind all the things you learned from the course (e.g., fire safety, electrical safety, workshop planning, organizing, controlling, etc.) Come-up with a 15-page report using the following format as a guide:

OBJECTIVES
The objectives of evaluating the welding workshop in Politeknik Ibrahim Sultan, Johor Bharu are to determine the actual situation of this welding workshop. The danger inherent in this workshop will be determined and improvement will be made after evaluation examined. Students also can get the prefigure about the workshop before entering the workforce. Besides that, students also can know the ways on how to organize and operate the organization of a workshop used according to the standard required for a workshop smoothen.
