Health and Safety Worksheets

 

Health and Safety is the cornerstone of design and manufacturing and is a vital part of any Design Technology classroom or lesson. It is something every DT teacher has to cover but
above and beyond that it is a really interesting and fun topic for any class. Health and
Safety and the discussions and big decisions it provokes in students is well worth dedicating some valuable time to. It can be a subject that is sometimes covered in brief or in a very dry way but it doesn’t have to be.

In this iBook I cover the main aspects of health and safety within the design technology classroom in a fun, informative and often interactive way. The subjects covered within the book are;
