Technological Education (Grades 9 – 12)


While Technological Education programs provide a rich learning environment, processes such as safety passports and regular equipment inspections must be in place to ensure student safety at all times.

The sample resources featured below support student safety in all Technological Education programs:

  • Communications Technology
  • Computer Engineering Technology
  • Construction Technology
  • Exploring Technologies
  • Green Industries
  • Hairstyling and Aesthetics
  • Health Care
  • Hospitality and Tourism
  • Manufacturing Technology
  • Technological Design
  • Transportation Technology

As boards have both the responsibility and authority to develop SIP plans according to their specific processes, these sample resources should not be considered directive or prescriptive, but rather as helpful information.

For the most recent updates on currently available SIP resources, we suggest Student Injury Prevention leads first visit the following OSIP.ca Safety Partner sites. Note that all content on external sites is the responsibility of the individual organizations:

Ontario Council for Technology Education

Workplace Safety Prevention Services

Infrastructure Health & Safety Association

thumbnail-Infrastructure Health Safety AssociationW254 – Health and Safety Advisory: WAH Site-Specific Training

Falling from heights continues to be a leading cause of injuries and fatalities in the Ontario construction industry. Despite the fact that working at heights (WAH) training is mandatory and must meet a provincial standard, workers are still dying or suffering life-altering injuries.

All Ontario workers on a construction project who may use a method of fall protection to protect themselves from a fall hazard must receive WAH training that has been approved by the Chief Prevention Officer (CPO) of Ontario. However, CPO-approved WAH training is only the first step. Knowing the specific fall hazards on site and how to protect against those hazards is the key to keeping workers safe and reducing the number of fall-related incidents.

This advisory contains helpful information on providing site-specific WAH training to workers. 2 pages. June 2018. (Download)

thumbnail-Infrastructure Health Safety AssociationW253 – Health And Safety Advisory: Failure of Lanyards and Lifelines When Working on a Leading Edge

When working at heights, workers often rely on fall protection equipment to keep them safe. However, when working on a leading edge or around sharp work surfaces, the lifeline or lanyard—including a self-retracting lanyard or lifeline (SRL)—can become frayed or cut as it rubs against the edge. This damage can weaken the equipment to the point where, if a worker fell, the force of arresting the fall would likely cause the lanyard, lifeline, or SRL to fail. (Download)

About This Online Resource

An area of need identified by board staff with responsibility for student injury prevention is the ability to share best practices and information, ask questions, and access links to provincial student injury prevention partners.

As part of SIPI Phase Three, this online interactive resource includes both public and members-only areas. The members-only area allows boards to share resources, ask questions, and connect with fellow colleagues as they further develop student injury prevention plans and resources.
