TOPIC 5: LOOK, THINK, DO (L4.AS5.1)Name:Class:Learning Outcomes:Tasks and indicatorsAchievedUses problem solving skills to address farm injury risksIdentifies and assesses options for responding to unsafe situationsACTIVITIES:1.a LOOK…FOR HAZARDS AND UNSAFE PRACTICES.Imagine you are Harry or Geena. Go on a ‘safety walk’ on the farm pictured on the folder cover or cd.• Use the “Child safety on farms checklist” to help identify farm hazards and unsafe practices.• Answer yes/no to the questions as you ‘walk’ and ‘look’. Think about other possible hazards not listed or shown on thechecklist, but that you are aware of.• Based on your answers, make a list in your workbook of the hazards/ unsafe practices on Geena and Harry’s farm.1.b THINK…ABOUT THE RISK OF INJURYRisk of injury will depend on how often someone does an unsafe activity and how badly hurt they might be.For example, if you run across a busy highway 20 times a day, there is a greater chance you will be runover,than someone who is three times your size and crosses the highway once/week.Draw up a table like the one below with these headings. Complete the table below by adding the ‘hazards/unsafepractices’ from 1.a and describing how often and how severe an injury could be.Hazard / unsafe practiceHow often are children involvedwith this (eg. daily, weekly, monthly)How serious is the injury(eg. causes death, serous illnessvisit to Doctor, time off school)Based on the table, work out the most risky hazard or practice. Order your hazards 1 to……1.c DO…Take the most risky hazard / practice and describe ways to reduce injury risk on Harry and Geena’s farm.Suggest these under these headings:• Safer places• Safer design• Safer practices• Safer gearTake the next hazard/practice do the same until you have made the farm a safer place to live and play.
