Occupational Health & Safety PresentationMark Zeeman
Presentation to (New & Old) employees on OH & S issues. An informed package to refresh & introduce others to issues involved within the workplace. It is focused on everyday issues occuring in work. Provides an awareness of rights & responsibilities of employees & employers. It is expected that any issues unresolved will be voiced objectively as possible. The overall intent is to provide a campaign on issues in both safety and health.
Workplace safety has come out as one of the top priorities for senior level executives in Mining. A safety management system is a set of rules, guidelines and proper procedure developed and put in place to ensure that everyone in the workplace are working in a safe and secure environment.
Industrial safety is defined as policies and protections put in place to ensure plant and factory worker protection from hazards that could cause injury.
Stefan Greuter and Susanne Tepe: Designing A Game For Occupational Health & Safety
http://youtu.be/hH6eTJ22eK4
One of the key challenges for Occupational Health & Safety training is to engage learners. Serious Games are a promising vehicle to engage learners and enhance their retention of important concepts. We designed and developed a game as a classroom activity the Occupational Health and Safety Construction Induction course at RMIT that allows students to experiment with workplace hazards in an educational and entertaining way. In this session we talk about the design challenges and the games impact on motivation and knowledge retention.
A comprehensive range of health and safety dvds to suit most induction and refresher training requirements.

Project Execution Plan for High Rise BuildingDavid H Moloney
The purpose of this presentation is to give an understanding of the Methods, Plant and Sequence to construct a high-rise building.
This presentation can be used to engage Stakeholders and to get the Site Teams commitment to the programme. Also can be used for Induction Training and as a way to capture and share knowledge.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
