Week 6

This week we have finalized the method that we would use to create the safety videos . Classifying the videos by their courses would be a great separation, as one student from a single course would require to view only 1 video.

We have also sourced out a few videography programs. After obtaining the program, we would try out with all of them and choose the most appropriate one.

We also did a research on the different types of labs. However,since this is a school to provide a safe place for knowledge and education to be shared, there are many safety precautions already taken. Hence, most accidents are spared except for a few occasional and common accident.Examples are cuts;burns;slips.

we would be coming out with our content list for each course as soon as our we complete our assignment(S) during this week.

Here are some photos taken:

Week 5

On the 5th week, we have completed the content list needed for creating the safety videos and start reading up on the CEPB and CPPA manuals.

The objectives of doing this content list is to improve efficiency when doing up the videos so that the video will be effective for understanding. The videos should be comprehensive enough so that the year 1's can understand as they have no background information about the lab.

We are reading up on the CEPB and CPPA manuals to get a rough idea of the experiment and hence enabling us to apply the general information across the safety video.

We are also currently searching for a reliable and easy-to-comprehend video program.

Week 4

On the 4th week of the FYP, we received all the manuals, for both modules & all the different lab safety manuals. We also received a copy of a past-year final project video.

We also visited Mr Ken, the TSO for W318, and queried about the availability of the labs so that we can start filming. We were told that we had to inform the TSO's of the workshop we will work in, in advance (a week at least) before we can start any work.

We will have to confirm the different types of labs there are in CLS and collect all the risk assessments for the practicals before we progress on the videos.

Week 3

We have completed the Gantt chart, one week in advance. We took a laptop for our group, which is strictly for school purpose!

We have submitted a request for the safety & practical manuals and we are currently waiting for a reply. We also have to get a risk assessment for the practicals as soon as possible.

We proposed to the supervisor to not do the safety videos for each department, instead it would be for each type of lab ( e.g. bio lab, chemical lab, pilot plants, optometry lab and food lab). And our proposal was accepted.

Good start to the FYP, carry it on!
