If a potentially preventable accident were to happen, the liability may still rest with the supervising teacher 1. In the past, teachers have been held accountable in spite of the fact that the student was at fault2. It therefore is in your best interests to keep a close record of attendance during safety lessons, and ensure those with 12 OFSHEEA/OFSHLC 2013

incomplete attendance be caught up with the class as comprehensively as possible. In the Family Studies setting, teachers should act as a careful and prudent parent. In this way, a teacher should be much less inclined to attempt to supervise a large group of students in the area of assorted/potentially dangerous equipment than to supervise a smaller group over which he or she could be assured greater control. Also, the need for close supervision of any group of students increases with the complexity of both the task and the equipment employed to complete the task. In this regard, safety should be the joint responsibility of the educator, the principal and the school board. The Lead Counsel for the Ontario School Boards Insurance Exchange in 1992 stated that, periods of fiscal restraint which inevitably give rise to pressure for larger class sizes and reduced equipment expenditures will not justify an increased risk to the health and safety of the student population considerations of class size and available quality supervision are two very important factors in making the determination of the types of activities which could be reasonably, safely and/or prudently undertaken3. As far as what the caps are for class sizes that have a lab component, this depends on your boards collective bargaining committee within your federation and your board arrangement. Following on the next page is a Toronto District School Board list of cap sizes, and the wiggle room each TDSB guidance and administrative team can exercise based on their enrolment. Find out your own boards agreements and use this when discussing the safety concerns you have for your room and your students.

1. In 1990, the Supreme Court of Ontario found a teacher and the school board negligent when a student received serious injury to the right eye during a sewing activity. The Judge determined this was a foreseeable accident and should have sufficiently trained the student. The school board and teacher were fined $56, 000. 2. In 1981, the Supreme Court of Canada deemed the Peel County Board of Education liable for failing to provide adequate supervision of a student in a gymnastic manoeuvre, even though the student was acting recklessly. Thus, argument has been made that recommend teachers act as a Prudent Parent during all activities to all students.

Ironing and Pressing

IRONING: is the process of using an iron to remove wrinkles from damp, washable clothing. Heat and pressure are used to flatten the fabric. Ironing is done with a gliding or sliding motion. It is done to entire garments after laundering. PRESSING: involves no sliding of the iron. The iron is placed on the fabric and then lifted. oisture is added from a pressing cloth or steam in the iron. This procedure is good for wool clothing and loose or bulk! te"tures. It is often done to apparel between uses. It is also done while constructing garments.
