1. The written assignment for Industrial Technology has continuously posed a degree of trouble for some pupils and instructors who are required to postulate with the CSEC practical countries. In visible radiation of this challenge the undermentioned presentation has been created to give a better apprehension of the process to follow.

2. In order to successfully complete written assignments campaigners must foremost go cognizant of the demands of this constituent. It is really of import that each campaigner is non merely provided with these demands ( which include background and grade strategy ) but besides that instructors utilize a session or two to explicate exhaustively the stairss to be followed.

Ushers presented to campaigners should include the undermentioned:

1. Background to written assignment

2. Mark strategy

[ Samples shown below ]

THE WRITTEN COMPONENT
The written assignment will take the signifier of a study of about 1000 – 1200 words based on the common faculties. These are: Safety Health & A ; Welfare
Introduction to Computer

Impact of Technology on Society

Campaigners are to show their full apprehension of the constructs associating to these faculties. They should bring forth a study that uses word-processing engineering. Campaigners may besides utilize other package bundles ( Spreadsheets or databases ) to make any analysis that may be necessary to heighten the presentation of the study. The study should be a critical analysis of a peculiar establishment. concern or subject that has relation or relevancy to the Unit ( s ) or Subject ( s ) being studied. It is suggested that one of two attacks be used. 1. Industrial visits

Preparation of a study on a visit to an industry or industrial site.

2. A study on a peculiar subject that is relevant to the Unit ( s ) or Subject ( s ) being studied. for illustration.
– Transport – route. air. rail or H2O ;
– Communication ;
– Manufacturing ;
– Service industry.

The study should include drawings. and exposure. wherever these are relevant. in add-on to the written stuff. The study should turn to the countries listed below. – The occupations or callings involved in the peculiar establishment or subject that relate to the Unit ( s ) or Subject ( s ) being studied. – The norms. ordinances and codifications of which employees in these countries must be cognizant and to which they must adhere. because of legal. fiscal. strategic or other considerations. – The impact of engineering on the callings identified and the procedures involved as they relate to the Unit ( s ) or Subject ( s ) being studied. for illustration. employment vs. unemployment. self-employment. security considerations. methods of processing and environmental considerations. – Ethical and moral considerations. A critical expression at the environmental issues. employment patterns and safety. wellness and public assistance issues as they are addressed.

3. If the campaigner is analyzing:

( I ) One Unit of measurement or Capable merely. the study should turn to the countries listed in point 2 above which are relevant to that Unit merely. ( two ) Two or more Unit of measurements or Subjects. the study should turn to the countries listed in point 2 above which are relevant to ALL the Units being studied.

Interpreting ushers and grade strategy

It is of import to observe that unless the study is prepared harmonizing to the ushers and grade strategy given. pupils will happen it hard to hit points for this constituent. As such rigorous attachment to the instructions given through the paperss above is critical to the successful completion of this piece.

Introduction OF THE WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT

The debut of the written assignment consists of two countries. viz. :
1. Subject outlined briefly and.
2. Methods/approach at informations aggregation.

Based on the dislocation of the grade strategy the debut asks for two specific pieces of information and values 2 Markss. one for each. It is hence unneeded for campaigners to be drawn-out in this subdivision.

Example

1. The fabrication of ordinary Portland cement at Carib Cement Jamaica Limited. ( 1 grade ) 2. The undermentioned attacks were taken in garnering the informations:

I. A guided circuit of the works
two. Video presentations
three. Use of questionnaires
four. Interviews conducted with forces ( 1 grade )

Content

As outlined in the grade strategy. campaigners are required to place the different callings at the industry that they have visited. In the instance of the subject attack. campaigners will of course place those callings associated with that country of specialisation besides including support staff that would help in the successful running of such an constitution. All campaigners are required to make here is to name the callings. Obviously merely one grade is allotted for this subdivision. Creative ways could besides be employed if so desired by campaigners to show this information.

E. g. Organizational charts. The norms. ordinances and codifications to which employees must be cognizant and to which they must adhere because of legal. fiscal. strategic or other consideration. Again this other point values merely one grade on the grade strategy. hence campaigners are non expected to be drawn-out. A good attack to take here is to interrupt down the header in order to sufficiently turn to each constituent.

Example: Norms

Norms speak to the customary operation of the works and particularly employees from the clip of ‘check in’ to the clip of ‘check out’ . The operations here could be itemized with an indicant of the clip in which they are carried out.

E. g. :

1 ) Employees check in at security station for treating —————–
8:30 AM 2 ) Employees report to sections. ————————————-

9:00 AM Regulations

Regulations speak to the set of regulations to which employees must adhere. These regulations must be linked to the day-to-day operations carried out by employees. In presentation these ordinances could be tabulated with possible exposure of marks mounted on the works. Note: There are points allotted individually for images. tabular arraies and charts. Codes could besides be addressed at this point. These can be described as a systematic set of Torahs which rather frequently govern both behavior and safety. Pictures of codifications identified on site could besides be used to heighten presentation.

Impact of Technology on Careers

The impact of engineering is basically seeking to place the negatives and positives of the usage of the equipment on the works ( particularly if freshly introduced ) and the consequence that these have on the bing callings. However. campaigners are required to talk specifically to the impact as it relates to the undermentioned countries:

1 ) Employment vs. unemployment
2 ) Security or processing
3 ) Environmental

If an existent circuit of an industrial works was conducted so the information needed in this subdivision could be collected with the assistance of interviews. questionnaires or observation of operations. If the study was completed from a subject so campaigners would of course place possible effects that could originate as a consequence of the debut of new engineering. As it relates to employment vs. unemployment. campaigners are required to state whether occupations have been lost or occupations have been gained as a consequence of the debut of engineering.

In footings of security or processing. campaigners will choose one of these and place technological features/devices that are used in these countries striking a comparing with manual methods which were antecedently employed. Industrial workss are popularly known to hold a hurtful consequence on the environment particularly where the emanation of waste is concern. The campaigner at this point is to explicate what technological characteristic if any is used to command these emanations and luxuriant briefly on its effectivity. How ethical and moral considerations are addressed

This subdivision speaks specifically to two countries. these are:

1 ) Legal constabularies on safety. wellness and public assistance. 2 ) Moral attack in managing safety. wellness and public assistance. A legal policy in this context can be defined as a prudent class of action employed by an organisation. This prudent class of action seeks to sketch how situations/developments are handled within the constitution. At point 1 ) above campaigners are required to name the legal policies employed by the establishment/industrial works which address safety. wellness and public assistance. These policies may change from organisation to organisation but in this instance could include: 1 ) A safety and wellness policy.

2 ) Social welfare policy developed through the human and resource section in the constitution. ( Information below seeks to give further inside informations on safety and wellness. Kindly peruse ) Safety and Health policies

Safe and healthy working conditions do non go on by opportunity. Employers need to hold a written safety policy for their endeavor puting out the safety and wellness criterions which should be their nonsubjective to accomplish. The policy should call the senior executive who is responsible for seeing that the criterions are achieved. and who has authorization to apportion duties to direction and supervisors at all degrees and to see they are carried out.

The safety policy should cover with the undermentioned affairs:

1 ) Agreements for preparation at all degrees. Particular attending demands to be given to cardinal workers such as scaffolders and Crane operators whose errors can be particularly unsafe to other workers ; 2 ) safe methods or systems of work for risky operations: the workers transporting out these operations should be involved in their readying ; 3 ) the responsibilities and duties of supervisors and cardinal workers ; 4 ) agreements by which information on safety and wellness is to be made known ; 5 ) agreements for puting up safety commissions ;

6 ) the choice and control of subcontractors.

Safety organisation and direction ( policies ) must cover all facets of the employer’s or the contractor’s operations

Moral Approach in managing safety. wellness and public assistance

Moral attack in managing safety. wellness and public assistance has to make with how employees are treated by the constitution. Candidates at this point will place the enterprises within the organization/establishment which have been developed for employees under the header of safety. wellness and public assistance. These could include:

1 ) Health attention for employees and household.
2 ) Provision of safety equipment for employees.
3 ) Insurance bundles for employees.

Presentation

Seven points are allotted for presentation and in order for pupils to hit maximal they must run into all the demands outlined in the grade strategy. Acute attending must be placed on the usage of tabular arraies. charts. images and diagrams to show informations. The instrument selected can be used to stand for any informations that the pupil wishes to foreground. All countries to be addressed under debut and content should be treated as headers and subheadings therefore bettering the presentation of the study.

COMMUNICATION OF INFORMATION

This country deals with the communicating of information in a logical manner utilizing right grammar and appropriate slang of the field. All of 12 Markss are allotted to this country and as such instructor is expected to supervise pupils closely guaranting that all the demands outlined are adhered to every bit much as possible.

Summary

This section of the study carries ( 2 Markss ) . These are separated equally between two countries:
1 ) Major findings
2 ) Recommendations

Major Findingss

This is where pupils will foreground any country of works operation that they might see to be outstanding. This could include new engineering which leads to greater efficiency.

Recommendation

This is where pupils place possible strategies/initiatives which could function to better operations in the countries of concern.
