Design project safety and risk management, production, final evaluation

Objective◦ Be able to use the processes of designing and

producing to complete a design project

Last week Research Idea generation for possible solutions Project management Experimentation and testing Communication

This week Safety and risk management Production Project final evaluation

Where is everyone up to?

Basic safety◦ Design classroom and Computer room – cords,

materials, ergonomics◦ Workshop – fluids, heat, electrics, dust, fumes,

sparks, chips, shavings, sharps, noise, tools, materials, adhesives, solvents, chemicals, lifting, etc

Work Health & Safety◦ Schools are considered a workplace◦ NSW Work Health and Safety Act 2011

http://www.workcover.nsw.gov.au/newlegislation2012/Pages/default.aspx

◦ WHS laws in NSW are policed by the WorkCover Authority of NSW

Basic safety – common potential hazards◦ Design classroom and Computer room – cords,

materials, ergonomics◦ Workshop – fluids, heat, electrics, dust, fumes,

sparks, chips, shavings, sharps, noise, tools, materials, adhesives, solvents, chemicals, lifting, etc

Who is responsible in the classroom?◦ Everyone? Yes, but...◦ Ultimately the trained teacher

all tools and equipment must be safe and sound work space must conform with current safety

standards teacher is to be an authority on the safety issues that

relate to the activities in his or her classroom compromise not appropriate with any decision relating

to safety responsibilities of teachers and students in school

You need a plan◦ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJbsMKRqYEY

Risk management◦ Identify safety hazards◦ Risk assessment◦ Risk control◦ Review risk assessments

Collins, Cornius-Randall, Annetts, Annetts, Hampson, & McMurtrie, (2006), pp. 51-55.

Controlling hazards1. Eliminate the hazard2. Change equipment or materials3. Change work methods4. Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Questions◦ What are some examples of PPE?◦ What are some general rules for safe work?


Record some aspects of safety and risk management that you need to consider for your project

Turning ideas into reality Considerations

◦ Tools◦ Materials◦ Techniques


Production-management planning◦ Identify steps◦ List steps/processes sequentially◦ Refer to and/or amend Action Management plan


Week 6 Sketches of ideas generation- collect evidence of creativity and innovation- sketches of possible types of carriers. Create technical drawings and create card prototype. Had to change ideas here to incorporate second carrier, wood box to meet two material criteria and adjust former design.

Week 7 Evaluate design and process on current model. Revisit consideration of design factors and criteria. Make adaption’s to design. Create 2nd pro forma (wood) small scale to trial attributes. Re-evaluate. Buy materials.

Week 8 Identification and justification of ideas and resources used. Seek out expertise of actual size pattern making and sewing. Source materials, tools. Perform trials on double stitching, joining materials. Trial fasteners, trial boning.

Week 9 Create pattern, pin pattern to material, cut out pattern- commence creating design. Make fasteners. Evaluate and adapt design during production. Presentation of work so far.

Week 10 Finish creating design to a quality standard. Seek professional feedback. Obtain evaluation of finished product. Make final adaptations if possible, if not record what happened. Finalise action, finance and time plans to evaluate how I went.

Production-management planning◦ Quality control

Aim for highest standard Work accurately Check quality at each step so that mistakes can be

corrected Check overall quality against criteria in the design

Evaluation: Refer back to the design brief◦ Judge against what you set out to do

No project goes perfectly Aspects to consider

◦ Function◦ Aesthetics◦ Planning


Possible questions:◦ Is the project aesthetically pleasing?◦ Does my project function well?◦ How effective was the project planning?

Evaluations and Product Realisation

Things that worked well Things that I’d change next time

Using various research resources. Not using a social network but using a more professional network i.e. Blog.

Mind maps and brainstorming. Creating technical drawings before pro forma’s so realistic measurements are taken into consideration.

Pro forma’s. Seek professional advice before attempting final design for example on the pro forma.

Variety of sketches- allowed exploration of idea.

Trial of using tools before attempting final design.

Designing patterns/stencils. Work on portfolio on each step of the process instead of completing several steps then trying to catch the folio up.

Evaluating and adjusting every step of the process.

Getting others feedback more frequently.

Keeping photographic evidence at each step.

Start my final design earlier so that it is finished before time and I can get feedback on it.

production of your project What criteria you’ll use for the final

evaluation How to go about the project final evaluation
