Review of Mock Examinations Questions? Students have a better learning outcome if each question is answered in class either by the group (preferably) or the lecturer. Ask if there are any questions rarely obtains a response. It may not be practical to go through the whole mock examination but an attempt should be made to address those questions that students would be expected to find difficult.

Case Studies – Group Exercises Review the workplace situations and identify all potential routes of exposure. Design appropriate control strategies for the sites to minimise exposures to appropriate levels Prepare a short presentation (3 overheads maximum) that highlights the issues, what needs to be done, what you need to do it and what are the benefits Show the video of these two situations to the class. Ask them to identify all exposure sources and then develop a control strategy for each site. Finally ask them to develop a short presentation suitable for delivery to senior management which highlights the issues, how they can be controlled, what resources are required and what benefits arise from do this work. Have each group present their case to the “management team’ and provide feedback on what swayed you to go with a particular approach. Ensure all members of the group participate in the presentation sessions and ask questions of those who don’t.
