This series of special features may be used to provide enrichment to Dream Big and include behind-the-scenes videos and educational webisodes on engineering topics.

This film highlights the many ways in which engineers tackle problems big and small and explores how the principles of engineering can create a better future for all. Three female engineers are specifically profiled: one who specializes in creating structures that can better sustain earthquakes, ...

No project is too big or too small for Helen Kerr. She designs everything from physical objects to abstract concepts.

This program provides information on the essential facts and principles of eye safety in the workplace. It looks at the eye hazards that could exist in a workplace and how these hazards can be controlled to reduce the risk to an individual's eyes.

Ce programme a été conçu pour expliquer le concept de la reconnaissance, de l'évaluation et de la prévention des risques. Il aborde les principes sous-jacents, examine la signification de chacune des composantes du concept et explique minutieusement le rôle de ce concept dans le domaine de la séc...

Les procédés de soudage sont extrêmement techniques et peuvent créer des conditions de travail dangereuses. Le soudage oxyacétylénique et le soudage à l'arc électrique présentent des risques de sécurité et de santé aux soudeurs et aux travailleurs situés à leur proximité. L'exposition à ces risqu...

The use of angle grinders can be extremely dangerous. If incorrectly used, angle grinder discs can shatter causing projectiles to fly violently through the air, hitting the operator and others in the work area. This program covers topics that contribute to the safe use of grinders such as: inform...

It is fundamental to maintain a clean, tidy and safe working environment. Workplace housekeeping will reduce the number accidents and injuries, reduce the risk of fire, improve work efficiencies, reduce fatigue, improve overall morale and improve the general look and feel of the work environment....

WHMIS stands for Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System and was created to reduce injuries, illness and deaths associated with working with hazardous or controlled materials in the workplace. Any controlled product must be appropriately labelled with a corresponding Material Safety Data...

Electric arc welding is an industrial process which enables users to fuse two separate pieces of metal into a solid mass. This program shows correct and safe techniques as well as equipment knowledge including: an explanation of the arc welding process and how it works; workshop, personal, and eq...

This video shows how to identify welding hazards and learn how to control them. It explains potential welding hazards such as radiant energy, temperature extremes, fumes and gases, noise, sparks and slay, electric shock, chemicals, fires and explosions. Evaluating a workplace, controls and practi...

The potential for the inhalation of hazardous substances is a serious issue that must be continually addressed. This programs covers: what constitutes a hazardous atmosphere; general information about air-purifying and supplied air respirators; different types of air-purifying respirators and fil...

This video shows how to operate an off-hand grinding machine safely and efficiently. It explains the types of grinding machines, components which make up a grinding machine, types of abrasive wheels, abrasive wheel identification, inspecting an abrasive wheel, fitting a new wheel, personal safety...

Workplaces are surrounded by a maze of electrical circuits, cables, conduits and extension cords delivering electricity to equipment, appliances and lights. Without a basic understanding of how electricity behaves and what effects electricity can have on the human body, it is difficult to underst...

When hazards in the work environment cannot be "engineered out," or when guards, shields and other safety devices have limited effectiveness, there will often be a need to wear personal protective equipment. This program examines in detail: eye and face protection, head protection, respiratory pr...
