NJATC "Living On The Edge" Videotape ReleasedNJATC and CapSchell, Inc. Collaborate On New Multi-media Instructional Aid
January 4, 2007 -- The National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee for the Electrical Industry (NJATC) co-sponsored by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) has released "Living On The Edge," a 42 minute videotape along with a 34 page hardcopy Facilitator's Guide. The video is actually a series of twelve messages with complementary visual and narrative structure designed to support technical instruction about work on or near energized conductors. The twelve messages are formed into modules:
Module 1 Speaking on Safety Module 2 Are You Living On The Edge? Module 3 Hazards Surprise Us Module 4 Statistics Are People Module 5 New Understanding Module 6 Space Module 7 Time Module 8 Team Module 9 Barrier Protection Module 10 Suiting Up Module 11 Check The Picture Module 12 Changing The Future
Generally, modules 1 through 4 are aimed toward hazard awareness. Modules 5 through 7 support discussion of human interaction with installation design. Modules 8 through 12 target prevention. All 12 video modules can be shown consecutively at the start of a meeting or class as an "ice breaker" to get people talking about their experiences and beliefs related to safety. However, in the video’s best use, each video module can be shown independently. Exercises can be devised depending on the facilitator’s judgment of their audience’s needs and interest. For example, for a module’s "stand alone" discussion, a facilitator can challenge the class to identify safe and unsafe practices illustrated in the work scenes, or to reflect on how filmed work compares to local job sites. As a presentation aid to safety meetings or apprentice classes, "Living On The Edge" can enhance discussion relevant to specific classroom material. The visual and narrative content is presented using a fast pace in the style of a television commercial. The benefit of this approach is that it permits video use while protecting valuable classroom time for discussion. The narration for each module is reprinted at the end of the Facilitator’s Guide. This resource can be used to respond accurately to questions about module content and to suggest topics for discussion. To introduce a module, the facilitator may wish to present the module’s message. Or, the facilitator may wish to reinforce the message as a "take away" after viewing and discussion.
