Outdoor Tools Course

Description

Brushcutters and whipper snippers can fling up objects like sticks, stones, and glass at high speed.  These can cause serious injuries to the operator or anyone else who is nearby.

This Outdoor Tools course highlights the risks associated with using outdoor power tools and lays out some simple measures that can be taken prior to operating any outdoor power tool to minimize the risk of injury to operators, co-workers, and the public.

Once the course is completed, you will have learned about the importance of wearing the appropriate PPE, pre-inspection of the area you’re about to work on, how to refuel the power tool safely and how to avoid slips, trips, and falls. This course is one part of a 36-part Induction Series aimed at blue-collar workers.

Our purpose back then was to produce a range of generic workplace training videos that would be marketed to Corporate, Educational and Governmental organisations around Australia and New Zealand.

In fact, the name Channel 1 was decided on because that was where Australians used to access their video cassette recorders on their televisions sets in 1990.

For the first 13 years of our existence, until 2003, Channel 1 also managed the entire production and placement of all advertising for JB Hi Fi. Having produced roughly 400 television commercials over that period as well as countless radio ads, press ads and catalogues certainly armed us with a unique ability to “sell the message”.

Move forward 28 years and not only do we boast a suite of over 300 generic training videos and online eLearning training programs but Channel 1 is now the preferred choice of many large and small Australian organisations for corporate video production.

A key focus for us has been workplace health and safety, staff development as well as sales and customer service training videos. Many of these videos are now available in self paced online learning.
