A Song of Fire and Safety
When it comes to fire safety in the workplace, we might be tempted to think that it's not our concern, or that there's plenty of other things to worry about—until it's too late. However, it's everyone's responsibility to prevent fires. That...Show More
When it comes to fire safety in the workplace, we might be tempted to think that it's not our concern, or that there's plenty of other things to worry about—until it's too late. However, it's everyone's responsibility to prevent fires. That means we all have an important part to play in identifying and minimising the risks. Show Less
Mind over Splatter: Health and Safety Attitudes
Safety is more than warning signs and handrails - it is an attitude of the mind. There are many traps for those whose attitude is amiss. Whether you're surviving the zombie apocalypse or just surviving daily grind of the office, the consequences...Show More
Safety is more than warning signs and handrails - it is an attitude of the mind. There are many traps for those whose attitude is amiss. Whether you're surviving the zombie apocalypse or just surviving daily grind of the office, the consequences of having the wrong attitude to safety can be deadly! In this video, you'll meet the Zombusters team and see how complacency, rushing, distractions, and unfamiliarity can get the better of us, and how to avoid these mind-traps. Show Less

The testing, evaluation and refinement stage is an integral part of the engineering design process. This video investigates three real-world projects requiring different testing methods, uncovering why testing is crucial to achieve finished products that fit the brief. Engineering students will benefit from interviews with engineers who worked on the Deepsea Challenger life support sphere, the Morph Wheels foldable wheelchair wheel, and the Fliteboard electric hydrofoil.

Impactful Materials
A critical aspect of design is the selection of materials to make a product. Physical and chemical properties, cost and availability, and social, ethical and environmental impacts of materials are all important considerations. This video explores...Show More
A critical aspect of design is the selection of materials to make a product. Physical and chemical properties, cost and availability, and social, ethical and environmental impacts of materials are all important considerations. This video explores criteria for selecting the best materials for engineering projects by following three exciting case studies: the Deepsea Challenger life support sphere, Morph Wheels foldable wheelchair wheel, and Fliteboard electric hydrofoil.

Kessler Syndrome: What Happens When Satellites Collide
Of all the man-made satellites in Low Earth Orbit, 95% are space junk: rocket thrusters, derelict satellites, and most of all, tiny fragments of debris from collisions and explosions. All this debris poses a potential threat to the future of...Show More
Of all the man-made satellites in Low Earth Orbit, 95% are space junk: rocket thrusters, derelict satellites, and most of all, tiny fragments of debris from collisions and explosions. All this debris poses a potential threat to the future of space travel if we don't find a way to clean it up before it's too late.
Kessler Syndrome, the threat of cascading orbital debris fallout, is an environmental crisis that's almost completely invisible to us, but which may carry dire consequences for our infrastructure and the future of spaceflight if left unchecked. Show Less

Environmental sustainability is about designing and implementing practices and processes within a workplace that do not waste or exhaust natural resources or cause ecological damage. It not only minimises an organisation’s environmental footprint – there is also potential for significant bottom-line gains.
This resource focuses on environmental sustainability in manufacturing and light industry, where technology and innovation have contributed significantly greater efficiency in both resource use and productivity.
Areas covered include identifying resources and environmental issues; compliance with regulations; and improving resource efficiency. Award-winning Melbourne-based printing company, Vega Press, is an excellent case study and a range of its initiatives are examined. Further expert comment is offered by an industry trainer from Kangan Institute’s Centre for Competitive Operations.
It is an outstanding resource for senior and post-secondary students in various disciplines who are examining contemporary issues in today’s workplace.
Interviewees: Robert Nugent – Vega Press; John Ferraro – Kangan Institute Show Less
