Lesson Content
Examples Of Body Safety Devices
Body safety devices are protective tools designed to prevent injuries and keep people safe during work or other activities.
Examples of Body Safety Devices:
- Safety Boots: Protect the feet from sharp objects and heavy impacts. Wear them during construction or outdoor activities.
- Safety Gloves: Protect hands from harmful chemicals or cuts. Use them when handling sharp tools or chemicals.
- Goggles: Shield the eyes from dust, chemicals, or flying debris. Wear them in laboratories or during woodwork.
- Face Masks: Prevent inhalation of harmful gases or dust. Use them during painting or in dusty environments.
- Earplugs: Protect ears from loud noises. Use them at construction sites or near heavy machinery.
Instructional Procedures
To deliver this lesson, the teacher will adopt the following steps:

| Step 7: Closure | 2 mins | Reinforcement | Takeaway assignment | Assign pupils to identify safety devices used at home. | Record and prepare to complete the assignment at home. | connect the lesson to real-life situations. |
Lesson Evaluation
To evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:
- Define body safety devices.
- List two examples of body safety devices.
- Mention one use of safety boots.
- Demonstrate how to wear safety gloves.
- Explain why goggles are important during laboratory work.
Differentiation
The teacher will provide extra support to pupils who struggle by simplifying explanations and demonstrating individually, while advanced pupils will be encouraged to explain safety device usage to peers.
Note for Teachers Using This Lesson Plan
Encourage active participation by allowing pupils to touch and try on the devices. Reinforce the importance of safety in everyday activities. Happy teaching!
