<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:10.0pt'>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:10.0pt'>Having seen the
proposed list of prohibited equipment in the recent reference guide, my
department and I have considerable concern that students of D&T will have
even less opportunity to be able to learn to use “real life” equipment in “real
life” situations but in a safe environment. VCE students need to be able
to have the choice of a number of “complex processes” when designing and
producing their products. The list limits the number of processes
available to them. It is inconsistent and, I believe, has been developed
with the minimisation of potential legal action in mind rather than the safe
education of our students.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:10.0pt'>Are there others
out there who feel the way we do at my school? Was DATTA involved with
the development of these regulations? Can we build a united front that
could recommend a more sensible approach to using potentially dangerous plant
and equipment? Can DATTA be the united front and sensible voice in this
issue?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

strong recommendations. I hope yours does too!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
