All new staff members at Burleigh Heads are required to participate in an induction.
It has recently been identified that new staff members also need to be inducted in
setting up their work station to meet health and safety requirements.
Your Manager has asked you to develop a short PowerPoint presentation that can

workstation correctly.
Your Manager has asked you to develop a PowerPoint presentation based on the
following information:
http://www.wikihow.com/Set-Up-an-Ergonomically-Correct-Workstation
The presentation must be in your own words and developed according to the Style
Guide. Use images to illustrate points. You will not be expected to present your
work, so it must be able to stand alone as a document, and it will be marked as
such.
Review the requirements for the task as set out in the scenario information, as well
as the Style Guide. Then, to prepare for a meeting with the Office Manager (your
assessor), develop and type up notes on the key requirements of the task,
including:
An outline of the layout and style of the presentation asset out in the Style
Guide.

PowerPoint presentation. It is important to remember that this is not your final draft,
and that you will be making numerous changes to it before you have your final
draft. Its purpose is to give yourself, and your assessor, a look at how the
presentation will look generally, and how close it adheres to the notes that you have
taken.
