This 2-part video is intended to be used as a teaching supplement for those involved in teaching in and management of a wood production laboratory with the Technology Education program in Nova Scotia public schools. The material within the video component is designed to correspond to the Operations and Maintenance manual and daily, weekly, monthly checks as required by the Fire Marshall’s office. The intent of this video and powerpoint presentation is to provide pre-training background for participants to review prior to the commissioning process of a dust collector.
