- Here a sample of workplace reading. This is part of a safety
orientation reference handbook. Although it is reviewed at orientation,
workers are expected to keep this manual for reference and to
use it as needed.
- Workplace reading most often means:
- Glancing down a table of contents
- Scanning headings
- Scanning for key words
- Not reading everything

Document Use in the Classroom vs. Workplace
Workplace
- Document use is of major importance in the workplace. No job in
Canada has yet been identified that does not use document
- Document use is directly linked to the performance of a task.
Classroom
- Document use is of secondary importance compared to reading text.
|
- Since workplace documents are not usually seen in traditional
learning situations, they are unfamiliar to new entrants to the
workplace.

|
|
- This a standard time sheet that is common for labourers to complete
at the end of each work day. A document such as this is not a
“typical” classroom document.
