Advanced Industrial Hygiene Unit 1 PowerPoint Presentation

Course Textbook APA Citation:

Plog, B. A., & Quinlan, P. (2012). Fundamentals of industrial hygiene (6th ed.). Itasca, IL: National Safety Council.

Unit I PowerPoint Presentation

Create a 10- to 15-slide PowerPoint Presentation (not counting title and reference slides) that provides an overview of industrial hygiene. You may use the textbook, the OSHA pamphlet on Industrial Hygiene, the AIHA website, and other sources as you see fit. Be sure to create a reference slide that cites all sources using APA format. Include the following information in your presentation:

· Definition/explanation of industrial hygiene

· Major U.S. industrial hygiene organizations

· Code of ethics

· Impact of federal regulations

· Types of hazards addressed by industrial hygienists

· Types of control methods used by industrial hygienists

· Role industrial hygiene plays in an injury and illness prevention program

Use the notes section within PowerPoint to create the dialog or script that you would use when speaking to the audience about the information presented on your slide. Your PowerPoint presentation should be constructed using a serif type font. A serif type font is, in principle (for high-resolution media), easier to read than a non-serif type font because the individual characters differ more from each other. The standard is Times New Roman. Do not use a sans serif font such as Arial. Also, it is recommended that PowerPoint presentation slides should not contain a font smaller than thirty points; twenty eight points should be the absolute minimum.

Power Point Expectations:

If you do not have a lot of experience developing a PowerPoint presentation. I am providing a PowerPoint presentation that covers what to do and what not to do. The presentation is from ARMA International's website http://www.arma.org/r1/professional-development/education/facilitator-resources/pptguidelines

In addition, go out to the Internet and review some of the tips for developing a professional presentation. Here are some locations that provide some valuable information:
Presenter's University suggests the 666 rule for simplicity in design: No more than 6 words per bullet, 6 bullets per page, and 6 word slides in a row.

10 PowerPoint Tips

Projected slides are a good medium for depicting an idea graphically or providing an overview. They are a poor medium for detail and reading. Avoid paragraphs, quotations and even complete sentences. Limit your slides to five lines of text and use words and phrases to make your points. The audience will be able to digest and retain key points more easily. Don’t use your slides as speaker’s notes or to simply project an outline of your presentation.

Your speaker notes should be used as your talking points to remind you what information you want to convey to the audience while a particular slide is up

The following 37 slides present guidelines and suggestions for the use of fonts, colors, and graphics when preparing PowerPoint presentations for
Sessions and Seminars.

This media (PPT) is designed to ENHANCE your presentation, not BE the presentation.
Remember, only you can prevent
“Death by PowerPoint”

PowerPoint Presentation Guidelines

Highlight key points or reinforce what the facilitator is saying
Should be short and to the point, include only key words and phases for visual, reinforcement
In order for your presentation to fit on most screens, text and images should be placed within 95% of the PowerPoint slide. This “action safe” area is seen in the next slide.

Layout continuity from frame to frame conveys a sense of completeness
Headings, subheadings, and logos should show up in the same spot on each frame
Margins, fonts, font size, and colors should be consistent with graphics located in the same general position on each frame
Lines, boxes, borders, and open space also should be consistent throughout
PowerPoint Layout

Fonts

Font Style Should be Readable
Recommended fonts: Arial, Tahoma, Veranda
Standardize the Font Throughout
This presentation is in Tahoma
This is a good title size Verdana 40 point
A good subtitle or bullet point size Verdana 32 point
Content text should be no smaller than
Verdana 24 point
This font size is not recommended for content. Verdana 12 point.
Font Size

The larger, the better. Remember, your slides must be readable, even at the back of the room.

Font Size

What does this say? Garamond Font, Italic, Bold 12pt.

This is very difficult to read. Times Font, Bold, 12pt.
This point could be lost. Century Gothic Font, Bold, Italic, 14pt.
No one will be able to read this. Gill Sans Font, Condensed Bold, 12pt
Combining small font sizes with bold or italics is not recommended:
Small fonts are okay for a footer, such as:

Don’t Sacrifice Readability for Style

Caps and Italics

DO NOT USE ALL CAPITAL LETTERS
Makes text hard to read
Conceals acronyms
Denies their use for EMPHASIS
Italics
Used for “quotes”
Used to highlight thoughts or ideas
Used for book, journal, or magazine titles
Use a Template

Use a set font and color scheme.
Different styles are disconcerting to the audience.
You want the audience to focus on what you present, not the way you present.
Use the Same Background
on Each Slide

Don’t use multiple backgrounds in your presentation
Changing the style is distracting
Colors

Reds and oranges are high-energy but can be difficult to stay focused on.
Greens, blues, and browns are mellower, but not as attention grabbing.
Reds and Greens can be difficult to see for those who are color blind.
Avoid These Combinations

Examples:
Green on Blue
Dark Yellow on Green
Purple on Blue
Orange on Green
Red on Green
Colors

White on dark background should not be used if audience is more than 20 ft away.
This set of slides is a good example.
You can read the slides up close.
The further away you get, the harder it is to read.
This is a good color combination if viewed on a computer.
A dark background on a computer screen reduces glare.
Colors

Large Hall Events
Avoid White Backgrounds
The white screen can be blinding in a dark room
Dark Slides with Light Colored Text Work Best
The Color Wheel

Colors separated by another color are contrasting colors (complementary)
Adjacent colors harmonize with one another (Green and Yellow)
Colors directly opposite one another are said to CLASH
Clashing colors provide readability
Orange on Blue
This is a good mix of colors. Readable!

Background Colors

Remember: Readability! Readability! Readability!

This is a bad mix of colors. Low contrast.

Unreadable!

This is a good mix of

colors. Readable!

This is a bad mix of

colors. Avoid bright

colors on white.

Unreadable!

Graphs and Charts

Make sure the audience can read them!

Avoid using graphics that are difficult to read. In this example, the bright colors on a white background and the small font make the graph hard to read. It would be very difficult to see, especially in the back of a room.

Graphics and Charts

This graph contains too much information in an unreadable format.

Illustrations

Use only when needed, otherwise they become distracters instead of communicators
They should relate to the message and help make a point
Ask yourself if it makes the message clearer
Simple diagrams are great communicators
Limit Each Slide to One Idea

Use Bullet Points to Cover Components of Each Idea
Bullets

Keep each bullet to 1 line, 2 at the most
Limit the number of bullets in a screen to 6, 4 if there is a large title, logo, picture, etc.
This is known as “cueing”
You want to “cue” the audience on what you’re going to say
Cues are a a brief “preview”
Gives the audience a “framework” to build upon
Bullets (con.)

If you crowd too much text, the audience won’t read it
Too much text looks busy and is hard to read
Why read it, when you’re going to tell them what it says?
Our reading speed does not match our listening speed; hence, they confuse instead of reinforce
Points to Remember

Limit each slide to 1 idea
Limit each bullet point to only a few words to avoid long sentences that go on and on!
Limit animation – Too much animation can be distracting. Be consistent with animation and have all text and photos appear on the screen the same way each time. There are many animation modes to choose from, but it is best to use just one throughout.
Do not do this!
Limit Bullet Points

To a few words

Points to Remember

Keep bullet points brief
Use the same background for each slide
Use dark slides with light colored text in large hall events
Avoid the “All Word” Slide

Another thing to avoid is the use of a large block paragraph to introduce your information. Attendees do not like to have what is on the screen, read to them verbatim. So, please use short, bulleted statements and avoid typing out your whole presentation on to the slides. Also, it is difficult for some to listen and read a large amount of text at the same time.

Don’t

To make a slide stand out, change the font, background, or add animation.
Limit Animation

Use the same animation throughout the entire presentation
Using more than one can be very distracting
The audience will only see the animation and not the message you’re trying to get across
!

Bam!

Don’t

Limit Animation

Use the same animation throughout the entire presentation
Using more than one can be very distracting
The audience will only see the animation and not the message you’re trying to get across
!

YOU

Do not use the media to hide you
The audience came to SEE you
The media should ENHANCE the presentation, not BE the presentation
If you’re only going to read from the slides, then just send them the slides!
Remember, only you can prevent
“Death by PowerPoint”
