This factsheet is based on a report presenting cases which involve training in-service and future teachers in either occupational safety and health (OSH) or in delivering risk education. Ideally, all teachers should receive training about OSH in their working lives and how to incorporate risk education into their daily work. If getting risk education properly embedded in the school curriculum is challenging, then it is even more difficult to get it into training programmes for future teachers. However, the cases present various approaches and methods that could be considered or elaborated upon.

This competition by the European Road Safety Charter ERSC addresses young people in Europe between the ages 18 and 29. Participants are supposed to become a road saftey blogger and might win a one-month internship in Barcelona.

The new report "Training teachers to deliver risk education – Examples of mainstreaming OSH into teacher training programmes" presents cases which involve training in-service and future teachers in either occupational safety and health (OSH) or in delivering risk education. Ideally, all teachers should receive training about OSH in their working lives and how to incorporate risk education into their daily work. If getting risk education properly embedded in the school curriculum is challenging, then it is even more difficult to get it into training programmes for future teachers. However, the cases present various approaches and methods that could be considered or elaborated upon.
Furthermore, a factsheet "Factsheet 103 - Strategies for training teachers to deliver risk education", based on this report, is available.

ENETOSH is an official partner of this campaign of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work. On 18. June, the Agency announced the first wave of official European campaign partners of its Healthy Workplaces Campaign 2012-2013, ‘Working together for risk prevention’. Among the 57 campaign partners is a wide range of organisations, including European social partners, both interprofessional and sectoral, multinational companies such as Pirelli for example, and non-profit, pan-European organisations representing different sectors, such as the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM).
The campaign theme for 2012-2013, ‘Working together for risk prevention’ through leadership and participation is highly valued by the organisations chosen to be campaign partners. The campaign encourages managers, workers, representatives and other stakeholders to work together to manage risks in the workplace. Many companies cited a belief that safe and healthy workplaces are integral to continued economic success and sustainable futures, and the willingness to bring these topics to the forefront of their company strategy to be able to better tackle them.
