New Factsheet by EU-OSHA

Strategies for training teachers to deliver risk education

16. Sep 2012 /

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.
The factsheet can be downloaded here.

The campaign targets those between 14-25 years old, and employers who work with young people.
To reach the target group, the project uses all kinds of new media. A new website has been launched, offering lots of information for young people and employers, the campaign can be "liked" on Facebook and "followed" on Twitter, and now an online game called "The Missing" is available, as a browser game and as mobile apps for iPhone and Android users as well.
