Case studies and good practices
Case studies that document good practices and illustrate the benefits and lessons learnt of particular approaches or methods in real practice.
This report presents a range of different examples which involve training in-service and future teachers in either occupational safety and health (OSH) or in delivering risk education. While the aim was to explore training for teachers, some other alternatives are included, for example, the use of self-explanatory classroom materials for risk education, raising awareness of teachers through involving them in OSH art competitions for pupils, and training trainers for the workplace. The success factors seen in these cases on training teachers to provide risk education, as would be expected, concur with the general success factors seen in cases and current practice to promote risk education in schools
