Training teachers to deliver risk education – Examples of mainstreaming OSH into teacher training programmes
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.
