OSH and education: start young - stay safe
 |
Integrating or 'mainstreaming' OSH into education forms a key part of developing a prevention culture by teaching children and young adults to live and work safely. The Agencys work in this area supports the recent Commission Strategy on Safety and Health, which recommends education be part and parcel of the school curriculum, either with a view to making people more aware of the problem (much like road safety is taught in some countries) or as a vocational subject in its own right". This feature will be continually updated as a key element in the Agency's efforts to contribute to a European prevention culture. |
