Health and safety for schoolchildren

A series of occupational safety and health education toolkits for teachers, aimed at introducing health and safety topics to primary school children are now available.

The toolkits, use the Napo clips and creative activities, and have been produced in a joint venture between EU-OSHA, the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, together with the Napo Consortium.

There a two target ages: seven to nine-years-old and nine to 11-years-old.

The education toolkits feature full instructions, suggested activities and accompanying downloadable resources, to provide teachers and educators support and guidance on incorporating occupation safety and health messages into the curriculum.

The flexible lessons are designed to fit alongside current curriculum subjects to reinforce and assist in their teaching. These include:

•  personal health and social education;

• science;

• road safety;

• language learning; and

• arts.

Each study pack outlines the key messages and learning objectives, offering teachers full details on suggested activity ideas and the resources required, alongside a sample lesson plan that can be readily incorporated into a typical 40-minute lesson.
