Mainstreaming occupational safety and health in education. Good practice in school and vocational education

The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) started its project 'Mainstreaming occupational safety and health into education' in 2002 with the slogan 'Start young, stay safe'. This report gives a comprehensive overview of good practice examples throughout Europe and outlines steps toward a systematic strategy to integrate occupational safety and health into education at European level. There is a general description of 36 good practice examples from Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Of these, 14 examples are presented in detail as case studies. The report covers all stages of education until the end of compulsory education, as well as vocational education.
