Where Are Teens Injured? Restaurant: 38% Grocery: 8% Other retail: 8% While only 5% of teens work in Ag, and it accounts for only 7% of injuries, 40% of teens who died were working in agriculture!
NIOSH New & Young Worker Project: Began In 2001 Phase 1: Contract effort competitively awarded to the National Safety Council 1. Collect, review, and assess existing OSH curricula, material, & approaches from national and international sources 2. Collect information from stakeholders 3. Prepare a report recommending “core” OSH topics needed by all new workers (including teens)
Final Report: Aug. 9, 2002 § Completed internal and external review § Used as a springboard to propose additional work (both intramural and extramural funding)— more pending. . . § Used as a starting point for collaborative efforts with national partners
National Association of State Directors of Career Technical Education Consortium § Career Clusters Initiative: may reach many/most students in some states. “Can NIOSH & OSHA help us determine occupational safety and health foundation skills appropriate for all clusters? ”
Career Clusters: A Partnership Between Educators & Employers www. careerclusters. org § Ag & natural resources § Architecture & Construction § Arts, AV, & Communications § Business management and administration § Education & Training § Transportation, distribution, logistics § Finance § Health Sciences § Government and public administration § Hospitality & Tourism § Human Services § Info. Technology § Law, public safety & security § Manufacturing § Marketing, sales & service § Science, technology, engineering, mathematics
Small Working Group Formed 1. Establish shared project objectives (NIOSH, NASDCTEc, OSHA, NIU, SIU, Texas A&M, U. of Cincinnati, and others on various topics. . . )
Agree on Cross-Cutting K&S 2. Reach agreement on cross-cutting OSH knowledge and skills- 5 goals Appropriate For All Career Clusters
ID Existing Curriculum 3. Help Career Clusters developers to identify existing curriculum resources that match the K&S we jointly selected as “core”. Create new curriculum as needed to fill gaps. § Ongoing now- First draft of complete materials arrived at NIOSH this week.
Pilot Test 4. With state partners, test curricula within a sample of collaborating states- begin in 2004.
What Then? 1. NIOSH will help disseminate OSH Foundation K&S and curriculum via web, electronic, and print 2. Publish research & recommendations 3. Partner in support of further “diffusion of innovation” : § Education groups/ School Principals/ academia § Labor/trade/industry groups/other government agencies § Youth organizations § Community groups
Goal 1 § Knowledge and positive attitudes regarding OSH ü Understand risk, susceptibility, impact on life ü Value workplace safety ü Believe every person can contribute to OSH
Goal 2 § Understand rights and responsibilities ü Workers’ rights ü Workers’ responsibilities (follow rules & procedures, reporting, recording) ü Employers’ responsibilities (safe workplace, training, hours & wages, etc)
Goal 3 § Hazard Recognition ü Types of hazards (chem, physical, bio. . . ) ü Sources of information about hazards v. Within workplaces (MSDS, labels, job aids, . . . ) v. From sources external to workplaces (OSHA, NIOSH, manufacturers, publications, providers of services, etc. . . )
Goal 4 § Hazard Control: How to find information and how to seek help/ communicate about it. ü Categories of hazard control vremove the hazard vminimize the hazard vprotect yourself
Goal 5 § Understand your role in emergency response ü Types of emergencies ü Types of plans. . who is in charge? ü Who do you notify and how? ü How do you get out, get help, or shelter in place?
Samples of Activities
True Case Histories § Raise Awareness § Improve Risk Perception § Stimulate critical thinking and problem solving
