Curriculum improves adolescents’ workplace safety knowledge, attitudes, and intention to engage in safety activities
After receiving instruction on the Talking Safetycurriculum, adolescents participating in a NIOSH study scored statistically significantly higher on measures of workplace safety and health knowledge, attitude, and intention to engage in workplace safety activities.
U.S. adolescents (< 18 years) experience a higher rate of job-related injuries compared with adults. Safety education is considered critical to the prevention of these incidents.
