Stakeholder meeting in Brussels
Mainstreaming OSH into education
« | 1 | 2 | »
The overall conclusions were:
  • That a combined approach where risk education takes place within the context of health and safety management for staff and pupils should be supported (whole school approach) to promote a safety culture within education establishments.
  • That risk education is from nursery to university and then into the workplace – a life-long learning approach is needed.
  • That we must be precise, realistic and practical regarding what we want to achieve with risk education. School curricula are overcrowded and there are time and resources constraints.
  • That actions must be based on analysis - what works well and what is achievable in practice.
  • That cooperation and synergies must be developed. Actions must be based on consultation with stakeholders. Social partners must be included in the consultation process.
  • That if the European Commission were to propose a resolution or recommendation on mainstreaming OSH into education, this would be very much welcomed.

Interactive session

Within small groups the participants discussed the following topics:
  1. A whole school / whole university approach is highly recommended to mainstream health and safety successfully into education. Please define three priorities to make such an approach a success. Please identify three obstacles.
  2. Today you are asked to create a wish list for a policy development. Please agree on three steps that should be undertaken first at the policy level.

The interactive session was chaired by Ulrike Bollmann, DGUV.
