The new Youth@Work–Talking Safety is a fun, free and engaging curriculum that helps teachers and school/community-based job placement staff educate young people about the basics of job safety and health. The curriculum presents essential information and career-readiness skills through a focus on eight core competencies. Originally developed by LOHP and other partners for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, it is designed for teachers in work-based learning programs. It provides interactive activities and tools teachers can use with youth on how to identify and address job hazards, and how to take action when rights are violated or workers have concerns.
The Talking Safety curriculum is hosted on the NIOSH website and has been customized for each state.
