OSH Education in Schools in the Context of STEM Curricula

Abstract

Continuous technological advances are forcing changes in students' education to develop the problem-solving and critical thinking skills needed throughout their studies, in the future workplace and beyond. They can acquire these skills through STEM education, which increases the qualifications of workers who can master the latest technologies and develop new knowledge. For this reason, it is crucial to include OSH education in the educational curriculum. The article aims to raise awareness among those who teach science and technology in schools about the importance of incorporating health and safety for students through STEM education. The article briefly overviews OSH legislation for those who teach in schools.
