Safety is always a priority in the classroom, but it can sometimes be a challenge to work it into your instructional plans. WorkSafeBC has created a series of 6-minute safety talks for students in apprenticeship programs. They're designed to be given at the beginning of a class - or anywhere else they fit into the schedule.
For each topic, we've provided a student handout and an instructor's guide with suggested resources.
The program was piloted in several Richmond schools. See what students and teachers
had to say about it in this video
(6 minutes 30 seconds).
