OSH Education in Career Technical Education—Discussion • What issues, barriers or gaps do we share? • Are there additional barriers or issues you
face? • What models or resources do you have or
know of that promote foundational critical thinking skills in CTE settings?

Career Technical Education in the U.S. • 13% of secondary school credits in CTE • 1100 post-secondary 2-year technical schools
and community colleges (8.5 million students) • Funded by state and federal dollars • Systems vary enormously from state to state

16 Industry Sectors/Career Clusters
• Each sector has 3 to 7 career pathways • Example: Building and Construction Trades
(CA) Ø Cabinetry, Millwork, and Woodworking Ø Engineering and Heavy Construction Ø Mechanical Systems Installation and
Repair Ø Residential and Commercial Construction

Instructors know OSH training is needed • 7% of workforce; 25% of
workplace fatalities • New and young workers • Most not affiliated with
formal apprenticeship programs
• Most going into non-union residential construction
![Page 9: Implementing Workplace Safety & Health Training …Implementing Workplace Safety & Health Training in Career and Technical Education in the U.S. Diane Bush, MPH Labor Occupational](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062505/5ebe51ce49f9684c253ba9c6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Learning Standards
• Education agencies influence secondary level programs
• Industry standards and certifications influence post-secondary level programs
![Page 10: Implementing Workplace Safety & Health Training …Implementing Workplace Safety & Health Training in Career and Technical Education in the U.S. Diane Bush, MPH Labor Occupational](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062505/5ebe51ce49f9684c253ba9c6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Current OSH Training in Construction CTE • Least: 4-6 hours at secondary level • Most: 140 hours in multi-year
apprenticeship • CTE postsecondary: 20-40 hours
Ø OSHA-10 Ø 10-30 hours specific shop and tool safety
Ø Industry Advisory committees
![Page 11: Implementing Workplace Safety & Health Training …Implementing Workplace Safety & Health Training in Career and Technical Education in the U.S. Diane Bush, MPH Labor Occupational](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062505/5ebe51ce49f9684c253ba9c6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
OSHA-10 • 10-hour introduction to health and safety • OSHA authorizes trainers • OSHA determines content
Ø Rights and employer responsibilities Ø Identification and control of key hazards
• Participants receive OSHA-10 card (no required test)
• Almost universally used in construction CTE programs
• 7 states currently require OSHA-10 card for workers on public construction projects
![Page 12: Implementing Workplace Safety & Health Training …Implementing Workplace Safety & Health Training in Career and Technical Education in the U.S. Diane Bush, MPH Labor Occupational](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062505/5ebe51ce49f9684c253ba9c6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Best Practices • NIOSH Talking Safety
curriculum (secondary level)
• Hands-on practice • Conduct demonstrations • Students conduct safety
inspections • Group work/problem-
solving
![Page 13: Implementing Workplace Safety & Health Training …Implementing Workplace Safety & Health Training in Career and Technical Education in the U.S. Diane Bush, MPH Labor Occupational](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062505/5ebe51ce49f9684c253ba9c6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Barriers to OSH Integration
• Instructors have limited time to prepare
• Lack of class time to teach in participatory ways
• Instructors lack training in effective teaching skills
• Students have broad range of academic preparation
• No universal CTE system = no systematic way to integrate OSH
![Page 14: Implementing Workplace Safety & Health Training …Implementing Workplace Safety & Health Training in Career and Technical Education in the U.S. Diane Bush, MPH Labor Occupational](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062505/5ebe51ce49f9684c253ba9c6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
OSH Curriculum and Resources Needed
• Instructional material that is “ready to go” but easily adaptable
• Instructional material on communication and problem-solving
• Online resources • Mechanisms to share
new resources
![Page 15: Implementing Workplace Safety & Health Training …Implementing Workplace Safety & Health Training in Career and Technical Education in the U.S. Diane Bush, MPH Labor Occupational](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062505/5ebe51ce49f9684c253ba9c6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Recommendations 1. Strengthen standards for OSH skill
development. 2. Promote critical thinking/problem-solving
OSH skills. 3. Develop model “OSHA 10-plus” curriculum. 4. System for instructors to share best practices
and resources. 5. Strengthen industry advisory committee “pull”
for safety.
