Abstract

In order to promote insight into providing secure teaching and learning environments within schools, this study sought to: (a) explore instructional practices utilized by educators to promote occupational safety and health (OSH) and hearing protection within career and technical education programs; and (b) identify what barriers may exist which prevent instructors from teaching OSH and hearing protection. Utilizing a focus group methodology, this research examined automotive and diesel technology instructors within an eastern US state. Upon analysis, safety appears to be a priority for participants in this study. However, the results suggested areas in need of improvement. The conclusions would be useful to OSH professionals, workforce development educators and leaders interested in application of enhanced OSH practices.
