| Abstract |
A questionnaire survey of high school agricultural education instructors in Wisconsin, USA, revealed that nearly all devoted some time to health and safety related activities. Only a minority of instructors agreed that modifying the work to eliminate hazards should be emphasized over training people to work safely round hazards. Instructors faced problems of time pressures, lack of student interest, and need for materials and other resources. It was concluded that safety education alone is unlikely to reduce injuries unless unsafe conditions are modified; instructors need to emphasize teaching of skills in hazard recognition, identification and control. |
