HSE chair Judith Hackitt said children needed to learn how to manage risk.
[HSE = Health & Safety Executive - the English sort-of cognate to OSHA]
Wow - what a concept!
Nearly half of teachers believe the health and safety culture in schools is damaging children's learning and development, a survey suggests.
When questioned by Teachers TV, teachers complained about a five-page briefing on using glue sticks and being told to wear goggles to put up posters.
I am curious about whether the 'five page briefing' was actually an MSDS...
