This is excellent news, having been involved with the development of health and safety culture in local schools the sooner it becomes part of the National Carriculium the better.
We should also not forget the needs of Teaching Staff and School Governors etc as many have no background in Health and Safety.
Finally, we now need to get employers on board, IOD, CBI, FSB , Sector Skills Councils etc.

Dear Safety Professionals
As professionals we are always trying to prevent Accidents, Incidents etc taking place and we are always trying to ensure that Staff are kept fully informaed of the H&S Requirements.
Having had to deal with a couple of serious incidents during my career I can only but fully endorse this approach.
In fact we already take Sixth Form Students through a Health and Safety Induction programme before they go out on Work Placement.
However we started with the Board of Governors, then the Teachers along with other members of Staff, now we have got down to Students.
We are now in the process of meeting with a number of Schools to arrange our programme for the coming year 2008 - 2009 and this is being supported by their Insurance Broker.
The sooner this becomes part of the School Curriculum throughout the UK the better it will be for both Students and Employers.
It also up to Employers to fully endorse this approach and to come on board.
