This lesson introduces students to the skills needed to handle workplace accidents. First, use the briefing (found in Task 1) to teach students about this concept. Then, use the video (found in Task 2)  to spark classroom discussion. Then, have students conduct research and present their findings to the class. This briefing is a part of the Introduction to Management Course Guide. To download it, visit mbastatesconnection.mbaresearch.org and select "Course Guides" under "Curriculum and Instruction."

This video from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health focuses on real teens in the workplace in regard to health and safety. It goes over employer/employee rights and responsibilities and discusses some ways to keep workplaces safe in various situations.

In this group research project, students will select an industrial accident to research. They will also examine the OSHA regulations which weren't followed which could have contributed to the accident, as well as brainstorming possible ways the accident could have been avoided. Finally, students will find three workplace environments to examine using a Safety Quiz.
