Introduction

This is the second lesson of four regarding Pre-Job Skills Training (PST):

The final lesson, Job Handbook, will include a project that will bring all the previously learned lessons together.

Note: These lessons work best after using the lessons from "Guppy Tank: No Business Too Small STEM Integrated Project."

Federal law establishes certain safety standards and restrictions for young workers.

 This lesson plan helps students to understand their rights as a worker, recognize the work of the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA), how to recognize a healthy work environment and who to report safety problems to. This is crucial for students to learn and be aware of to keep students safe on the job.
