MALTA
REACHING OUT! – From School to work, prepared for the Change
The project is motivated from our willingness to support and actively participate in the European Week for Safety and
Health at Work 2006 – “Young People at Work”. The project aims to Unite in Malta as a hub coordinating country a
number of Health and Safety Educators, practitioners, employers, learners (school leavers and their parents/ responsible
adults) and other stakeholders from representative institutions within the European Union. The group target is to develop
and put in practice an 8 hour preparatory Occupational Safety and Health Course mainly underlying how to prevent
accidents at work to an early prevention culture. The preparatory course targeted audiences are the learners The specific
learners are school leaving students including parents/ responsible adults, who apart from their inTelligence and
capabilities still did not manage to achieve academic qualifications or achieved the less in the last year at school before
entering into the world of work. The reason to focus on this particular group of learners are that the majority of students
that finish school with few or none academic qualifications are most of the times like in a natural process to terminate
their continuous learning and pre determined to work in environments and sectors involving tasks such as; working at
height. Safer and healthier workplaces are an asset for improving the quality of work in Europe – Education and training
in safety and Health Principles are a means to achieve.
