Contribution

This article presents a theme that today is understood to be critical and is placing great importance since many sectors (government, enterprise, the trade unions, etc.) is the Occupational Safety and Health. The term "occupational safety and health" we refer to measures aimed at protecting the health and safety of players in any context job pretending they develop behaviors and attitudes characteristic of prevention in their own daily actions. One such measure, we understand fundamental is the "education and training in prevention." We talk about prevention from forming in the classroom/school considering that the knowledge of occupational safety and health and preventive culture must be present in the educational context for understanding education as the engine of change in a society that we want safe and healthy their behaviour and attitudes both personally and as professionally.

Method

The research method used is descriptive method. Specifically, the methodology used is called survey study. We have implemented various descriptive analysis (statistical central tendency and variability) of hypothesis testing in non-parametric (contingency tables with chi square test for two samples) and other multivariate analysis of complex interdependence such as factor analysis and simple correspondence analysis.

Expected Outcomes

Need to integrate and promote health at school from early educational levels, and that a culture of risk prevention must become an integral part of school curriculum that would enhance the training and preparation of students both in their daily life as a professional To say that the promotion of safety and health education should focus on reflection and thought of the actors involved, especially the teachers through their teaching experience, and so on., In the configuration of both relational and organizational space of the school and, in particular, aimed at strengthening relationships and healthy preventive behaviors Promote prevention education level should be conceived from a holistic approach. Give greater importance to subject the material aspects in designing an educational-preventive action plan in this area. Designing education and prevention together from organizational criteria, human and environmental relationships are created between them.
