Safety first! Safety first! A short video and a PowerPoint presentation introduce job seekers to child labor law awareness, safety standards, and ways to reduce workplace injuries. Class members first take a short workplace safety quiz to determine what they already know about the topic. They then research the hazards for an occupation or industry in which they are interested.
