The article presents safety and liability advice for career and technical education (CTE) educators, administrators and students. According to Frantz and others, it is important for instructors in career and technical education programs to demonstrate a commitment to ensuring the welfare of their students by implementing a comprehensive plan for safety and accident prevention. In addition, the CTE facility must meet all federal, state, and local standards, including provisions delineated in the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). Students must also be trained regarding "Worker's Right to Know Laws" that mandate that information concerning exposure to hazardous substances should be available to them.
