Workshop educators have a legal duty with regard to health and safety in the school workshop for the protection of the learners in their care. It is expected of the workshop educators to look after the learners placed in their care as a conscientious and solicitous parent would. The workshop educator's discretion and conduct should always be based on predictable and preventable action. Because learners cannot possibly have the discernment of adults concerning more or less dangerous situations, the workshop educator should make provision for this possibility in the health and safety management of the school workshop. Common law principles such as duty of care, predictability and preventability, in addition to requirements for delictual liability (an act, unlawfulness, fault, causality and damage) demarcate and elucidate the role of the workshop educator who is responsible for the safety management of the school workshop. Workshop educators should ascertain that they are familiar with all these principles. A literature survey was undertaken with regard to these matters. Although workshop educators are responsible for the health and safety of the learners in their care, the literature survey revealed that health and safety in workshops in general is addressed and made compulsory by legislation, but that the specific needs of the school workshop are not adequately addressed. The aims of the empirical research were to determine: • the functioning of health and safety management in the contemporary school workshop and • to what extent the workshop educator is equipped for his duty of care responsibility with regards to the health and safety of the learners placed in his care. Questions were asked on the knowledge and execution of health and safety rules laid down by legislation, as well as the knowledge and execution of safety rules which are not necessarily laid down by legislation. Questions on safety rules devised by the respondents to improve the health and safety in the school workshop were also included in the questionnaire. The empirical study lead to the following: • The respondents seemed to have a reasonable knowledge of general health and safety rules laid down by legislation but in questions asked to verify the above mentioned answers, it seemed that the respondents were in some cases ignorant about these health and safety rules. Some of the respondents seem to ignore the safety rules in the execution of the health and safety rules. • A small number of the respondents seem to have a good knowledge of health and safety rules which are not necessarily laid down by legislation. • Quite a number of the respondents reported health and safety rules specifically devised for school workshops by their respective schools. Specific recommendations have been made and a model for health and safety management in the school workshop has been devised. This model should lead to better health and safety management in the school workshop and should thus ensure a safer school workshop for learners. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Education))--Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, 2003.

The purpose of this study was to locate, examine, classify and analyze lawsuits based on student injuries due to alleged negligence in public school physical education and athletic programs in the United States during the period of 1980 to 1984. A preliminary investigation of the American Digest System revealed appropriate case citations for this study. Each citation was used to locate the lawsuit in the respective regional reporter of the National Reporter System. Each case was thoroughly studied and reported. The analysis of cases revealed that 21 sports-injury lawsuits in physical education and 24 in athletic programs occurred during this time period. Twenty-one lawsuits involving playground or other injuries were also examined for related information. Each case was classified and discussed according to the primary area of alleged negligence. These primary areas included standard of care, adequacy of instruction, adequacy of supervision, adequacy and safety of facilities and equipment, adequacy and safety of protective equipment and other related areas. Of all of the cases discussed in this study, 23 were ruled in favor of the plaintiff, with 15 held for the defendant. The doctrine of governmental immunity was upheld in 28 of the cases. The legal liability of school districts and boards of education and that of physical education teachers and athletic coaches was determined from this analysis. The status of governmental immunity and current trends of the court decisions were also discussed. The study concluded with implications for the field and recommendations for further study. / Master of Science
