The International Labour Organization (1982) standards on occupational safety and health constitution introduced the standard that workers should be protected from sickness and injury emanating from their employment. The United States, Britain, and Botswana adopted the principle and designed rules for risk reduction at work. The British education system assigned the British Local Education Authority responsibility for the health and safety of school members, including learners. Similarly, the U.S. Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) (2007) advised schools on health and safety issues. The argument differs from that of Botswana, where the focus is on selected economy sectors exclusive of school environments. Although the Republic of Botswana Revised Policy on Education (1994) is silent on this subject, the Curriculum Development and Evaluation Department (CDED, 2002, 2005) developed an initiative that included a module on "health and safety" in the Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA) syllabus. This module is an amalgamation of discrete components: namely, physical education, music, design, technology, home economics, drama, and dance. The module advises teachers to sensitize pupils to common hazards in the school and properly dispose of hazardous supplies to reduce risk and injury. The Center for Educator Development in Fine Arts (1999-2018) in the US thus recommends classroom practices to ensure the safety of learners and teachers. It is in this context that the qualitative study investigated the extent to which the "health and safety" module was implemented in primary school art and design lessons in four selected schools in Botswana.
