Title: The Government as Protector

Teachers: Eldridge, Wynne, Zacharias

Business: Goodrich

Description: In manufacturing, adherence to federal regulations dealing with the protection of both the workers and the consumers takes time, energy and financial resources. Often, these mandated protective measures do not have an obvious return on investment.  This 6-week unit is designed to familiarize high school students with three federal agencies - OSHA, FAA, and FDA - which exist to protect workers and consumers, and have relevance to workplace, school,  and home safety.
