Workplace Safety: Your Rights and Obligations
Maybe they weren’t trained. Maybe they were afraid to ask questions. Or maybe they just didn’t know what questions to ask. But every year, young workers are hurt, disabled, and killed because they don’t know their rights and obligations as employees.

Basic precautions such as hardhats, goggles, and gloves are stressed, along with the vital importance of employee/employer communication. Government labor codes are addressed. The story of a 19-year-old who burned to death on the job adds a critical immediacy to the program. (22 minutes)

According to insurance statistics, distracted drivers are responsible for almost 80 percent of all car crashes and 65 percent of near-collisions in the United States. This video helps students steer clear of the dangers resulting from driving while texting, talking on cell phones, eating, smoking, and other distractions. Forgoing the traditional host-and-interview format, the program uses conversations with teens and college students who share their thoughts on the subject while driving instructors and other educators explore safe driving methods. In addition, people with firsthand knowledge—such as emergency room personnel and car crash survivors—offer their cautionary advice. Viewable/printable discussion questions are available online.
Nicotine, alcohol, and gambling—three very common addictions—are among the most preventable causes of premature death through illness or suicide in the U.S. In this program, doctors from Brown University’s School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School talk with host Kat Carney about the psychological, physiological, and genetic components of addiction while considering treatments such as hypnotherapy, Naltrexone therapy, and experimental vaccines. Some of the medical outcomes of addiction, including lung cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, and clinical depression, are also discussed, as well as a new form of dependency: addiction to the Internet.
