This study determined the workability of Safety Education and Training for Workers' strategy in reducing accidents. A descriptive survey research design was used. A total of 20 Managerial staff with mean work experience of 13.5 years was selected from 10 manufacturing industries in Lagos State, using intact group method. They were 100% males. Data gathering tools were validated, self-developed questionnaire and accident data recorded in the industries, 12 months before and 12 months after the implementation of safety education and training for workers' programme. Data were treated using percentage and correlation analysis. Results indicated that the obtained r = 0.692 is less than r table (.707); df6 at .05 significance level, meaning that there is no significant positive relationship between pre-post intervention accident data in the industries. It was concluded that Safety Education and Training for Workers' strategy is not effective in reducing accidents in the industries. More researches and use of multiple safety programmes were suggested.

the two local government areas for the study. This was complemented with focus group discussion conducted with
20 (twenty) parents currently teaching in 8 secondary schools in the local government area of the study. Four
research hypotheses were generated based on attitudinal topical areas. A self developed questionnaire and validated
for its reliability at R = 0.86 was used to elicit responses from the participants. Data collected were coded and
analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study revealed that some the four variables were significant. Based on the
findings of the study, parents should be groomed on the importance of having interest in the adolelescent sexuality
issue. This should be done through mass media, conferences and workshops. Government should make the course on
adolescent reproductive health compulsory in all schools. Enlightenment campaign by NGO by other stake holders

This study examined the knowledge and risk behaviours on HIV/AIDS of students in colleges of Education in Edo State. The study sampled 1600 students (male and female) from two colleges of Education. A descriptive survey was adopted for the study using stratified random sampling techniques. A self-developed questionnaire served as data collection tool. The data analysis was done using descriptive statistics of frequencies and percentages, while t-test and multiple regression analyses were used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. Result showed that many of the students both males and females in these colleges still do not have enough knowledge about HIV/AIDS. Misinformation about HIV/AIDS prevention still persists and pronounced among the students despite all the efforts of the national and international organizations. There is need for HIV/AIDS education in all Colleges of Education and other tertiary institutions in Nigeria to be taken more seriously. Despite the high level of knowledge of some of the students, their risky-behaviour has not changed as expected.
