ABSTRACT
This study was an assessment of how students observe safety and health practices in the Mechanical workshops of Cape Coast technical institute. Questionnaires comprising both open and closed ended items were employed to collect data from70 students from cape coast technical institute. A descriptive research design of the survey type was adopted for this study.Data collected were analysed with the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) Version 16 for windows. The results showed that the students had fair knowledge of the safety regulations guiding the operations of the various equipment and machines used during practical sessions in the workshops. Also the results indicated that students had good knowledge about safety practices in the workshops. However, few students adhered to safety precautions whenever they are undertakinga practical lesson. The researcher recommends that since safety is a core component in the teaching and learning activities of Technical Institutes; and also as a serious matter in the world of work, it must be made part of the daily activities of the students.
