This article is Part 3 of our Safer Ed Career and Technical Education Safety Series. Read Part 1 and Part 2 to explore the foundations and data behind safe, sustainable CTE programs. Our final installment will outline district-wide solutions and strategies. 1. When “Safe-Looking” Tools Cause the Most Harm Ask someone to picture CTE hazards and they’ll imagine sparks, sawdust, or welding helmets. Yet national injury data shows that the most common classroom accident source isn’t industrial machinery—it’s hot glue guns. Because they look harmless, students treat them casually. That false sense of safety leads to frequent burns and mishandling. In multiple national and regional studies, hot glue guns, soldering irons, and handheld cutters caused more injuries than bandsaws or jointers. “Students will walk cautiously around a Powermatic saw,” one teacher said, “but they’ll wave a hot-glue gun around like it’s a toy.” The takeaway: risk perception drives behavior. When …
