Abstract—Advanced countries aim to integrate health and safety training at all educational stages. Research suggests that providing teachers with basic training in health, safety, and risk prevention before they begin teaching could help achieve this goal. Therefore, it is recommended that the preparation of schoolteachers should begin as early as the undergraduate level. This study presents a comprehensive review of the subjects, contents, and curricular elements related to health, security, and risk prevention in Primary Education and Early Childhood Education degrees offered by Spanish public universities (33 universities that met the pre-established requirements were included). The results indicate that most Spanish public universities do not provide sufficient coverage of basic training in health, safety, and risk prevention for future primary and early childhood education teachers in their degree programs.
