neutral  Yakov Tomara: "Health & Safety" is taught at school now and as a rule isn't directly connected with occupational safety, which is taught at universities. It's general safety and life protection issues.

Vital Activity Safety


Explanation:
Как мне объяснила моя дочка, на этом уроке их учат как себя вести в определенных критических ситуациях. Я постарался более-менее точно выразить то, что она сказала мне на молодежном сленге. :o)

Health and Safety / Health & Safety"


Explanation:
AFAIK it's the most common English term equivalent to the Russian phrase in question.

Over 136,000 hits by AltaVista within .uk domain only.

Very widely used in the names of courses in school and university curricula.

It was said by Yakov Tomara in peer comment, so it's not my idea, therefore it's not fot grading (just in case) :)

neutral  Yakov Tomara: Thank you very much for the support. I've used this descriptive phrase in my comment and not in my answer because I'd never seen it used as a name of a school/university subject.
18 hrs
  -> Although it's not used n the name of a subject, I think it perfectly reflects the whole idea :) That's why I put it separately as it, together with other answers, may help in finding the perfect term :)

life safety and survival skills


Explanation:
When I went to school, we had this subject called ОБЖ (Основы безопасности жизнедеятельности). I would imagine it's the same subject as the one your're referring to. So probably as a translation of an education record I would suggest something like 'Basic life safety and survival skills'.
