"Training & Innovation" started out in 2001 as a meeting place for trainers from Germany's "Berufsgenossenschaft" institutions. Under ENETOSH's aegis, it has evolved into an international forum for sharing knowledge and experience in the area of education and training in safety and health.

Since 2004, the event has been organised in cooperation with the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work.

"Training & Innovation" is mainly about innovative educational methods with which to promote OSH knowledge transfer. However, ENETOSH expanded the concept by including mainstreaming of safety and health into education and training as an additional goal.

"Training and Innovation" is aimed at anyone concerned with safety and health in education and training: staff in day
nurseries, teachers, lecturers and political decision makers seeking to promote the mainstreaming of safety and health into
educational programmes and institutions.

The results are recorded on the internet on the DGUV website (DE) and the ENETOSH web platform (EN) - details see below. A separate report was published for Training & Innovation 2007.

Each "Training & Innovation" is a milestone in the joint effort to improve the quality of education and training in occupational safety and health and to promote the mainstreaming of safety and health into Europe's education systems.

20 – 21 May 2010, DGUV Congress Centre, Dresden
Education and training are an important basis for a successful transfer of health and safety into practice. But, the transfer of knowledge into practice is difficult. US studies estimate a transfer quota of 10 % only.
The 10th Training & Innovation event will show different ways to improve the sustainability of education and training measures.

This conference with 64 participants from 17 countries, organized by the Institute Work and Health of the German Social Accident Insurance, took place from the 3rd till the 5th of July 2008 at the BGAG, Dresden.
