from the project "Mind safety - safety matters!

This new brochure is available now on the website of Autoridade para as Condições do Trabalho (ACT), project coordinator of the project.
This publication is based on the General Principles of Prevention and aims to contribute to the promotion of a safety culture on workplaces, resulting from the need to reinforce OSH Education through collaboration and shared experiences, providing support for the teachers, and raising students' awareness about Safety and Health issues.
The contents presented in this document express the teamwork developed by a consortium of seven partners from 5 European countries (Czech Republic, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania and Spain) and is an output of the project “Mind Safety – Safety Matters!”
The project “Mind Safety-Safety Matters!” – funded by the Erasmus+ Programme – it is geared to in- service teachers and students ages 14 to 18 (lower/upper secondary levels). This option is supported by the fact that these students belong to an age-group which is concluding their learning cycles in general or vocational education, and are eventually about to enter the labour market.
The publication can be found here (in Spanish, link to the ACT website) and here (in English).
to OSHAfrica by CIEH

The Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH), Ireland, is getting rid of their stock and has donated the big number of 18.000 OSH training books to one of our member institutions, OSH Literacy. The books range from Level 1 - 3 (English language) and cover a variety of OSH related subjects. David Magee, CEO of OSH Literacy, asked ENETOSH to look for an organization that could be interested, and we were able to convey this big amount of OSH knowledge to OSHAfrica.
The books will be distributed equally across all the regions in Africa and will serve as a great resource for OSH practitioners, professionals and others involved in the practice of OSH. The Board of Trustees and the scientific committees of OSHAfrica will work out the logistics for the distribution across the continent.
At the moment, the shipping of the books is being arranged. David Magee, who is accredited to teach most of the CIEH programs, already offered to run some teacher/trainer training courses for teachers and trainers in Africa on how to effectively use/deliver the courses.

Building Competence in Risk Management of Future HSE Professionals

Main objective of this project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union is to develop relevant and high-quality competences of future HSE professionals in the area of RM through transnational cooperation among universities, insurance institutions, enterprises and other key stakeholders.
Project partners are VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava (project leader), University of Minho and Austrian Social Insurance for Occupational Risks.
The project is focused on building practical skills, incorporating management skills, of university students – future safety professionals (in industrial, consultancy and insurance companies as well as in governmental bodies) – in the area of HSE risk management. These skills will be developed through the set of innovative teaching methods (e.g. brainstorming, mind mapping, discussion and project methods) and tools (e.g. case studies and best practices examples, online risk assessment tools, safety games – table games and virtual reality games). Special attention will be paid to bringing close-to-real-world scenarios to the students and to active involvement (engagement) of students in teaching.
The methods and tools will be incorporated into existing subjects at the partner universities and new voluntary subject will be prepared incl. e-learning support for distant study. Furthermore, summer schools and module of industry trainee programme focused on HSE risk management will be prepared and organized in close cooperation with industry. Courses for university teachers on interactive teaching will be carried out.
