International Youth Congress

In the scope of the XX World Congress in Frankfurt, the first International Youth Congress for Safety and Health at Work has been organized by the institution for statutory accident insurance and prevention in the wood and metal sector (BGHM) of the German Social Accident Insurance. 42 apprentices from different countries participated in the Youth Congress, talking, thinking, exchanging and developing ideas about safety and health at work. The outcome of the Youth Congress was immediately presented to the visitors of the Forum for Prevention and within a symposium at the XX World Congress.
Steve Horvath from the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety writes in his blog article about the Youth Congress: "One of the most meaningful events organized at the triennial World Congress on Health and Safety was the establishment of the first International Youth Congress. It was my honour to be involved with such a valuable initiative and to have the opportunity to introduce these young participants to the World Congress at the symposium I co-chaired and helped organize."
For more information, pictures and videos of the Youth Congress, please go to the Blog of Steve Horwath at CCOHS, the website of DGUV "Jugend will sich erleben (Youth wants self-experience)" - mostly in German - and the documentation of the World Congress (about the symposium "Creating a safe and healthy learning and working environment" and the “Forum for prevention”).
ENETOSH symposium at the XX World Congress 2014

More than 100 people coming from different regions of the world joined the ENETOSH symposium in Frankfurt.
The symposium was about the role of education for the development of a culture of prevention. To establish an effective culture of prevention all areas must be involved, not only the world of work but also the educational system and society as a whole. How can we can join all forces, that was the subject of the symposium.
Divided into three working groups the audience set out into searching solutions.
The method was: Ask questions!
To learn more about the symposium please have a look into the video clip "Prevention awareness from an early age” at the video portal within the documentation of the XX World Congress.

Application phase for 2015 started at Ludwig –Maximilians-Universität, Munich

The “Master International Occupational Safety and Health” has been developed by the Institute and Outpatient Clinic for Occupational, Social and Environmental Medicine of the University LMU, as part of the Center for International Health (CIHLMU) and in close collaboration with professionals from universities in Latin America, as for instance the University Cayetano Heredia.
The main objective of the Master International Occupational Safety and Health is to train professionals in the field of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH). Therefore, the program offers tools for research and work in OSH, both in Latin American countries as well as at an international level.
The graduate program offers an international and interdisciplinary training in global OSH with focus on project-based learning. The Master's program is based on a blended learning concept, in order to ensure maximum flexibility and efficiency. This blended learning concept involves a high ability of self-directed learning.
The application phase for the 4th cohort, starting in 2015, is open until the 15th of September 2014. For information and application, please visit the website of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich.

MLEARN - "Training teachers to use mobile (handheld) technologies within mainstream school education" is a project by Fondazione Mondo Digitale. MLEARN is a COMENIUS multilateral project that aims to introduce mobile technology (tablets) into schools. The project involves six partners in four countries: England, Greece, Italy and the Netherlands. MLEARN will reach at least 55 teachers across the partnership, teaching across 5 subject areas in 10 schools in each country (including primary, secondary and special), reaching at least 150 pupils in the pilot phase in each country. Technologies range from mobile phones to games consoles, low cost laptops to media players, social media platforms to media sharing networks and more, in a world, where learners are becoming more connected.
You will find all information on the project on the website of Fondazione Mondo Digitale.
A research report developed by the University of Lancaster - Centre for Technology Enhanced Learning - Department of Educational Research, in collaboration with the Fondazione Mondo Digitale and other partners has already been published on the website. The paper indicates that in general the four involved countries have a good experience in the use of technology (PCs, laptops, multimedia boards for didactics) and then turns to analyse the introduction of technology into schools.
A tailor-made approach in workers training

Kuzbass interdisciplinary Centre for Occupational Safety (Kutbasscot) released a new video presentation on worker accident prevention, "A tailored approach to OSH training based on interactive training complex".
According to statistics competence of workers is the most important factor to prevent occupational accidents. The lack of protective equipment and the usage of unsafe tools can be left in the background. The competence in occupational safety is the workers' ability to work independently, observing the occupational safety requirements. This ability is based on personality traits, knowledge, skills, habits of work and the experience in occupational safety.
Kuzbasscot developed new methods of workers' training, making use of video, 3d models and interactive multimedia during the occupational safety trainings. The aim of the approach is to shape the habit of safe work, to inspire the workers and to build their confidence that their personal competence will increase their safety.
This video shows the basic approach, as well as examples of the interactive training.
Call for Papers

This triennial International Congress on Occupational Health will take place from May 31 til June 5, 2015, at COEX Convention Center, Seoul, Korea.

Workers and their representatives, employers and their organizations, public and non-public organizations, manufacturers and importers of safety products, experts in communication and public relations, media representatives and journalists are all important as well, for widespread networking and to reach higher standards in the field of occupational safety and health all over the world.

ENETOSH official Partner

The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) has launched the Healthy Workplaces Campaign 2014 - 2015 "Healthy Workplaces Manage Stress".
The campaign focuses on stress and psychosocial risks. Tackling stress and psychosocial risks creates a healthy working environment, improves worker well-being and business performance. ENETOSH is an official campaign partner now and will focus on the growing problem of stress and psychosocial risks within the learning and working environment of educational institutions.
In addition the network will especially promote resources developed by EU-OSHA that can be used within the field of education and training on occupational safety and health. More information about the campaign on the official website: www.healthy-workplaces.eu
New edition of the European Road Safety Charter

The European Road Safety Charter (ERSC) has launched a new campaign: „Together, we are Road Safety!“ The new edition of the website contains lots of resources, materials and information on road safety, examples of good practice, road safety events, testimonials, and more.
The European Road Safety Charter is an invitation by the European Commission to take concrete actions, assess results and further heighten awareness about the need to reduce road accident fatalities. It offers European recognition to the associations that have signed up, and also makes the road safety actions they wish to carry out more visible on a European level.
The ERSC especially encourages members to develop initiatives targeting young people. Youth constitutes a key priority in the years to come, because road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death among people under 24 years old. Initiatives are supposed to address different target groups, such as children from 0 - 11 years, Pre-Teens from 12 - 14, Adolescents from 15 - 17, or young adults. Age groups that have the highest percentage of pedestrian fatalities are children younger than 10 years (and adults aged 65 years or older).
„Together, we are Road Safety!“ longs to address these target groups with accurate education and training to help reducing the number of accidents and fatalities on the road.
For examples of good practice dealing with road safety, please have a look at our "Hot Topic" (see main menu).
