Evaluation by IES

20. Nov 2014 /

In July, we reported about an impact evaluation of the Napo for Teachers initiative by EU-OSHA, conducted by the Institute for Employment Studies (IES), UK.
Napo for Teachers is a series of education toolkits for teachers, aimed at introducing health and safety topics to primary school children in an educational, yet fun and imaginative way using the Napo clips and creative activities. Now the evaluation entered the second stage: a teacher survey. The survey is available in 11 languages.
To take take part in the survey, please click here: Teacher survey about Napo for teachers. The survey will open in a new browser window. Please send an email to any teacher contacts you know with a link to the survey in addition. Thank you for your help!
Find out more about Napo for teachers on the website, more about the Institute for Employment Studies (IES) here.

International Youth Congress

A new generation in health and safety

04. Oct 2014 /

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”).

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!
