The European Network Education and Training in Occupational Safety and Health (ENETOSH) is going to carry out a special network event during the Belgian OSH week. The network event will be part of a conference under the Belgian Presidency.
Violence is a challenge that is getting more and more important for teachers and trainers. The event will present different scenarios of violence in educational establishments, especially at school. The new Multi-sectoral guidelines to tackle third-party violence and harassment related to work will be introduced. In addition the ETUCE Action Plan on Preventing and Tackling Violence in Schools will be presented. Finally good practice, like the whole school approach, will exemplify how to cope with the challenge of violence.
The event wil take place on 26. November 2010, 9:00-11:00 o’clock at the
Square Conference Centre / European Parliament.

This question was investigated in an empirical study carried out by Dresden University of Technology on behalf of the IAG between April 2008 and May 2010. The study was carried out to assess the validity of and further develop the competence standard that was set up within the framework of the EU project ENETOSH in 2007.
Following this study, overviews and checklists for each competence field are available to instructors and trainers including knowledge requirements and behaviour-related requirements (skills and wider competencies). Each competence field is assigned to one of the performance levels of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF).
The ENETOSH Standard has been re-launched on 9th September at the WorkingOnSafety.net Conference, 8-10 September 2010, in Røros, Norway: www.wos2010.no
All documents of the validated standard are now available for download (in English and in German) on this platform, as well as more information on the validation study. Please choose "ENETOSH Standard" from the main menu on the left.

“Transferring the fire of our event into practice” was the motto of the 10th Training & Innovation event, which took place from 20 – 21 May 2010 at the DGUV Akademie in Dresden and was attended by a total of 65 participants from Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Denmark and Canada. Representatives of accident insurance providers came together with participants from companies, universities, ministries and other public institutions as well as private providers of training, research and consultancy to have a frank and high-level exchange of ideas on how to make sure that seminars and training sessions have a more sustainable impact in practice.
