Susanne Ulk from the ENETOSH network participated in the conference “Proteger 2016 - 5th Safety & Security Conference” with a presentation on the ENETOSH project.
Proteger 2016 took place in the Estoril Congress Center 18. – 20. October, and the organizer was The Portuguese Safety and Health Association, APSEI.
The purpose for ENETOSH participation was to emphasise the importance of international cooperation and knowledge-sharing on issues concerning education and training in occupational safety and health. The Good Practise Examples GPE´s) were enhanced as examples on knowledge sharing. The ENETOSH Standard of Competence for Instructors and Trainers in Safety and Health was highlighted as well.
The subsequent discussion showed general concensus: Networking and international cooperation are important issues. And when it comes to mainstreaming OSH into education and training, ENETOSH is the appropriate choice for networking. As regards to teaching and didactics you do not need to reinvent the wheel, you can get ideas and inspiration from other countries, the cultural diversity taken into consideration.
