Standards in education and training for safety and health at work

Eurropean perspectives, promising developments and examples of good practice How important are standards for education and training in occupational safety and health? That was the question explored by participants from 19 countries at the DGUV Academy in Dresden from 6 to 7 July 2007. The presentations and discussions addressed the factors that led to educational standards being developed at the European level and the activities involved, plus reallife examples from the international and national spheres. Particular attention was given to standards of competence for training programmes for lecturers and trainers. The event was staged by lead organiser, the European Network Education and Training in Occupational Safety and Health (ENETOSH), in cooperation with the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA). This report is based on the results of this conference. It covers the conference contributions, some of them revised, plus three additional papers
