Mechanism

The management should analyse the national market for occupational safety and health training and seminars and take the results into account when designing the training programme.
The management should conduct analysis to define the most appropriate form for training sessions or workshops, and where and how best to conduct them. This will be influenced by the topic, target group, duration of the course and travel time for the participants. Training might be given in the institution’s own training centre, regional academies or hotels, as in-house training or as e-learning.
The training unit should offer seminars, workshops or conferences free of charge for all relevant prevention stakeholders among the institution’s members, including employers, managers, safety specialists, safety representatives, occupational safety and health experts, physicians, machinery and plant operators and employees with a role in occupational safety and health.
Seminars should be promoted and provided free of charge.
The training unit should develop a curriculum and standardized training material for all training courses to ensure good quality and economize on resources. E-learning tools may be included, if feasible.
The training unit should systematically evaluate the effectiveness of training events and participants’ feedback in order to promote continuous improvement and guarantee the quality of training services.
The training unit should offer ongoing support to participants after a training event.
