ENETOSH Standard of Competence for Instructors and Trainers in Safety and Health

Abstract

The ENETOSH Standard of Competence for Instructors and Trainers in Safety and Health was developed as part of a project funded by the European Commission (LEONARDO DA VINCI, 146 253, 10/2005 – 09/2007). The aim of the project was to set up a “European Network Education and Training in Occupational Safety and Health” (ENETOSH). The development of the standard of competence was one of the work packages on the project, in which 13 partners from 10 countries participated. The project was coordinated by the Institute for Work and Health, part of the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV). ENETOSH offers a Europe-wide and international platform, via which knowledge and experience in the area of education and training in safety and health can be shared in a systematic manner. It includes, for example, a database with almost 600 examples of good practice from 38 countries plus international forums for discussion between participants. The network is aimed at all staff engaged in education and training on all levels of the educational system. In 2011, the ENETOSH network consisted of 57 members and partners from 23 European countries plus South Korea and USA. The IAG remains responsible for its coordination.Values and TechnologyTechnology, Policy and Managemen
