Course A9711987

Becoming a safety and health professional requires multidisciplinary training. The OSH profession calls for a broad-based educational background combined with specialized knowledge of aspects of the physical sciences (medicine, physics, chemistry and engineering) and social sciences (behaviour, motivation and communication), and the principles and concepts of management. Many professionals need to update their competences in these fields. To meet this need, the International Training Centre of the International Labour Organization (ITCILO) is offering a distance-learning course on OSH, delivered via an internet-based platform. The proposed programme will incorporate the ILO's international experience of OSH and, where methodology is concerned, the ITCILO's international training experience.Becoming a safety and health professional requires multidisciplinary training.
