Development of Vocational Health and Safety Skills

27th May at 9-11

Organiser: Skills Finland
Language: English
Target group: teachers, developers, visitors of WorldSkills Competition and everyone interested in occupational health and safety, development of vocational education and training, and vocational skills competitions.
Chairperson/Contact: Ms. Riikka Ruotsala, Skills Finland, riikka.ruotsala@skillsfinland.com

Exemplary management of occupational health and safety (OHS) communicates an important message about vocational skills: top skills and craftsmanship mean not only that the work is performed quickly and carefully but that it is done safely, without putting one’s own or other people’s safety or health at risk.

The aim of the seminar is to discuss how safety culture can be promoted in the field of vocational education and training and vocational skills competition. The objective is to present good examples e.g. how to facilitate occupational health and safety skills, raise safety awareness, incorporate OHS issues into vocational education and training and into the vocational skills competitions.
