Occupational health and safety (OHS) is relevant for occupational health professionals (OHP) throughout the world. However, training opportunities are often limited and exchange between OHP from industrialized and developing countries is sparse. We aimed to contribute to the international exchange of OHP through a 2-week summer school program.
Twenty-three OHP from 11 countries participated. Teaching methods included interactive lectures, participants' presentations, case-based e-learning, enterprise visits, and hands-on sessions. After completion, participants evaluated the course.
OHS systems of 18 different countries were presented using the same set of clinical cases as a starting point. Opportunities and challenges in the different OHS systems were considered. On median, participants rated the course as excellent and totally agreed that it will help them in their daily work.
An international summer school teaching basic aspects of different OHS systems is a useful tool for training and exchange at the global level.
职业健康与安全(OHS)与全球职业健康专业人员(OHP)息息相关。然而,培训机会往往有限,工业化国家和发展中国家的 OHP 之间交流也很少。我们旨在通过为期两周的暑期学校计划促进 OHP 的国际交流。
来自 11 个国家的 23 名 OHP 参加了该项目。教学方法包括互动式讲座、参与者演示、基于案例的电子学习、企业参观和实践课程。课程结束后,参与者对课程进行了评估。
使用相同的一组临床病例作为起点,介绍了 18 个不同国家的 OHS 系统。考虑了不同 OHS 系统中的机会和挑战。参与者对课程的评价中位数为优秀,并且完全同意该课程将有助于他们的日常工作。
国际暑期学校教授不同 OHS 系统的基本方面,是在全球范围内进行培训和交流的有用工具。
