Mainstreaming occupational safety and health into university educationE u r o p e a n Ag e n c y f o r Sa f e t y a n d He a l t h a t Wo r kSuccess factorsOO New legislation requiring OSH technicians to require a university-level Mastersdegree in OSH provided opportunities for other, broader initiatives.OO Partnership – again with the legislative requirements providing an opening to raisethe issue with partners about a broader approach and the opportunity to createthis inter-institutional project. The European Campaign ‘Safe Start’ was also used toattract support.OO The University has OSH expertise onsite.OO The use of information systems technologies is growing in number and varietyof applications and is a convenient way to reach people, especially at universitylevel, both for conveying information and also to make available e-learningprogrammes.T r a n s f e r a b i l i t yThe same approach could be used by other educational institutions.Contact details for further informationJulio CorderoFundación General de la Universidad de Salamancac/ Fonseca, 237002 SalamancaPh: 923 294 772Fax: 923 294 702e-mail: info@prevencionuniversitas.comhttp://riesgolaboral.usal.es/Additional informationLearning about OSH: a seminar on occupational health and safety and education, 4-5March 2002.http://osha.europa.eu/en/topics/osheducation/proceedings/19spainuniversityeduc.ppthttp://europe.osha.eu.int/publications/reports/310/learningosh_en.pdfTraining and Innovation Conference, Dresden July 2007 http://www.dguv.de/iag/de/veranstaltungen/tundi/2007/_dokumente/alvarez.pdf88

The approach is applied to a whole class;OO the teaching method has evolved with each academic year so as to improve it andadapt to students’ needs as well as possible;OO a project approach using real case studies;OO results placed on a CD-ROM and there is also complementary online information; andOO partnership with health insurance fund and national OSH institute.E u r o p e a n Ag e n c y f o r Sa f e t y a n d He a l t h a t Wo r kKey elements:OO chemical engineering;OO compulsory;OO student participation;OO real case studies;OO partnership; andOO online information.IntroductionAt the chemical engineering school Ecole nationale supérieure de chimie de Rennes(ENSCR) the students themselves give the lectures on basic occupational andindustrial risk management knowledge that forms part of the course. The methodhas proved effective and popular for the acquisition of knowledge by the futureengineers.B a c k g r o u n dA member of the Gay-Lussac Federation (FGL) 10 and the Conférence des grandes écoles,the ENSCR is a chemical engineering school which aims to provide engineers withtraining that takes into account risk management through to occupational health.Instruction in safety and industrial risk management has always formed part of thegraduates’ training, being viewed as essential for engineers. However it becameapparent that training methods needed to be changed to increase the students’active participation in the OSH learning process.For its part, the Occupational Risks Department of the regional health insurance fund(CRAM) for Brittany has been working for many years in partnership with the highereducation system (engineering schools, universities, etc.) to enable learning, as far10 The FGL is a society formed of all the chemistry and chemical engineering schools in France.89
