ONLINE COURSE: The Economics of Occupational Safety and Health
Due to the pandemic we have decided to move the course The Economics of Occupational Safety and Health entirely online. We have changed the course format to make it more suitable for the online concept and the course date is now the 3rd of February 2021.
The intention of this OSH Economics course is to provide participants with methodological skills and practical capabilities to undertake and evaluate economic analyses on OSH issues. The course will be held on a level which is comprehensible also for non-economists. Some other issues will also be addressed with the aim of increasing the awareness of the value of economic calculations in the internal OSH governance.
The course webpage can be found here and the preliminary course program here.
The price of the course has been lowered to EUR 50 due to its online format.
You can sign up for the course by clicking the button below.

This course presents “The Best Of” the highly valued 3-year course on Work Disability Prevention. Work disability occurs when a worker is impaired in performing his or her job.

It is also a major concern to workers, their families, employers, policy makers, insurers, and occupational health service providers.Course objectives
The objective of the course is to disseminate transdisciplinary knowledge with focus on theoretical, methodological, ethical and practical challenges in relation to work disability prevention. The target audience is PhD students, post-doctoral fellows and practitioners with a master’s degree who are linked to the work disability field.Main topics
Three different Work Disability Prevention topics will be addressed and integrated:
1. Introduction to Work Disability Prevention (including transdisciplinarity)
2. Intervention research in Work Disability Prevention (including organizational interventions and health promotion aiming at both individuals and workplaces)
