Introduction

Public and private-sector organizations throughout the world are increasingly concerned with improving occupational safety and health (OSH). In both developed and developing countries, the rapid pace of technological change, combined with the persistence of unsafe or environmentally hazardous working conditions, has served to focus attention on the need to create safe, healthy working environments and promote a new safety culture in the workplace. Organizations are increasingly seeking OSH professionals who can catalyze these processes, and it is not always easy to find professionals with the right skills.

Becoming a safety and health professional requires multidisciplinary training. The OSH profession calls for a broad-based educational background, including specialized knowledge of the physical sciences (medicine, physics, chemistry, and engineering) and the social sciences (behaviour, motivation, and communication), together with an understanding of the principles and concepts of management. Accordingly, the University of Turin, Italy, in partnership with the International Training Centre of the International Labour Organization (ITCILO), the International Labour Office (ILO), and the International Commission of Occupational Health (ICOH), is offering a Master in Occupational Safety and Health.

Accordingly, the University of Turin, Italy, in partnership with the International Training Centre of the International Labour Organization (ITCILO), is offering a Master's course in Occupational Safety and Health. This one-year programme, to be held in English, includes an Internet-based distance learning phase, a face-to-face residential period on the ITCILO’s campus in Turin, followed by another distance phase for the preparation of the dissertation.

The proposed programme combines the advantages of the academic experience of Turin University in OSH with the ITCILO’s international training experience. An international approach has been applied to the contents and the methodology development, as well as to the composition of the training team.

This programme is addressed to participants from both developing and developed countries, who will thus have an opportunity to share their different and valuable experiences. Furthermore, it also offers a range of learning situations in which participants can enhance their analytical and problem-solving skills

OSH professionals need a multidisciplinary background to successfully operate in the broad field of OSH, therefore the programme incorporates training sessions on all of the topics and disciplines relevant to OSH. The training focuses not only on OSH issues but also on the development of organizational, managerial and interpersonal skills. Study visits to 13 different productive settings are planned to offer direct interaction with experts in the field.

Diploma

A first level Master's diploma from the University of Turin (60 certified university credits) will be awarded to those participants who fulfil all the following conditions:

  • Satisfy the administrative and documentary requirements of the University of Turin;
