In our Norhed II project Safeworkers, we have made a new online course, published on the FutureLearn platform. This 6-week course, titled "Better workplaces in Low - and Middle-Income Countries" aims to improve workplace health and safety. The course is available from Monday, 11 November, and is open for all. You can sign up now. There is also a paid option for those who wishes to take a test at the end and get a certificate.

With this course, the educators aim for the learners to:

  • describe basic concepts in occupational health

  • identify the most important risk factors for illness and injuries at workplaces globally

  • perform a risk assessment at the workplace

  • reflect on occupational health in a global perspective, with focus on climate changes and low-income settings

Different types of workplaces are included in the course, with their own sets of challenges.
