Tuition modules

The tuition modules are intended to support manufacturers and users in planning seminars and other courses in the field of occupational safety and health, in particular on the subject of defeating of safeguards on machinery. The modules comprise an introductory module, one module each for the manufacturer and user of the machine, and a module containing actual design examples.

The modules take the form of ready-to-use presentations. They can be used together or individually. Speakers decide for themselves how much time is needed for their talks and in what depth to address the subject, and can adjust their talk to their audience. The package also includes PDF files containing additional information on the slide content as a support.

The tuition modules include selected examples from specific industries. The principles communicated by these examples can easily be transferred to other sectors. Experience has shown that training participants prefer examples from the area of activity with which they are familiar. If you have created new slides for your own sector, we would appreciate receiving them in order for us to extend our tuition modules.
