This Master combines the experience of the University of Turin and the ITCILO to provide multidisciplinary training to become a safety and health professional.

Apresentação do Mestrado

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 University of Turin, Italy, in partnership with the International Training Centre of the International Labour Organization (ITCILO), is offering a Master 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 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 in order to offer direct interaction with experts in the field. An international approach has been applied to the contents and the methodology development, as well as to the composition of the training team.

Perfil dos participantes

The Master has been specifically designed for hygienists, physicians, chemists, engineers, inspectors, practitioners and officers, with a university degree but without a previous specialization in OSH, who are working, or wish to work, as OSH specialists.

Hello everyone, I am Joana Eva Dodoo, a Lecturer with the University of Cape Coast, Ghana. The Master of Occupational Safety and Health programme by ITC-ILO has provided me with a great learning opportunity. Interactions with field experts in the classroom and study trips have given me a much deeper understanding of workplace safety and health issues both in theory and practice. The supportive OSH team at ITC-ILO turned this into a great learning adventure for me.

Onboarding to this OHS Master was a great learning experience. The course provided me with a comprehensive overview of the various regulations, guidelines and specific technical skills that I needed to boost a critical approach for the implementation of health and safety at work. The hands-on activities with the very experienced Tutors and Experts was so beneficial in helping to reinforce the concepts taught in the course.
