“…and courses, as well as modern approaches such as virtual reality simulation, computer-aided learning, e-learning, remote learning and online learning [40]. In general, methods that require participation and combine different levels of engagement are considered more efficient [41,42], and the use of examples, pictures and demonstrations is often more effective than lectures or reading material alone [43,44].…”

BACKGROUND: Young employees have often poorer occupational safety and health (OSH) skills and knowledge than older employees. Efforts should be made at different educational levels to strengthen young employees' OSH skills and knowledge. OBJECTIVE: To analyze OSH perceptions and attitudes among university students and to examine OSH professionals' views on OSH teaching. METHODS: This explorative study employs an iterative multimethod approach, including a paired comparison questionnaire for university students (N = 104) and OSH professionals (N = 40), an OSH questionnaire for university students (N = 130) and a Delphi survey for OSH professionals (N = 26). 2 RESULTS: OSH perceptions and attitudes were found to vary widely among the students and some expressed somewhat stereotypical views about OSH. The results confirm the need to improve OSH education. To that end, the study reports concrete practical ideas from OSH professionals. CONCLUSIONS: The findings confirm the need to augment both the quality and quantity of OSH teaching at university level. Ideas are presented for future OSH teaching, along with recommendations for future studies.

“…Regarding the content of training, there are different approaches, such as action regulation theory (17) and behavioral learning theories (18), indicating the training program does not merely provide information but also frames the behavioral pattern to trainees (19). Although behavior and knowledge acquisition can be enhanced by safety training, meanwhile, in evidence, the outcome is rather uncertain after eliminating the self-selection bias (19).…”

“…Glendon et al (2006) claim that OSH training is a great deal more efficient when utilizing pictures and demonstrations rather than mere lectures or reading relevant material. Brahm & Singer (2013) propose a combination of first providing larger amounts of information by using less-engaging methods followed by introducing more in-depth knowledge through more-engaging methods.…”

Recent debate regarding the possibility for decreasing the risk of accidents within the construction industry has emphasised the need for innovative training methods. Training should combine behaviour-and culture-based approaches, simulate real-life situations, and involve multiple methods. The concept of Safety Training Park (STP) has been developed to meet these challenges. Eighty stakeholders from the Finnish construction industry have been involved in the construction and financing of the STP in northern Finland (STPNF). This unique cooperation has contributed to the immediate success of the park. However, little is known regarding the creation process and how the utilization of the STPNF could be improved. This article presents as a case study the concept, joint creation process and lessons learned this far. Detailed descriptions of the STPNF, findings from focus group interviews, and evidence from the literature are presented with a focus on the pros and cons of the STPNF. The STP is a new and innovative method for safety training that stimulates different learning styles and inspires changes in individuals' behaviour and in the organisations' safety climate. The stakeholders' high commitment, a long-term perspective, and a strong safety climate are identified as preconditions for the STP concept to work.
