We have recently updated the ILO website and are in the process of rebuilding a number of pages. You might encounter layout issues on pages as we work on them. Thank you for your understanding while we improve your experience.

Training materials

The ILO develops practical and easy to use training materials and methods that provide adequate occupational safety and health (OSH) capacities. They help users identify key priorities, elaborate coherent and relevant strategies, establish effective and efficient practices, and implement national OSH programmes. The training tools are aimed at management, supervisors, workers and their representatives, government officials, and all those concerned with workers' safety and health.

The instructional materials introduce the concepts of hazard, risk and prevention as one of the effective means to build a strong and sustained preventative safety and health culture. Many focus on the “train-the trainer” approach. A number of training packages have been used in several countries resulting in concrete OSH improvements at national and enterprise levels. They are made widely available through technical cooperation activities and training programmes.
