Occupational safety is understood as the protection of employees during their work performance. This includes not only the prevention of occupational accidents, but also the minimization of hazards and risks to maintain the health of employees. The topic is often treated rather stepmotherly in occupational psychology, but it is highly relevant and very diverse. Accordingly, we will look at the topic of occupational safety from different perspectives and deal intensively with the idea of safety culture and the handling of errors in organizations.
Parallel to the theoretical discussion, everyone will work individually on a case study, which will keep you busy throughout the semester.
The contents of the course will be posted later this week.
The first classroom session of the course will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 18 in room RM 02 S-0.113 from 10:15 - 12:00.
