Project No. BG28 #012

Status:

completed 04/1997

Aims:

Tunnel construction and specialised underground work are characterised by a high risk of accidents as well as unfavourable working conditions. A large number of unskilled workers are employed at the building sites concerned. Goal: increasing work safety by better qualification of employees in tunnel- and specialised underground construction

Activities/Methods:

Definition and quantification of safety and health risks; definition of target groups; putting together educational concepts and learning programmes; carrying out training and further training events

Results:

Establishing the layout for teaching folios; catalogue of requirements concerning the methodological and didactical aspects of structuring classes; the seminars "general tunnel construction", "working with explosives underground", "air-placed concrete technology", "working under high atmospheric pressure conditions", "transportation in tunnel construction", "safety in tunnel construction work" successfully carried out
