This is free for everyone to attend. The course begins 7 March 2016, and it is possible to sign up now. The course is at Master level but can be attended by anyone interested in work and health. We need students to sign in for the course! Can you please help me to inform about it?

> > This free online course is teaching basic knowledge on work and health and how to prevent the development of diseases and injuries, caused by working conditions. As you may know, the industrial activity in the developing countries is increasing, but focus on the working conditions is not following. Both the industry and the health services worldwide lack knowledge about the high risk of injuries and death in the work place. As a result, millions of people are getting hurt. The course is our contribution to reduce the problem.
