Occupational health and safety training and courses

• As a general rule, the offer will expire if it is not accepted.
• It is possible to agree to combine two years’ supplementary course activity into a total of three days of training. However, this does not apply to the supplementary training which must be offered during the first year after election.
• The two days of supplementary training which must be offered during the first year after the election must be offered and scheduled to begin within the first nine months after the completion of the mandatory occupational health and safety training.
• In subsequent years, the 1½ days of supplementary training, which must be offered, must be offered and be scheduled to begin within the same year.
• If you agree to combine two years of supplementary training, written documentation of this agreement is required for the Danish Working Environment Authority e.g. in the form of minutes, emails etc.

• The employer (department level (Aarhus BSS, ST, HE)/school level (Arts)) must be able to document in writing to the Danish Working Environment Authority that supplementary occupational health and safety training has been offered.
• The type of documentation is voluntary, e.g. minutes of meetings, emails or other.

• Each year, the employer (department level (Aarhus BSS, ST, HE)/school level (Arts)) must ensure that a competency development plan for supplementary occupational health and safety training is prepared for occupational health and safety representatives and occupational health and safety managers in the occupational health and safety organisation.
• The plan can be one overall plan for all the members of the occupational health and safety organisation, or it can be one plan for each member.
• For example, the plan can be prepared in connection with the annual work environment dialogue.

• The employer and the members of the occupational health and safety organisation must discuss next year's competency development plan during the annual work environment dialogue. In the event of disagreement, the employer will decide what the plan should contain.
• Ordinary occupational health and safety organisation meetings, the annual work environment dialogue and, for example, a course in setting up a machine are not considered as supplementary occupational health and safety training.
• Training must be relevant in relation to the tasks and functions of the members of the occupational health and safety organisation, and ensure continuous and targeted upgrading of competencies within the occupational health and safety organisation.

Occupational health and safety representatives and occupational health and safety managers at AU must arrange this themselves with their respective managers and sign up for the internal or external supplementary courses to help their efforts to improve the work environment. The Faculty/Administration Occupational Health and Safety Committees (FAMU/AAMU) should discuss the competencies needed to address the challenges faced by employees, e.g. in connection with workplace assessments (WPA).
