摘要
Tunnelling and specialized civil engineering are characterized by a high risk of accidents and unfavourable working conditions. As part of the project, two courses are being pursued in the endeavour to find ways of improving conditions at the work place, increasing work safety and reducing health hazards. After the accident situation has been assessed, areas requiring action defined and accidents analyzed, training programmes will be developed and tested for various target groups. These will result in more intensive and more broadly based qualification of employees. They will also provide the basis for implementing training programmes and carrying out research work into safety questions at the Tunnelling Training and Experimental Institute (TTEI). This combined approach will improve safety at work and reduce health hazards.
