Nowadays, the significance of occupational safety can never be over emphasised. Many occupational accidents could be avoided if people acted correctly and complied with occupational safety instructions. It is possible to increase ones knowledge about occupational safety by participating in courses.

The Centre for Occupational Safety organises basic and supplementary education for occupational safety either as open courses or as tailor-made courses for working places. Education for Maritime education is provided in Kotka, Turku, Rauma and Maarianhamn.
