Innovation of the occupational health and safety study programme

This article focuses on the innovative form of the subject Risk analysis methods which was realized as project education. The aim of the new method and form of instruction was not only mediation of the curriculum from an active teacher to a passive learner, but it was a reciprocal dynamic process. Knowledge of students is formed by the permanent dialogue between what students know and what they have discovered within their own activities. This method is very interactive and uses also modern Information and communications technology. The paper deals with the results and the effectiveness of new teaching forms used in this subject. The objective was to implement and resolve the real examples from practice through explained and acquired techniques of risk analysis. The level of students´ knowledge was detected and we reported the inputs and outputs (at the beginning and end of the lesson), thus confirming the effectiveness of new forms of teaching. The output examples of this innovative education are presented in this article.
