Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of the formation of the culture of occupational safety among future occupational safety and health engineers. The importance of the selection of the content by taking into account the structural components of the occupational safety culture and the types of professional activities of an occupational safety engineer has been determined. The paper substantiates the content of formation of the safety culture of professional activity that includes: labor protection, organizational and managerial, legal, ergonomic, health-preserving and communicative components. It was established that the labor protection component should be implemented through a complex of professionally oriented academic disciplines in the field of labor protection; organizational and managerial component should be actualized through the content of the “Occupational Safety Management” academic course; legal component should be implemented through the course of “Legislative and Regulatory Concepts of Safety”, ergonomic component should be realized through “Workplace Ergonomics” and “Occupational Safety Psychology” courses; health-preserving component should be revealed through “Medical and Biological Basics of Safety”; communicative component should be implemented through “Business Communications” and “Pedagogy of Safety” academic disciplines. The article uses theoretical and empirical research methods i.e. the analysis of pedagogical literature and dissertation researches on the problem of structuring the content of education and the safety culture formation, the analysis of curricula and basic educational programs in order to select disciplines aimed at the formation of the safety culture, the survey of labor protection specialists and the analysis of regulatory legal acts to identify the types of professional activities of an occupational safety engineer. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop a special course of “Occupational Safety Culture” for the Master’s educational qualification level.
Highlights
An important stage in the professional training of specialists of any area is designing the content of education which, according to most scientists, is defined as a system of knowledge, skills, professional experience, professional and personal qualities, the mastering of which contributes to the intellectual, social, comprehensive, spiritual development of individual
39 (2020) 2 of the study, we came to the conclusion that the content of the formation of the occupational safety culture (OSC) of future occupational safety engineers is an interconnected system represented by the following components: labor protection, organizational and managerial, legal, ergonomic, health-preserving, communicative
Adhering to the above provisions, when structuring the content of the formation of OSC, we provided for the ergonomic component presented through the content of the academic disciplines such as “Workplace Ergonomics” and “Psychology of Occupational Safety”
Summary
An important stage in the professional training of specialists of any area is designing the content of education which, according to most scientists, is defined as a system of knowledge, skills, professional experience, professional and personal qualities, the mastering of which contributes to the intellectual, social, comprehensive, spiritual development of individual. Numerous studies on the formation and development of safety culture, life safety culture, personal safety culture among preschoolers, schoolchildren, students Issues related to the selection and structuring of the content of formation of the safety culture among future specialists responsible for occupational safety and health at work and who are the main managers for the development of the safety culture among personnel require a deeper and more detailed study. In view of the above provisions, the purpose of the article is to substantiate and design the content of formation of the occupational safety culture (OSC) of future engineers for labor protection
