9 Enhancing Occupational Health and Safety Training in China: An Australia-China Partnership The project on enhancing occupational heath and safety training in China has been awarded a grant from the Australia-China Foundation. The long-term vision for the project is to develop a sustainable and meaningful partnership to promote workplace health and safety through capacity building, collaborative research, and the sharing of relevant expertise and information. The immediate aim is to strengthen OHS training capacity in the Guangdong health workforce to enable them to deal with pressing occupational health challenges. Thus, while the MOU covers a range of OHS activities, the initial focus is on identifying training needs and the development of useful supportive material, especially the translation and adaptation of Principles of Occupational Signing the MOU on May 18, 2008 in Guangzhou are Prof Huang Hanlin from Guangdong Prevention and Treatment Center for Occupational Diseases, Prof Ian Health and Hygiene. (see PDF on Newsletter article) O Connor, Vice Chancellor of Griffith University, and Madam Deng Yenzheng, Guangdong Institute of Health Inspection. Mr Huang Fei (middle back row), the Deputy Director-General of the Guangdong Health Bureau was the witness to the MOU. The Australian Book on Principles of Occupational Health and Hygiene The Australian text Principles of Occupational Health and Hygiene is recognised by the Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists (AIOH) and offers a systematic and comprehensive overview of occupational health hazards and hazardous environments applicable to a range of commonly encountered industrial and organisational settings. The book s authors, leading industry professionals and educators, explain how to use occupational hygiene processes to identify key workplace hazards including chemical agents such as dusts, metals and gases, physical agents such as noise, radiation, temperature extremes, and microbiological agents. They also outline the procedures needed to assess the risk from such exposures and to control and manage those risks effectively. Chapters are illustrated with useful tables, diagrams, flowcharts and pictures, reflecting the combination of basic theory, factual health knowledge and the intensely practical nature of the interventions needed to manage hygiene hazards in the workplace. This textbook, School, Centre or Element Name rich in information and useful professional practices, has gained international recognition and is used in many postgraduate health and safety courses as an introduction for training professional hygienists. 9
