The course consists of the following 7 modules: 1. Introduction to Basic Occupational Health Services, 2. Stepwise development of the OHS system, 3. The BOHS cycle, 4. Surveillance of the work environment and of the workers’ health, 5. Prevention and education, 6. Diagnosis, therapy, rehabilitation, record keeping and evaluation, and 7.

Each module has a pre- and post test. Besides, within the modules, the learning is stimulated by questions and immediate feedback. All courses can be followed and displayed on-line or downloaded and printed in any order (except for the questions and tests, which can be read and are examined only online). An e-tutor button is available for asking questions.
