Training Programs on Consumer Safety and Health
The objective of the Network is to contribute to the development and consolidation of national and regional systems working on strengthening products' safety and, thus protect consumer health. To achieve this goal it is necessary to deepen the awareness and training of relevant officials in the countries of the region about the importance of market surveillance and on the impact that the consumption of safe goods have on the health of the population.
In this regard, and after consulting with the countries users of the CSHN on the needs they note on their systems, a consultancy has been called for the design, organization and implementation of training activities on safe consumption and health, including two virtual courses: one pertaining to introductory knowledge about consumer safety and its impact on health and another one with a more specific emphasis on policy implementation issues relating to market surveillance.
To complement these courses, several activities will be organized in Washington, DC. In addition, the Consumer Product Safety Commission of the United States will contribute with the implementation of a training activity for Latin America and the Caribbean on consumer safety, in the context of the CSHN.
For the development of online courses, the generous financial support from the Catalan Agency for consumption has been obtained, and the University Pompeu Fabra will provide academic support and computer.
This space shall publish the course dates, enrollment periods, and will provide access to the necessary study material for students, as well as for all other person interested in accessing information on safe consumption and health.
