Decision making is a process where multiple factors interact to shape the final outcome. Those factors can be technical, informational, emotional/psychological, cultural… Nevertheless, the limited rationality of economic operators makes the decision exercise more and more difficult in a more and more complex world. Safety management requires short, mid and long term decisions that may highly influence the ability of the organization to cope with its risks.

SafeChina project:
Commencement ceremony Jan. 12, 2013

Beijing Municipal Institute of Labour Protection
No. 55 Taoranting Road, Beijing, 100054

The SafeChina project (http://www.safechina.risk-technologies.com) approaches its planned end in February 2013. The project main aim has been to build a sustainable education service in China offering the engineers and relevant professions the possibility to learn about the EU safety practices and regulation, and qualify as Environmental- and Safety engineers according to EU criteria, guidelines and practice. The project has been financed by DEG - Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH (German Investment and Development Agency) and realized by Steinbeis University Berlin (SHB) represented by Steinbeis Transfer Institute Advanced Risk Technologies and Beijing Municipal Institute of Labor Protection BMILP (www.bmilp.com), as the main strategic partner of Steinbeis in China.

The SafeChina project has created:

a) a curriculum of courses in Risk Engineering and Management adapted to the needs of Chinese beneficiaries,

b) a pattern for on-the-job training in EU/Germany and 

c) a certifications scheme for Chinese professionals.

So far, the project has already achieved most of its goals, so far namely:

  • performed a large-scale survey of Chinese needs in the area of industrial safety
  • signed cooperation agreements with 17 Chinese partners
  • signed cooperation agreements with INERIS, France and DEKRA, Germany
  • prepared the curriculum of 12 full courses, fully translated in Chinese
  • organized 14 instances of the above courses, attended by almost 500 participants
  • certified over 400 professionals (passed various levels of exams)
  • had already 14 short and 3 long on-the-job-trainings for Chinese professionals in Germany 
  • qualified 18 Chinese trainers in the framework of the train-the-trainer measures
  • incorporated courses from the project in the curricula of one of the Chinese top-class universities, CUEB
  • negotiates incorporation of the courses into one of the Chinese top universities, Tsinghua
  • negotiates incorporation of the courses into the professional education in Chinese companies (Sinopec, Ping An, etc.)
  • prepares an independent German-Chinese joint venture ("Steinbeis Advanced Risk Technologies Beijing") which will continue project activities after the official DEG-project end, i.e. after February 2013.

The project activities performed so far have been evaluated as "excellent" or "very good" by approx. 90% of all the Chinese stakeholders/participants in the project.

The event of January 12, 2013 was the occasion to award certificates to the Chinese professionals who have earned them as Risk Examiners and Risk Assessors, as well as Chinese trainers for the Safe-China courses (certified in the train-the-trainer program).

The news has been also published on web sites of Beijing Municipal Institute of Labour Protection (read the news) and Beijing Academy of Science and Technology (read the news). In addition, the news will be published by monthly journal Safety in July.



China Work Safety News published the news about SafeChina "Train-the-trainer" activities on June 12, 2012 on Page 7 under the title

The Chinese-German cooperation“SafeChina”training project will be introduced into university

The news, as translated from Chinese, may be summarized as follows.

First round of “Train-the-trainer” course and written exams for future Chinese trainers within the Chinese-German cooperation project “SafeChina” took place a few days ago in Beijing Municipal Institute of Labour Protection (BMILP). 18 candidates fulfilling the requirements set by the project for the trainers have successfully attended the course and the exam.

The“SafeChina”project is financed by DEG - the German Investment and Development Agency and realized by the Steinbeis University Berlin (SHB), represented by Steinbeis Transfer Institute Advanced Risk Technologies, and main strategic partners in China - BMILP. The project aims to build a sustainable education service in China offering the engineers and relevant professions to learn about the EU HSE practices and regulation and qualify as Environmental- and Safety engineers according to EU criteria, guidelines and practice. The project started in September 2010 and will be finished at the end of this year.

SafeChina training include 11 specialized courses such as Introduction to Risk and Safety Management in Industry, Risk Analysis in Chemical/ Petroleum Industries, Risk Analysis in Power Industries, Occupational Safety and Health, etc. Up to the end of May this year, nearly 20 companies joined the partnership agreement between Steinbeis and BMILP, 8 courses took place in Beijing, 214 participants have attended above mentioned courses, and one university in Beijing has basically approved to include some SafeChina courses in their education program.

Training and selecting Chinese trainers is not only a very important part of “SafeChina” project, but also a key point to guarantee the sustainability of the project. The candidates who pass written and oral exams will gain the title "SafeChina trainer" and receive corresponding certificates issued by the Steinbeis University Berlin (SHB). They will continue lecturing SafeChina courses. The participants who attend the courses given by the Chinese trainers and pass the exams will also gain certificates issued by the Steinbeis University Berlin (SHB).

(...) The interim report is excellent. It is very well structured, contains all necessary information and nicely sum up all relevant activities / findings or the project up to today. (...)

For me, the interim report shows that the project now is on a very good way and it looks like you are on a good way to surpass the overall number of participants. It is very good to see that we have already 138 participants successfully passing a final examination. (...)

In any case, i can already confirm the acceptance of the interim report which also contains all necessary documentation to "approve" the achievement of the relevant indicators. Supplemented by the excellent data bases in the internet the project process is perfectly documented.  (...)

Thank you very much for the really good work! (...)
