In this context, the main problem that arises in the field of Safety and Health at Work (SHW) is the lack of employers’ and employees’ skills for the implementation of SHW. THE PROBLEM

Dissemination Route

1 ST STAGE – IDENTIFICATION PROCESS 2 ND STAGE – PLANNING PROCESS 3 RD STAGE – IMERSION PROCESS 4 TH STAGE- APPLICATION PROCESS 5 TH STAGE – RESULTS AND IMPACTS

STAGEDescription 1 st STAGE – IDENTIFICATION PROCESS This step is known for identifying potential participants (institutions, enterprises) in the activities of spreading (to the release process of the 2 nd level), and by the identification of the partners’ needs. 2nd STAGE – PLANNING PROCESS After knowing the companies – target of dissemination (2 nd level), and after knowing their technical, organizational and training needs, the concrete planning of the activities of dissemination follows, such as, monitoring activities and the activities of communication and Marketing. 3 rd STAGE – IMERSION PROCESS Integration, re-contextualization and eventual reconstruction / adaptation of the product to the context and culture of the incorporator organization. Following the divisions of the tasks, and the operational plan, an action plan by the partner is established, which will be legitimized through the establishment of a commitment by right, and followed the disclosure activities and the activities that imply knowledge of the products that will be transferred (technical visits to companies that applied the products, training actions and clarifications, etc) 4 th STAGE- APPLICATION PROCESS The disseminator organizations will perform the initiatives of promoting the products (next issue).
