Commencement Ceremony of the SafeChina project and its joint venture “Steinbeis R-Tech Beijing”

January 12, 2013 Beijing, China

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

The SafeChina project 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 Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH (DEG - German Investment and Development Agency) and realized by Steinbeis University Berlin (SHB) represented by Steinbeis Transfer Institute Advanced Risk Technologies (R-Tech) and Beijing Municipal Institute of Labor Protection (BMILP), 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 University
  
• 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 will be the occasion to award Risk Examiner and Risk Assessor certificates to Chinese professionals, as well as to SafeChina trainers, certified in the "Train-the-Trainer" part of the SafeChina project.

Issues of early recognition, classification and monitoring of emerging risks. As “emerging” are considered primarily risks previously not recognized as such, such as risks due to new processes, new technologies, new ways of working or social or organizational change (e.g. risks liked to nanotechnologies, bio-technology, new chemicals, outsourcing, globalization…). In addition also the known risks emerging due to the change in public perception or new scientific knowledge are considered.

The methodology to deal with these risks require new tools and these are presented at the course, concentrating in particular onto the use of concepts like UML (unified modeling language), indicators and modern IT tools, including the application of data mining. Examples and results from the current EU and other research will be highlighted and explained in detail to the course participants.

The course will give the participants opportunity to improve the knowledge about the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and to gain the skills to perform simplified LCA studies and to analyze, discuss and comment international scientific articles on LCA. 

The course will provide a comprehensive overview of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Life Cycle Costing (LCC), International Reference Life Cycle Data System (ILCD) and European Reference Life Cycle Data System (ELCD). The focus will be on practical examples of applying LCA in industry and improving the environmental performance and sustainability of products and services.
