  10. Structure of the training modules for the sectors • Each of the 10 modules was planned to provide 15 hours of training • Each of the modules developed questions aiming to the identification of: • The level of knowledge of employees in different economic sectors of issues related to risk assessment • The training needs of the workers on the related issues • The view of the workers, on health and safety issues within their own working environment.
