What for is used preventive training? Theoretical discussion and practical implications: The case of unqualified jobs in the subcontracting firms in the construction sector in Spain
Abstract
This work analyses the usefulness of preventive training, which has been delivered to a sample of unqualified workers in subcontracting firms. Within this period of analysis new courses are designed by social partners, which define a framework of training regulated by law and collective bargaining. Both types face similar problems of quality with regards to features of the sector and employers. In this scenario should be considered the effectiveness of training in achieving the goal of reducing of accidents. Empirical research provides with the conclusion that this training has been used as a mean to obtained a diploma and to achieve a credentialist objective rather than as a tool for reducing work-related accidents.Downloads
