Product description

Thereby they also gain valuable insights into the pocess of standardization: what should be observed when applying for a standardization application? What is the role of the informal exchange in coffee breaks? Who helps with the translation of technical terms such as buckle adjustment screw?
Aims and objectives
Technical standards set safety-relevant requirements in many areas, for example in work equipment and in testing and measurement procedures. Norms make an important contribution to avoid accidents and illnesses. It is especially helpful for occupational health and safety professionals to know the processes of standardization. Only this way you can make optimal use of the potential influence of the formation process of a norm.
The Commission for Occupational Safety and Standardization (KAN) developed the game KANelot in 2015. The aim of this game is to communicate the standardization process and the influence of occupational health and safety in a playful way. An accompanying booklet, illustrated by cartoonist Michael Hüter, provides useful information for each stage. In order to use the game as an e-learning tool, another version was developed in 2016.
Target audience
Occupational safety experts, who employ the norms.
