In addition, the company OSH statistics (2010 – 2016) showed a positive development at safety level. However, The Nordic Safety Climate Questionnaire did not show any significant change of results in a one year period. According to the results of the group interviews the learning possibilities in the STP was evaluated positive most of the per-sons in groups. Especially it was seen very useful for students and for everyone who needs introduction for safety.
