In Spanish:
La gestión de la prevención de riesgos laborales (PRL) y de la salud ocupacional (SO) representa una tendencia creciente en la dinámica de las empresas del sector privado y público en América Latina y el Caribe (ALyC). La preservación de los niveles de seguridad y salud de los trabajadores se ha convertido en una variable que tiene influencia sobre el desempeño de las organizaciones y su responsabilidad social. El manejo asertivo de estas relaciones puede ser alcanzado si es planificado, ejecutado y controlado por personal directivo con una sólida formación técnica, gerencial y orientada a la innovación. En este sentido, en Venezuela se está desarrollando una experiencia de formación dirigida a personal directivo en esta área, la cual es ofrecida por la Universidad de Alcalá de Henares de España, a través de un novedoso modelo de estudios de Post Grado con títulos propios. El objetivo principal del modelo es conformar una comunidad del conocimiento, que sea capaz de investigar, desarrollar e innovar. En la actualidad, se han iniciado seis programas de Post Grado en los cuales interactúan docentes, investigadores, gerentes y profesionales del ramo, tantos españoles como latinoamericanos.
