My reference has a comma after preventive, which is possibly better.

neutral  philgoddard: You have to say what it is you're preventing!//Your reference is a bad translation. Workplace prevention means preventing the workplace, which is meaningless.

In the corresponding English job descriptions "workplace" seems to be covered by "environment"

Explanation:
Agree with gangels and Horst. The only source using this as a header clearly doesn’t talk about methods but about the profession in general. Seems strange to me that they don’t seem to be bothered enough to correct this apparent mistake on their website: http://www.claudiana.bz.it/de/studium-und-weiterbildung/laur...

The job description below is very similar to the programs offered by Claudiana:
