The article is devoted to the problem of formation peculiarities of safety culture of future health and safety professionals under modern conditions.  The security situation, which is under the influence of many complex dynamic processes, has been exacerbated by the anthropogenic pressure on the environment due to the pandemic, which is accompanied by the emergence of new risks and threats to humans. Therefore, the issue of people’s life and health safety is considered a priority in the context of ensuring sustainable development of the state and society as a whole.  Ukraine has created a legal framework based on the Constitution of Ukraine and includes laws of Ukraine in the field of health, labor and environmental protection. In particular, based on the work of international and Ukrainian scientists in the field of security in Ukraine, the concept of education in the field of safety of human’s life and activity is implemented, within which it is taught a set of disciplines on labor protection. However, the current state of affairs suggests that future specialists formation of cultural safety peculiarities in the field of labor protection, especially under pandemic conditions, is insufficient and inconsistent. As security has become a priority goal and need of man, team and society as a whole, it is clear that the assimilation of this culture can be achieved through formation of the new system of views, values, norms and traditions of safe behavior.  The purpose of the article is to substantiate the peculiarities of the culture of safety in a pandemic for future labor protection specialists during professional training. The research methods are theoretical: analysis (impulse, system, analytical and synthetic, inductive, deductive); synthesis (general scientific, interdisciplinary, interdisciplinary); classification, systematization, generalization; modeling. The results. The relevance and need to develop a culture of safety of future health and safety professionals under pandemic conditions during their professional training are substantiated.  The significance of labor protection at work and other institutions, in social life under pandemic conditions is analyzed. The approaches that contribute to the formation of a culture of safety of future health and safety professionals (environmental, geophysical, medical and biological, algorithmic, strategic, informational, contextual, synergetic, gender, block practice) are substantiated.  The considered appropriate formulas and techniques in the approaches provide an opportunity to make a dynamic management decision to effectively consolidate knowledge and skills on safety culture of future professionals under modern conditions during professional training.  Conclusions. The proposed material will be of interest to teachers of higher education institutions in the field of labor protection and life safety. The research does not cover all the aspects of the problem of forming a safety culture under modern conditions. The prospect of further research requires the forming of the model that provides new principles, forms and methods of safety culture formation of future professionals in the field of labor protection.

The systematic removal of death from social life in the West has exposed people living in areas affected by COVID-19 to the risk of being unable to adequately manage the anxiety caused by mortality salience. Death education is a type of intervention that helps people manage their fear of death by offering them effective strategies to deal with loss and anxiety. To that end, a path of death education has been carried out with University students of psychology. The main purpose of the research is to understand how students who participated in the death education course perceive the lockdown experience in light of course teachings. The research was carried out at a University in northern Italy in an area severely affected by COVID-19, during the first year of the pandemic. The group of participants included 38 students, 30 women and 8 men, with an average age of 25.45 years (SD = 7). At the end of the course, the students could respond on an optional basis to the request to comment on the training experience according to what they experienced during the pandemic. A thematic analysis was subsequently carried out on the texts, which made it possible to identify the most relevant thematic areas for the students. The qualitative analyses permitted recognition of three main forms of discovery: the removal of death in contemporary culture; the importance of community, ritual and funeral, and spirituality; and the significance of death education for future health professionals. The texts have highlighted how the removal of these issues exposes people to the risk of being unable to handle extremely painful events such as those related to dying. The results show the positivity of death education pathways conducted at the University level to help students reflect on these issues and manage the related anguish.

<p><em>Health and safety is based on the choices that people make during lifetime. Each of us chooses to act safely or unsafely, healthy or unhealthy. Specific risk group is children and youngsters. Children and young people often have a desire to test their independence, build a personal identity and expand the social life, so young people often experiment also with different types of behavior. In the situations not favorable to health and safety children and young people behavior often do not comply with their knowledge of how to act. Human (human securitability is an internationally-known concept that characterizes human adaptability skills in a rapidly changing environment. Are distinguished 7 human securitability aspects: health, economic, personal (physical), ecological securitability, nutritional, community and political securitability. In the National development plan (NDP) 2020 strategy one of the priorities is human securitability provision. In our study, we analyzed the personal (physical) securitability of educational institutions. A person with a low sense of securitability feels threatened, does not want to use the opportunities of personal growth, trust others and cooperate with them at workplace and in collectives, does not want to participate in the state national development process, and therefore does not contribute to national growth. The pupils are able to learn successfully at school, develop their ability to form a personality only in an environment with a sustainable securitability. The pupil parents can successfully work and act only in the case they are absolutely certain about their children securitability at school, where they spend most of the working day: at schools, in after-school hobby groups, in sports trainings. Creating a safe environment at schools and being educated, growing and developing in this environment, the pupils form understanding of the necessity for a safe and healthy environment and its importance, and develop motivation to keep it for the needs of family, society and the public. </em></p><p><em>In strengthening securitability equally important is knowledge and skills to act in different situations. Researching education policy documents, the authors draw the conclusion that it is necessary on a state level to strengthen the securitability of each Latvian resident and the issues related to state securitability in educational institutions and society as a whole. Sports teacher can contribute to the promotion of pupil securitability, using the subject content as the means. Human securitability can be promoted by knowledge acquisition and skills development in securitability-oriented sports lesson.</em></p>
