School Safety training courses

Safety training courses

Students who are exposed to specific risks, such as in laboratories, for occupational safety are equated with workers and, therefore, must be equally informed and trained and, like employees, have the same obligations regarding occupational safety (reference Legislative Decree 81/2008 Consolidated Law on the Protection of the Health and Safety of Workers in the Workplace).

Successful completion of the Workplace Safety Training Course is mandatory for attendance in courses in the School of Humanities and Education that include access to laboratories, exercises at internal or external facilities, and for the conduct of internships.

In particular:

If the internship takes place at an external institution: the part of the training to be completed with the University is only the general training, while the host institution must provide the specific training part.

If the internship takes place at a University facility: general training must be followed by specific training. The specific training course will have the content and duration corresponding to the risks present in the activity performed and the identified risk level.

The safety course is divided into 2 parts:

1. General basic training course in e-learning mode - duration: 4 hours

The course covers relevant topics on health and safety in the workplace, in compliance with Legislative Decree 81/08 and the State-Regions Agreement of 21 Dec. 2011, classified as General Training and is the first part of the mandatory training required by the relevant legislation.

The course consists of the study of training materials in e-learning mode. The estimated time for completion of the course is about four hours.

Various intermediate self-assessment tests are provided within and at the end of the lessons, and the course must be concluded by taking a final test held in person.

Who needs to take the course

Students who need access to laboratories, field excursions at external facilities and the conduct of the in-person internship.
