(objectives)
The aim of the course is to transmit and acquire knowledge and skills on the current legislation on the prevention of risks deriving from the use of chemical substances, physical agents and biological agents in the laboratory field, on the risks to safety and health, on risk assessment methodologies, on the correct use of personal protective equipment, on the management of emergencies. At the end of the course the learners must be able to: • know the legislation regarding safety and prevention of health risks; • identify the risks of a chemical, physical and biological nature; • identify the behaviors that can determine the exposure of the individual to chemical, physical and biological agents: • plan procedures to limit the risk of exposure to the agent identified as a possible risk; • apply and modulate the procedures according to the structural and organizational characteristics of the specific working situations in which they will operate. Both traditional methods for the transmission of contents, information and operational schemes, and moments and methodologies for the active involvement of the participants will be used, through group exercises, analysis and case discussion, alternating plenary moments with moments of restricted activity in multi- session in which to do more design and / or reflection work.
