The main objective of the course is to raise awareness among students about health and safety issues in the workplace and environmental aspects, providing them with tools able to promote learning from work and to promote correct and rational behavior.
During the training course the production processes, the resources used, the timing, the environmental contexts and the dynamics of the labor market will analyzed, in order to build organizational models of safety management with the human factor at the center and the optimization of its "care".
In this way the students will understand the relationships between the world of work and safety, gaining the awareness that safety is an integral part of the production process.
The course then addresses the innovation in its various components (labor market, technology, ..) always comparing with the history and work experience: this will be a first step for a continuous training path for the entire working life.
Another objective of the course is then the qualification of students as potential subjects who will cover roles of promotion and organization of prevention and protection in the workplace.
