Summary

The course is focused on risk management in the workplace. The ability to assess risks at work and to propose effective measures to deal with risks is one of the key competencies of OSH professionals. Students will get acquainted with common workplace hazards (risks), with procedures, methods/techniques and tools for their assessment and with fundamental prevention of occupational accidents and diseases for individual hazards (risks). As part of the semester project, students will have the opportunity to work on case studies from real companies and try out the management of occupational risks in practice.
