Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim of the course is to gain knowledge about the issues of safety and health management at work in the construction project preparation stage and project execution stage.
After completing the course, students will be able to define and explain the various processes of risk management in the construction project preparation stage and project execution stage and apply them in practice.
Part of the acquired knowledge will be the ability to classify and clarify the obligations in health and safety of persons responsible for the preparation and execution of constructions. Students will also be able to characterize architectural and organizational solutions OSH in the development of construction projects and analyze the fundamental OSH risks on construction sites, including measures to coordinate the work activities of individual contractors.
The knowledge and skills gained will contribute to analytical and critical thinking
development, enabling qualified and flexible decision-making regarding uncertainty and complexity in risk management.

Summary
The basic concept of this subject is the introduction of the building as a complex set of processes beginning with its preparation, which is the cornerstone and predisposition for its future safe execution.
Temporary or mobile construction sites constitute an area of activity that exposes workers to particularly high levels of risk. Unsatisfactory architectural and /or organizational options or poor planning of the works at the project preparation stage have played a role in more than half of the occupational accidents occurring on construction sites. When a project is being carried out, a large number of occupational accidents may be caused by inadequate coordination, particularly where various undertakings work simultaneously or in succession at the same temporary or mobile construction site
Therefore, students will be acquainted with the theoretical foundations of OSH management in the preparation stage and execution stage of constructions, they will understand the importance of individual processes and persons responsible for them. Significant space will be devoted to OSH coordination on the construction site in various model situations.
Overall, the subject matter is designed to respect the state-of-the-art in safety,
in addition to the applicable standards and approaches used at international (ILO, OSHA) and EU (EU-OSHA) levels.
