Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to create a comprehensive overview of occupational safety and hygiene with a focus on the specifics of work in the chemical industry or chemical laboratory. The course covers legislative, administrative and practical aspects of testing and handling of chemicals.
After completing the course, the student is capable of orientation in occupational safety issues and should be able to apply the acquired knowledge when working with chemical substances or waste management.
