Mandatory safety training

Testo

Students, PhD students, resident physicians, research grant holders, interns, scholarship holders and similar staff, in teaching, research and other types of laboratories and, in general, when they are included in the risk assessment documents (DVR), are subject to the same health and safety requirements as the University's academic, technical and administrative staff and language expert staff (article 8 of the University Safety Regulations, which transposes the provisions of Ministerial Decree 369/98). 

In particular, the following are subject to mandatory safety training:

  • undergraduate and graduate students, PhD students, and students coming to UniTrento with international mobility programmes (Erasmus+, Bilateral Agreements, Double Degree, and more) who have access to laboratories with exposure to specific risks, including computer labs;
  • students who work for the University on a temporary basis ("studenti 150 ore") or as peer tutors (students employed by Opera Universitaria are not included).

Mandatory safety training for all students is structured as follows:

  • General training;
  • Specific training (low risk – medium risk – high risk).

Target group: this course is essential to carry out work, even if temporary, at University facilities. 

Mode: online self-study course. 

Duration: 4 hours. 

Languages: available in Italian and English. 

Final assessment: those who pass the final test obtain a certificate and an Open Digital Badge (ODB) that does not expire. 

This is a "training credit" that you can use should you be employed by an employer that has this training requirement.

  • click the "Corsi online ai quali partecipi" option;
