SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT
Module SAFETY OF MACHINES AND SYSTEMS

Academic Year 2023/2024 - Teacher: LUCIANO CARUSO

Expected Learning Outcomes

With reference to the Dublin descriptors, the student at the end of the course should acquire

A) Knowledge and understanding

Knowledge of the principles that underlie worker safety and the concept of a safe machine/installation

B) Applying knowledge and understanding

Ability to identify, recognize risk situations present in the work environment and apply the related regulatory aspects and contribute to training needs

C) making judgements

Ability to highlight the risks present and among the different possible technical and behavioral solutions, select which ones to adopt to eliminate or, at least, mitigate them, highlighting the residual risks

D) Communication skills

Ability to correctly use technical terms to be able to interact and interact with specialists. Ability to simplify and make aspects relating to workplace safety understandable, even to non-specialists

E) Learning skills

Ability to learn the topics covered through logical-deductive methods rather than mnemonic

Course Structure

Lectures and exercises (classroom and company), also on line

If teaching is done in mixed or remote mode, specific changes to the program may need to be made.
