What are safety training courses

With the enactment of Legislative Decree 81/08 on Safety in the Workplace, all public and private entities are mandated      to inform and train their employees on safety-related topics. Employees, on the other hand, are obligated to adhere to the provided directions and directives within their work area.     

It is compulsory for access to the internship or workshop to attend all modules (in a single administration) of Workplace Safety Training provided in your course of study.

Students who are exposed to specific hazards, such as in laboratories, are considered equivalent to workers in terms of occupational safety. Hence, they must receive equal information and training. Similar to employees, these students also carry the same obligations concerning occupational safety.
