Risks prevention

Promoting the continuous improvement of working and study conditions of the entire university community is one the basic principles and goals of the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena. Such commitment to prevention and the responsibilities arising from it concern all realms of the university: governing bodies, management team, teaching and research staff, administrative and service staff and students. The UPCT Service of Occupational Hazards (Servicio de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales de la UPCT) has published a "Risk Prevention Manual for new students" (Manual de acogida al estudiante en materia de prevención de riesgos), which may be downloaded from the e-learning platform ("Aula Virtual"), with instructions and recommendations on how to act properly, from the point of view of prevention (safety, ergonomics, etc.), when developing any type of activity at the University. You will also find recommendations on how to proceed in an emergency or if an incident occurs. Particularly when carrying out training practices in laboratories, workshops or field work, you must follow all your teacher's instructions, because he/she is the person responsible for your safety and health during practice performance. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and do not put your safety or that of your classmates at risk.

Information

Comments

Students may use any materials and tools they believe will assist them, including computers and laptops. Case studies and assigned readings provided by the instructor must be completed at home and submitted (between 2 and 4 deliverables).

Students not participating in the continuous assessment system must, in addition to the final exam, complete a practical exercise based on the case studies and readings covered throughout the academic term. In doing so, they may use any materials they deem appropriate for the practical exercise. This will serve to compensate for the practical component of the final grade.
