Management of safety in construction sites and Lab
Academic Year 2026/2027 - Teacher:
CAROLA TARDO
Expected Learning Outcomes
The
course aims to prepare for the design and management of safety in
temporary and mobile construction sites with particular regard to the
training content provided for by Legislative Decree 81/08. Frontal
training will be provided which, starting from the indications provided
by EU directives, will lead to the development of skills in the
activities of safety coordinator on construction sites. An exercise will
be developed with the detailed processing of all the documentation
pertaining to the safety coordinator in the design and execution phase.
Course Structure
Frontal lessons in classroom.
Required Prerequisites
There aren't prerequisities.
Attendance of Lessons
The student is required to attend at least 80% of the lessons of the course.

RELEVANCE OF TEACHING WITH THE OBJECTIVES OF THE 2030 AGENDA:
The
creation of building, structural and infrastructural products is in an
era of strong development; the proliferation of numerous construction
sites across the country, from north to south, shows the nation's desire
to promote long-lasting, inclusive and sustainable economic growth,
which aims to guarantee full employment and decent work for all. The
teaching in question aims in particular to prepare future engineers for
the world of employment and work, which often, at the end of a course of
study, is foreign and alienating for those approaching it for the first
time.
It is therefore believed that the teaching
"SAFETY MANAGEMENT ON CONSTRUCTION SITE AND LABORATORY" is relevant to
what is reported in objective no. 8 of the 2030 Agenda: the main
sub-objectives are the increase in productivity and the creation of
dignified and safe jobs in all sectors, with particular reference to the
construction sector, in contrast with forced labor and the of modern
"slavery", which must be eradicated by 2030.
However,
sustainable economic growth cannot occur at the expense of the
environment. We therefore require, starting from small construction
sites and the way they are conducted while respecting the safety of
workers and the environment, the improvement of efficiency in the use of
resources in consumption and production and pursues the decoupling of
economic growth from environmental degradation.
