Synopsis:

The safety of work on the construction site is key in the conditions of the modern construction industry and precisely in relation to our integration into EU structures. Within this subject, students are introduced to the application of OSH for a specific industry, namely the construction industry, to the obligations of employers and employees, to the performance of state professional supervision, to the issue of occupational accidents (processes of their registration, investigation and compensation), to the creation of a safe workplace, categorization of work , occupational medical care, occupational risks (obligations of the employer, identification and assessment of risks, measures to minimize them), with personal protective work equipment. Furthermore, they are familiarized with the basic requirements for health and safety during the implementation of construction activities, with the performance of the health and safety coordinator during the preparation and implementation of constructions, health and safety during the use and operation of construction machinery, technical equipment and dedicated technical equipment, with risks associated with construction activities, with fire risks during implementation buildings, with the application of OSH in the design of buildings and the design of their implementation, with transport on the construction site, OSH training.

Requirements:

Submitting the seminar paper (min. 3 times consultation) and meeting sufficient attendance (max. 2 . Successful completion of the exam test and the oral part of the exam.
