The Prevention and Protection Service offers training programmes for workers at Politecnico, differentiated according to the type and risk levels of the activity carried out.

 Training on health and safety at work is aimed at workers and figures legally equivalent, as well as other subjects of the company prevention and protection system – managers, supervisors, RADRL, RLS, emergency team employees – to whom we want to transfer the knowledge and procedures useful for carrying out safely their respective company tasks and for the identification, reduction and management of risks.

For using certain equipment, systems, substances, personal protective equipment and work procedures, in addition to theoretical training, practical training is provided to help workers learn the correct use methods and the safety measures to be adopted. 

Participation in the courses is mandatory: for courses delivered in live videoconference/in presence mode  a special tool is required.
