Content and teaching methods

First, seminars based on analyses conducted by an experienced professional lecturer in varying industrial sectors are given as examples to introduce the methodology. Then, site visits are organised in group. These visits are commented by the occupational physician in charge of the plant or company, possibly also by the internal prevention advisor and/or the direction of the company. The student then writes a synthesis of the data collected during each visit. These reports are discussed and criticized during a last seminar.

Instructions on the seminars, site visits and for drafting the reports are posted on icampus.
Evaluation is based on the written reports presented by the student.
