Training Knowledge is at the heart of prevention
Occupational safety stems from knowledge – invest in yourself through training.
Not only is training mandatory – it is an opportunity to gain awareness of the risks associated with your work. Knowing how to handle these risks can prevent injuries and illnesses.
Here are the safety training courses on offer for each role at the University.
Professors, assistant professors, professional staff, foreign language instructors and assistants, research fellows, PhD students, specialisation school students and grant holders.
Depending on your tasks, check which modules you are required to take.
