Safety
The Department of Chemical Sciences has always been committed to and attentive to the application of workplace safety regulations, both in terms of student training and the implementation of teaching and research activities.
The Department has established a Department Safety Support Office, Special Waste Disposal and Laboratory Teaching Activities, which assists and supports the Department Head in coordinating all activities related to the application and monitoring of safety procedures in the department's laboratories.
Responsibilities:
➢ The office collaborates with the University's Prevention and Protection Service (SPP). It provides the SPP with information regarding the nature of risks, work organization, and the planning and implementation of preventive and protective measures. It assists the SPP in the drafting of the Risk Assessment Document (DVR).
➢ The office supports the Department Head:
▪ In establishing and providing workers, in coordination with the Responsible for Laboratory Risk Prevention (RADRL), with the necessary and suitable personal protective equipment (PPE);
▪ In planning the verification of the efficiency of key safety devices such as chemical fume hoods and laminar flow hoods;
▪ In communicating to the Occupational Health and Document Management Office (USSGD) the list of workers to be submitted for medical evaluation of fitness for employment and in organizing specific risk training courses for the job position.

Health and Safety Obligations for University Students
All university students (including undergraduates, PhD candidates, residents, interns, scholarship holders, research fellows, and other individuals considered equivalent) who carry out activities in teaching, research, or service laboratories, and are exposed to risks identified in the Risk Assessment Document (DVR), are to be considered equivalent to workers. Consequently, they are subject to the same prevention and protection measures established to safeguard health and safety in the workplace.
Training
General Safety Training
Before beginning any activity that involves exposure to occupational risks, each university student (so-called equivalent worker) is required to complete the online course titled "General Training on Health and Safety at Work", which has a duration of 4 hours and includes a final test.
Instructions for accessing and correctly completing the course are available at the following link: link
Specific Risk Training (12 hours)
Students of the Department of Chemical Sciences (DSC) – including those enrolled in Master's Degree programs who have not previously completed the training – must also attend an additional 12-hour course on specific risk factors.
Detailed information about the course content and schedule is available at the following link: link.
The course will be held online via Microsoft Teams. Students will be enrolled in the class by the course instructor a few days before the course begins.
Please note: Students must complete the 4-hour general training before attending the specific risk course.
Booking the 12-Hour Specific Risk Course
To enroll in the training course, students must complete the registration form, selecting only one of the proposed dates. The selected date is considered a preference. If the number of registrants exceeds the maximum allowed for a single session (35 participants), students will automatically be assigned to the next available date.
To register, simply click on the preferred date in the form.
No active classes are currently available. However, you may submit a preliminary registration at the following link: qui.
A class will be activated once 35 students have registered, and the course dates will be communicated shortly thereafter.
Health Surveillance
Starting from the 2021/2022 academic year, the medical examination for health surveillance is mandatory only for students starting a laboratory-based thesis project or an external internship (extra-moenia).
Gestione delle emergenze
Emergency Management
In the event of an emergency, it is essential to implement a series of measures to ensure the correct execution of operations, as well as the proper and safe functioning of devices intended to prevent an accident or to ensure its safe progression. For the Department of Chemical Sciences (DSC), a Coordinator and a Vice Coordinator have been appointed for emergency management, selected from the members of the fire-fighting and evacuation team. The team also includes first-aid personnel, as well as fire-fighting and evacuation staff.

Gestione primo soccorso
First aid refers to the set of interventions, maneuvers, and actions carried out by anyone who encounters a medical emergency, while waiting for specialized personnel to arrive. In emergency situations, an appropriate and timely intervention can be crucial for an individual's survival.
Anyone witnessing an incident, such as an injury or illness of a person within the Department, must:
- Alert the reception, which will call the first aid personnel.
- Remove bystanders from the injured person.
- Wait for the arrival of the first aid personnel.
- In case of serious injuries, immediately call emergency services (118).
- Examine the area where the injured person is located to identify and eliminate any additional hazards.
