Contents	- Reference lows - Biological risk factors and collective protective equipment - Chemical risk factor - Carcinogens and mutagens risk factor - Physical and related risk factor * - Personal protective equipment (PPE) - Waste management - Elements of fire protection * with the exception of risk factors by ionizing radiation
Reference texts	Material provided by teacher
Educational objectives	At the end of the course the student will have acquired knowledge concerning the rules governing safety in the workplace with particular reference to the laboratory. Must know the main risk factors characteristic of the laboratory (biohazard, chemical hazard, risk from carcinogens and mutagens, physical risk) and measures of prevention and protection. Must also know the correct methods of waste management and procedures for prevention and fire protection.
Prerequisites	No requirements are required
Teaching methods	Face to face lessons
Learning verification modality	Is realized a final test consisting of 30 multiple choice questions of which 10 for each form of teaching. The time course of the test is 60 minutes. The goal of the test is to verify the ownership of the knowledge acquired by the student in relation to what is defined by the programs of the different teaching modules
