About the course
Course content
The course deals with:
- Objectives for work with Health, Safety and Environment (HSE).
- Regulations and guidelines concerning HSE-work
- Systematic HSE work
- Reporting of HSE problems and discrepancies
- Risk Assessment
- HSE responsibilities, roles and resources at NTNU and NV-faculty
- Emergency preparedness: what are you going to do and who to notify when something happens?
- Fire protection-theory and practical exercises using fire extinguishing equipment.
- First aid-theory and practical exercises in heart-lung resuscitation and the use of heart starter.
The course does not provide specific training in HSE aimed at various laboratory fields and activities. This training is done by the individual departments.
Learning outcome
Students shall have the necessary knowledge about HSE to ensure their own and other people's safety during their study at NTNU. This includes knowledge of the HSE-concept, objectives for the HSE work and how to behave safely in laboratories and during field work.
The theoretical and practical basic training in first aid and fire protection shall provide the students with a basis for correct handling of a fire or accident situation.
Learning methods and activities
Safety lecture (2 hours) first aid, theory and practical exercises (3 hours) fire regulations and protection, including practical exercises (2 hours).
The mandatory activities take place in week 34. Exemption for first aid course is provided only on basis of documented participation in first aid course during the current or previous year.
- Applied Physics and Mathematics: Students with specialization in "Industrial Mathematics" do not need to take the HSE-course.
- Natural Resources Management: Only students with specialization "Biology" have to attend the HSE-course, (i.e. not Geography and Resource Geology students).
Compulsory assignments
