Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
In this course, as a contribution to the formation of the future master it is intended that the student understands and investigate different themes - Health and Safety at Work and Fire Safety in Buildings - situating the work within the collection and classification of information of a legal nature and technique to ensure proper coordination between various topics: accidents, risk assessment, preventive measures, collective protection and individual safety coordination in the construction sector, management of emergency procedures, firefighting, evacuation of workers case of grave and imminent danger and training workers.
Syllabus:
Accidents in the construction and public works sector; Legislation and applicable standards; Risk Assessment and Countermeasures; Collective and personal protective equipment; Security Coordination; Security Surveillance; Concept of Fire Safety; Context and Legal Framework of Fire Safety in Buildings; Methodologies, tools and equipment necessary for project structuring; Characterization of buildings and enclosures; Common external conditions; Conditions of Fire Behaviour, Isolation and Protection; Evacuation conditions; General conditions of facilities and equipment; General conditions of self-protection.
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
1. Practical Classes
1.1. Description:
Exposition of the main points of matter, whenever possible with the use of elements of observation, complemented with exercises designed to solve specific situations. In this process, it reveals fundamental, the work developed by the student outside the classroom, through a strong interaction with the platform of distance learning UFP, which are placed various elements of work, a continuation of the process developed in the classroom.
1.2. Objective: Students should be able to prepare a Fire Safety Plan for the specific nature of economic activity and developed the technical and legal constraints arising from the legal framework. In this context should be able to theoretically substantiate the conclusions reached; as well as be able to communicate these results clearly orally and written.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
The teaching methodology will initially expository and interrogatory. When the contents are known will go to a methodology of discovery. It is intended to be a strategy to ensure the process of critical reflection.
The assessment includes two tests and a theoretical and practical work.
