Knowledge and understanding on using standard document. Knowledge and understanding methodologies for risk analisys approach in particular for the electrical risk. The aims of the course are: 1. to provide notions about the interpretation of epidemiological studies, data analysis, and the relationships of health outcome to risk factors in the environment and the workplace; 2. to evalute and assess the risk factors associated with safety and health in a hospital environment. The program of epidemiology includes the designs of epidemiological studies, measures of outcome occurrence, and risk estimators used in cohort, case-control and cross-sectional studies. The program of health risks in a hospital environment includes the physical, chemical and biological risks, interactions between occupational and non- occupational risk factors, and legislations for the protection of the workers against risks arising from occupational exposures at the workplace

The exam will consist of an oral test where the student will have to demonstrate that he has understood the topics proposed in the course. The evaluation of the exam will be in x/30. The evaluation of the student includes a written and/or oral test, possible tests in progress in which questions concerning the course program are proposed The student must demonstrate that he has achieved the learning objectives of the course. The exam score is attributed by means of a vote expressed out of thirty. To pass the exam (18/30) the student must demonstrate that he has acquired sufficient knowledge of the topics. To achieve the maximum score (30/30 cum laude), the student must demonstrate that he has acquired an excellent knowledge of all the topics covered.

This course explores topics related to one or more objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Gender assessment of risks in healthcare professionals Epidemiological assessment of risk factors for health and in the workplace
