Teaching Methodologies
Lectures and interactive classes using audiovisual and interactive media will enable the acquisition of knowledge. A more practical aspect will be carried out experimentally using techniques and working methods to guide the implementation of safety principles, namely through technical visits to workplaces, simulating work contexts and presenting and solving problems with the definition of corrective/preventive measures.
