Safety Course
Students must attend the online training course on safety in the workplace by connecting to https://elly2024.formazione.unipr.it/ and logging in with their University credentials.
The training is divided into three modules to be completed in succession. At the end of each module, a certificate is issued, which the student must print out and keep.
The three certificates must also be sent by e-mail to segreteria.farmacia@unipr.it in order to obtain recognition of the ECTS credit to which the course entitles.
In order to attend the didactic workshops scheduled from the second year onwards, the student must hand in a copy of the three certificates to the lecturer at the beginning of the course.
Based on the State-Regions Agreement of 21 December 2011, the duration of the certificates is 5 years, with the exception of general training (module 1) which has no expiry.
The specific training relating to any activities of an experimental nature is the responsibility of the Heads of Teaching and Research Activities or of the external structures at which these activities are carried out, and must be formalised by the trainer [form], delivered to the student and communicated to the Department.
LIST OF TUTORS:
