Professional interest

Industrial Safety is a key consideration on the development of an industrial activity, in order to avoid or reduce material risks and/or personal injury that may occur as a result of that activity. It is therefore of great importance for a Mechanical Engineer to know the legal documents and procedures to identify and minimize these risks.

Competencies and learning outcomes

General competencies

Capacity for drafting, signing, and developing projects within the field of mechanical engineering aimed at construction, remodeling, repair, maintenance, demolition, manufacturing, installation, assembly and/or the operation of structures, mechanical equipment, energy installations, electrical and electronic installations, industrial installations and plants, and manufacturing and automation processes.
Ability to manage the kinds of engineering projects described in the preceding competency.
Knowledge about basic and technological material that enable learning new methods and theories, providing versatility for adapting to new situations.
Ability to manage specifications, regulations, and mandatory standards.
Ability to apply quality principles and methods.
Knowledge, understanding, and capacity to apply the necessary legislation in exercising the profession of technical industrial engineer.

Specific competencies

Knowledge and skills for organizing and managing projects. Understanding about the organizational structure and functions of a project office.

Objectives (Learning outcomes)

01To know the fundamentals and current legislation on Industrial Safety
02To identify and assess risks in industrial facilities, manufacturing processes, work environments and machinery
03To address design problems from the perspective of Security
04To know actions and protections available against fire on buildings
05To know the minimum requirements on safety to apply in machines and work equipment for their introduction int he market, use and implementation
06To identify the risks and preventive measures for the work in confined spaces, in explosive atmospheres, in installations with legionella risks and during the ground transport of dangerous goods

Methodology and grading

Methodology

Case studies: Learning through the analysis of actual or simulated cases in order to interpret and resolve them by employing various alternative solution procedures.
Lecture: Pass on knowledge and activate cognitive processes in students, encouraging their participation.
Problem-based learning: Develop active learning strategies through problem solving that promote thinking, experimentation, and decision making in the student.
Project-based learning: Realization of a project to solve a problem, applying acquired learning and promoting abilities related to planning, design, performing activities, and reaching conclusions.
Solving exercises and problems: Exercise, test, and apply previous knowledge through routine repetition.

Grading

The subject will be evaluated by continuous assessment, taking into account the marks obtained in the partial exam about Fire Protection, the reports of the practices and the work to be done at the end of the course.
In addition, students can also opt for a final exam, which will consist of a theoretical part and a practical part.
