Students and employees learn safety thanks to Civil Protection courses

A protocol was signed today through which the University's offices will also be monitored

Thanks to a collaboration protocol signed this morning, students attending the University of the Republic of San Marino will be offered courses on workplace safety, managed by the Civil Protection Service of San Marino, which will also be responsible for training staff.

The agreement, which includes aspects such as fire prevention and first aid, also provides for the creation of risk assessment documents for university buildings and laboratories, created through the analysis of the spaces involved and based on information that will include, among other things, a database of all employees in which roles, duties and other useful information will be reported. The Civil Protection Service, for its part, will be able to count on the skills of the University and its research, particularly in the field of Civil Engineering.

"The strength of this agreement - explains Laura Gobbi, Director General of the University of San Marino - is represented by the countless and positive consequences that it will be able to guarantee to the entire university community, immediately and for a long time. In addition to contributing to a safe environment, in fact, it will provide a set of tools and information that, in the case of students, will become useful to them already in the context of the training internships provided for by the courses they are attending, as well as in the use of laboratories. In this sense - she concludes - the experience and knowledge of the Civil Protection will be valued, protagonist of an agreement created with the careful and timely contribution of the General Directorate of the Public Function".

The protocol was signed at the headquarters of the Civil Protection, in Borgo Maggiore, by the general director of the University and the Director of the Service, Pietro Falcioni, who expressed satisfaction for the signing of an agreement described as "certificate of collaboration between the two entities, from which emerges the common goal aimed at raising awareness on the issue of safety and the continuous search for increasingly safer working environments".

The document represents further progress in the field of improving health and safety in the workplace. In relation to these profiles, the General Directorate of Public Function has promoted significant interventions also with a view to greater integration and coordination of the PA and the Enlarged Public Sector Bodies.

"The joint commitment and concrete actions undertaken in 2024 have been various - says the director of the Civil Service, Manuel Canti - among these, of particular importance are the renewal of the agreement with the Trade Unions regarding the procedures for appointing Workers' Representatives for Safety (RLS) in the Broader Public Sector, the carrying out of an innovative survey on organizational well-being and work-related stress as well as the widespread planning and organization of training aimed at those responsible for safety and health in the workplace according to current legislation. Another significant intervention, promoted by the DGFP and the Prevention and Protection Service, with the important commitment of the manager Eleonora Guidi, is represented by the adoption by the State Congress, in its capacity as employer of the Broader Public Sector, of a resolution with which the attributions and operating procedures of the figures involved in the safety chain were outlined and formalized for the first time".
