More detailed information about the course will be given in Blackboard.

Training in HSE is important in order to reach key objectives for HSE-work at the NV faculty:

  • Ensure a safe working environment and prevent damage to people and equipment.

  • Ensure that all leaders, employees, and students know their HSE responsibilities and have the knowledge and the attitudes needed to fulfil these responsibilities.

  • Include knowledge and awareness of HSE as an important part of the education at NV.

The NV faculty arranges the following courses for students:

  • All 1. year students attend a safety course with focus on lab safety and training in first aid and fire protection. You can find more information (in Norwegian) on the website for safety course.
  • Before starting the master study, students shall attend a course in HSE. The course includes repetition of first aid and fire protection training.

Specific HSE training within various laboratory fields is done by the departments and is not covered by HSE-course given by the faculty.

All students starting their master study autumn 2022 or spring 2023 shall attend the course upon their first semester arrival at campus.

The HSE-course for master students will provide information about health & safety work at NTNU and the NV faculty. It includes training in first aid and fire protection. Many of you have probably had first aid courses and/or fire protection courses earlier. We consider (in line with general practice) that it is necessary to refresh this knowledge on a regular basis. Everyone should therefore attend regardless of prior training.

Objective for the HSE-course for master students

In the master's study, you will work more independently. Thus, it is very important that you have the necessary knowledge of HSE and your responsibilities. The HSE course shall, in combination with the training in laboratory specific HSE given by the departments, give you the necessary knowledge.
