The domain of occupational hygiene and safety is seen as a key element to the success of organizations.
Companies should hire technicians with specific competences that allow them to develop and coordinate activities of prevention, protection and professional risk control.
Taking into consideration the need to train qualified and highly-differentiated professionals, the technical-scientific area of environmental health promotes a study programme in hygiene and safety at work, awarding the masters degree.
