Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student will be aware of the chemical risk and of the best practices for its assessment and management. She/he will know the most critical hazards of chemical substances for the health and the safety of people and for promotion of a healthy and safe production and use of chemicals.The student will be able to: 1. evaluate the chemical safe and health procedures in laboratory and industry; 2. implement a correct and benign relationship between producers and customers; 3. propose solutions fo an efficient management of the chemical risk.

(2) Health and safety in chemistry
- Understanding the Chemical Hazards
- Classification, Labeling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
- Chemical reactivity hazards: Hazards of the reactions
- Control of the risk: Laboratory engineering controls.
- Control of the risk: PPE
- Risk assessment: COSHH essentials. Easy steps to control chemicals
- Safety using and handling nanoparticles.
- Emergencies and chemical waste disposal
(3) Safety in the use of Chemicals
The module will give to the student key concepts about:
- Controlling the use of chemicals.
- Control of the illicit use

Readings/Bibliography
Slides with a list of suggested references will be available for students.
Teaching methods
The Course Unit is divided in three modules. Each module is organized in theoretical classes where main concepts are explained, as well as tutorial classes with discussion of case-study examples.
Assessment methods
Each module is assessed through a written assignment, or group assignment, or Individual report of a given problem related to the module content, or power point presentation of an assigned topic, including a report on literature research.
The Course Unit grade will be the arithmetic mean of grades from the three modules.
