Edification for MU students about Ensuring occupational safety and health Ensuring occupational safety and health (including activities related to the studies, hereinafter referred to as OSH) is one of the prerequisite for the university to properly perform its educational role. OSH is a process based on risk assessment and measures to reduce them. Creating an environment for safe, risk-free work is one the basic responsibilities of the university and its managerial workers. Nevertheless, according to the law, each student must take care of himself, keeping himself and others (people working or present at the premises) safe, in accordance with the student's abilities. Since the OSH requirements differ between individual faculties and facilities, the students will always be informed about safety regulations and trained in accordance with the specific local conditions before the classes begin. Rights of the student: • Students have a right to receive clear information about risks related to practical classes. • Students have a right to know what hazards and risks are present at the university's premises where they attend classes or practical classes when studying under a university program, or that are directly related to these. Students have a right to know what should they do in case of an accident or emergency like a fire, an explosion, etc. • Students must engage in any activities without receiving proper training first. • Students have a right to be present when OSH-related issues are discussed. Obligations of the students: In order to protect their health and health of others, the students must: • Adhere to the principles of safe behavior at all MUNI's premises, in classrooms, laboratories, workshops, sports facilities, corridors, stairs, etc. • Follow safety rules and instructions they were introduced to. • Follow instructions on safety signs placed around the faculty. • Agree to have their knowledge tested in the scope of the regulatiopn or certain activity, if it is required by safety regulations or justified by risks related to the activity. • Report any faults that might pose a risk to OSH to academic or managerial workers and help removing them, within reasonable means. • Not use alcohol or other substances or attend classes under the influence of such substances. • Report any injuries that happened during performance of academic duties, or in direct connection with these, to a responsible academic supervisor. • Students must not use, turn off, turn on, or handle any machines, devices or tools that were not assigned to them over the course of their classes and on the use of which they did not receive any instructions.
