Promoting the continuous improvement of working and study conditions of the entire university community is one the basic principles and goals of the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena. Such commitment to prevention and the responsibilities arising from it concern all realms of the university: governing bodies, management team, teaching and research staff, administrative and service staff and students. The UPCT Service of Occupational Hazards (Servicio de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales de la UPCT) has published a "Risk Prevention Manual for new students" (Manual de acogida al estudiante en materia de prevención de riesgos), which may be downloaded from the e-learning platform ("Aula Virtual"), with instructions and recommendations on how to act properly, from the point of view of prevention (safety, ergonomics, etc.), when developing any type of activity at the University. You will also find recommendations on how to proceed in an emergency or if an incident occurs. Particularly when carrying out training practices in laboratories, workshops or field work, you must follow all your teacher's instructions, because he/she is the person responsible for your safety and health during practice performance. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and do not put your safety or that of your classmates at risk.
Class in conventional classroom: theory, problems, case studies, seminars, etc
- Exposure of theory lessons with ICT support in class and resolution of doubts raised by the students.
- Case studies.

Class in laboratory: practical classes / internships
Laboratory practices. Students will prepare a report of the laboratory practices that will be graded. Students who do not attend the laboratory practices for justified reasons, as established in the regulations, will have the option of preparing and submitting the report. In the final exam there will be a question so that those students who have not attended the laboratory practices or have not presented the report can opt for the corresponding percentage of the subject grade.

Class in the field or open classroom: practical classes
Technical visit. Visit of a company specializing in the production of agrochemicals or a certified laboratory that performs diagnostic analysis to evaluate the presence of pesticides in soil, water and harvested products. Students will prepare a report of the visit that will be graded. Students who do not attend the visit for justified reasons, as established in the regulations, will have the option of preparing and submitting the report. In the final exam there will be a question so that those students who have not attended the technical visit or have not submitted the report can opt for the corresponding percentage of the subject grade.
