As usual since 5 years ago, the students of the university master’s degree in Occupational Health and Safety of the Universitat de València have participated in an activity that took place in the facilities of the Delegación de Defensa of the Comunitat Valenciana.
The Lieutenant Colonel Tomás Lahuerta and the Squadron Leader Ángel García, explained the quality management systems, the actions intended to reduce the potential environmental impact of their facilities, and the occupational risk preventions that are applied in the Delegación.
They explained to the students the prevention measures that this entity has adopted so as to ensure the safety and health not only of the citizens but also of the people who make up the staff.
