Key words
SAFETY,HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

Objectives
Within the VWM – management module, the basic responsible-care elements are discussed partly in three active domains namely Safety – Welness– Environment.
The final objective is to obtain on the basis of this relation-triangle a better insight into an integrated VWM – management, tuned up the chemical industry.

Topics
Responsible care norms.
Technical aspects and legislation : safety, welness, environment.
Risk-analysis procedures.
Integrated VGM-management.
Strategies, communication.
Case – studies and guestlectures in co-operation with chemical industry (Solutia, P&G)

Prerequisites
Broad scientific basis.

Final Objectives
General scientific competences [AWC1,AWC2,AWC3,AWC4]
To be able to think and argue in a logical, critical, creative and scientific manner and to implement scientific insights to related problems.
On the same time the must be able to communicate verbal and/or written in an efficient manner and to report upon scientific/technical problems, to collect and assimilate derived knowledge and information.

General competences [AC1, AC5]
The student must be able to discus and to solve problems efficiently in team and has to perform quality minded.

Specific competences [SC8]
During process engineering, processing and production (control) , the student has to take care of the environmental - , safety- and health/welness aspects.

Assessment
Periodical written and oral examination.

A weighted average is used to compute the final score for a training item. However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items) , he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus.
Of course, the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less.
For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn't pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
