Believing in the importance of creating a healthy and safe academic work environment free of significant hazards, the Faculty of Engineering at Shubra has come to fully realize that this goal cannot be achieved effectively without the participation of all faculty members and staff in taking responsibility for the safety of the work environment and eliminating any potential risks.
Accordingly, a workshop was held on Sunday, November 5, 2023, at the Al-Khalafawi building to raise awareness among all faculty members, assistants, students, department heads, employees, and workers about risks resulting from mistakes or negligence, which may lead to physical or psychological health damages.
The workshop aimed to identify emerging occupational hazards and methods to control and manage them. The first lecture, delivered by Assistant Professor Dr. Hanaa Abu El-Magd from the Department of Natural Sciences, highlighted some potential dangers in laboratories and workshops. The second lecture, presented by Dr. Islam Saqr from the Mechanical Engineering Department, focused on how to deal with fires, followed by practical training on the use of fire extinguishers to combat fires. This training was intended to qualify technical workers and all faculty members for proper readiness in this field to face any potential hazards and reduce them.
This training created full awareness among all college staff, whether administrative units or academic departments. It provided a comprehensive explanation of safety procedures that must be followed in case of any hazards, God forbid.
At the end of the workshop, the necessity of having safety and security personnel present to take appropriate measures to prevent accidents whenever possible was emphasized, along with offering assistance when requested during emergencies, crises, or accidents.
