Safety and health at work of Mining Engineering students

Abstract

The education of engineers in carrying out actions for the prevention of occupational risks, accidents and incidents and professional diseases is part of the integral training to which Cuban higher education contributes. For this reason, a study of the theoretical basis was made, it allowed to determine the main aspects of the subject that converge in its development with the help of the teaching tasks. This justifies, the use of methods such as: dialectical-materialist, historical-logical, analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive, pedagogical observation, interview, survey and mathematical-statistical methods. That is why the aim is: to elaborate teaching tasks that promote Education on Safety and Health at Work of Mining Engineering major students, in the University of Moa, Dr. Antonio Núñez Jiménez. The result showed that the insufficiencies presented by the students require alternatives that favor the transformation of the current reality in several scope of action, and fostering their education as part of the country's economic and social development project.
