General description A industria química está suxeita a unha estricta lexislación en materia de seguridade laboral. Por iso o profesional da química debe de coñecer todos aqueles aspectos que poden dar lugar a situación de risco no solo para as persoas si non, tamén, para os bens e o medioambiente.
A seguridade das persoas, dos traballadores e do medioambiente son fundamentáis, hoxe en día, e cada vez máis nas empresas. A xestión da seguridade industrial evita grandes gastos nas empresas xa que as catástrofes xeradas por unha inadecuada xestión se resolven pola vía do código civil e evita que os profesionais se teñan que enfrontar á vía do código penal. Ademas, de xerar unha mala imaxe das empresas na sociedade.
Contingency plan 1. Modificacións nos contidos
- Non hai modificacións.

2. Metodoloxías
Metodoloxías docentes que se manteñen
- Mantéñense todas as metodoloxías docentes (sesión magristral, seminarios e proba obxectiva).

Metodoloxías docentes que se modifican:
As metodoloxías docentes adaptaranse á modalidade híbrida:
- As sesións maxistrais e seminarios levarán a cabo de forma síncrona no horario establecido no calendario de actividades, a través da plataforma Teams.
-A proba obxectiva levará a cabo a través das plataformas Moodle e Teams no horario establecido no calendario de actividades.

3. Mecanismos de atención personalizada ao alumnado:
- Correo electrónico: Diariamente. Os profesores da materia estarán dispoñibles para facer consultas, solicitar encontros virtuais para resolver dúbidas e facer o seguimento das actividades.
– Teams: Diariamente. Os profesores da materia estarán dispoñibles para facer consultas, solicitar encontros virtuais para resolver dúbidas e facer o seguimento das actividades.

4. Modificacións na avaliación:
- Non levarán a cabo modificacións nas porcentaxes das distintas actividades avaliables.

Observacións de avaliación:
- Mantéñense as observacións á avaliación da guía docente.

5. Modificacións da bibliografía ou webgrafía
- Non levarán a cabo modificacións. Os estudantes dispoñerán de toda a información necesaria a través de Moodle e da biblioteca da facultade.

Assessment comments

Taking into account that, in the industry, the development of writing reports and oral presentations is important, it will be valued:
- Clarity.
- Non-spelling errors.
- Quick response of the writing reports to be presented by the student. 

In the case of students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic assistance waiver, the qualification of the seminars will be replaced by that obtained in the personal tutorials.
 
Students who attend fewer than 25% of planned academic activities and do not assist to the objective test, will be qualified as "Not presented".
