Healthy and safe study environment
A healthy and safe study environment lies at the intersection of the study environment and the working environment, both in terms of legislation and at DTU.
The Danish Educational Environment Act and the Danish Working Environment Act
Students are covered by both the Danish Educational Environment Act and the Danish Working Environment Act. Students are covered by the Working Environment Act when they perform practical exercises of a work-related nature, for example in workshops and laboratories. The working conditions associated with students' practical exercises must be fully safe and healthy.
All other conditions relating to students are covered by the Educational Environment Act.
DTU’s Working Environment Policy and Sub-Policy on the Study Environment
DTU has adopted a Working Environment Policy and a Sub-Policy on the Study Environment, which provide the overall framework and direction for the working environment and study environment at DTU as a whole. DTU students are covered by both policies.
DTU aims to create a university environment for employees, students, and visitors that ensures a working and study environment that promotes well-being, job satisfaction, and creativity. DTU places a high priority on maintaining a positive university environment and therefore works systematically to continuously improve all aspects of both the working environment and the study environment.
