If you are a UB staff and you carry out your activity in other centres
The University of Barcelona collaborates and participates in many research projects, campaigns and scientific research field trips in which UB staff can share working spaces and interact with other people from other companies and/or institutions.
It is necessary that all companies and/or institutions that interact with each other cooperate in the application of the regulations on the prevention of occupational risks, so that their respective workers can carry out their activities with the maximum of safety and health.
This procedure must be carried out by the principal investigator of the agreement or research project or the person to whom this function is delegated.
Remember that, in addition to completing this procedure, as the principal investigator and contact person/representative for the external company/institution, prior to the start of activities, you must provide the UB staff involved with all the health and safety requirements of the external entity (information and training on occupational risk prevention, personal protective equipment, etc.) and submit the required coordination documentation.
