The Office of Safety, Health and the Environment (OSSMA) was created in 1998 by agreement of the Board of Governors, with the aim of providing the University of Barcelona with a technical organizational structure to manage and promote the integration of occupational risk prevention and the environment at the UB, in accordance with regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, the Office was made up of the Occupational Health and Safety Area<\/a> and the Environmental Area<\/a> . Later, in 2009, the Social Care Area<\/a> was created to offer University staff a personalized and confidential service of advice and professional help in the face of possible personal, work and socio-family problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OSSMA, therefore, is a multidisciplinary office formed by a heterogeneous group of professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its mission is to ensure the adequate promotion, prevention and protection of the health and safety of UB employees, as well as environmentally friendly practices throughout the University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its functions are to provide advice and assistance to all members of the university community: the rector’s team, UB staff and their representatives, specialized representative bodies and students.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
