Firefighting training, ALKOgoggles and NARKOgoggles, consultations and workshops for the University of Gdańsk community, and a health run: these are just some of the attractions that will mark the 5th Occupational Safety and Health Day at the University of Gdańsk. The event, organised by the Health and Safety Inspectorate of the University of Gdańsk in cooperation with the University of Gdańsk Development Foundation, will take place on 15 May from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Gdańsk.

‘This year, we have prepared more attractions than in previous editions,’ says Tomasz Klawikowski, Head of the Health and Safety Inspectorate at the University of Gdańsk. ‘This is a good opportunity to experience what occupational safety really is. For the first time, we have invited several experts from external institutions. The programme includes a VR show, a fire trainer, a smoke chamber, exoskeletons, massage, specialist consultations, a health run and much more. I think everyone will find something interesting for themselves. It's definitely worth a visit!’

Work Safety and Health Day is a great opportunity to take an interest in your own health. UG employees will be able to take advantage of an offer that is specially prepared for them. Four activities require prior registration. These are:
