Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) course for 1st year students

The students will learn about Fire Protection and First Aid through lectures and practical exercises using fire extinguishing equipment, and exercises in heart-lung resuscitation and the use of a defibrillator. The student will also learn about the fire/evacuation routines at NTNU.
