Prevention through Design (PtD). The importance of the concept in Engineering and Architecture university courses

Occupational Health and Safety had a greater presence and importance in the courses under the Old degrees than those created to comply with the Bologna process. Analysis of the contents included in the syllabi showed that although the integration of occupational prevention decreased in construction courses in the Bologna degrees, the number of courses dealing with OHS topics increased, but they did not necessarily include the topic of Prevention through Design. Lack of education and training in Prevention through Design was found in those courses dealing with the construction of concrete structures that were included in the study. The Bologna degrees have not been an improvement in this respect. An enormous effort is necessary to improve the understanding and implementation of the Prevention through Design concept.
