Industrial Legislation

The study and knowledge of the subject "Industrial Legislation", given the amplitude of the same one and the absence of legal knowledge of the students, tries to reach a knowledge and handle of the existent normative and of the legal agents that facilitates the future professional work of the students. In this sense, the subject Industrial Law wants students to understand the existence of a complex legal-industrial order with different sources of normative production (international, community, state, autonomous and local) and their jurisdictional or hierarchical organization. Also the presence of a plurality of Administrations.

The specific objectives are:
- Know the administrative structure and European justice.
- Acquire knowledge of European, Spanish and regional legislation / regulations; know how to interpret them and handle them with ease; in the field of chemistry, quality, industrial safety and the environment.
- Train technicians with knowledge in prevention of chemical risks.
- Know and interpret the REACH Regulation.
- Acquire knowledge of Civil Liability.
- Know the steps to undertake an administrative procedure.

The contents of this subject according to the title memory are:

"Occupational risk prevention law (chemical risk) Administrative structure and justice in Europe (European legal documents, directives, regulations, etc.) Transposition in Spain of all European regulations in the fields of chemistry (labeling, storage, transport, etc.), environment and quality REACH Regulation Civil liability Administrative procedure. "

These contents have been divided into two blocks. The first block will be a basic block that includes an introductory topic in which the most general part of the subject is included, and another complementary part. This first block includes two topics, the first is dedicated to knowing the existence of different regulatory environments (international, European, state, regional and local) and their functioning or administrative structures, including the definition of different types of legal documents in each area, and the form of adoption of each other. The second topic includes an introduction to industrial legislation, by classifying it in a sectoral way (chemistry, quality, safety and environment) and an introduction to each of them following the structure of the topic first. Finally, and as the third subject of this block, it will be devoted to the law of administrative procedure and aspects related to civil liability.
The second block consists of four topics that include an in-depth treatment of the legislation following the classification presented in topic 2.

European system for the registration of carriers of radioactive materials. Industrial quality and standards.

Topic 7. Environmental law
Origin and sources of Environmental Law. The instruments of environmental protection. Preventive instruments Economic instruments and voluntary environmental protection. Complementary instruments Repressive instruments Sectoral protection of the environment. Application to the industry. The integrated prevention and control of pollution.

"
In this subject the student will acquire or practice a series of generic competences, desirable in any university degree, and specific, proper to the Law, adapted to technical-scientific training two students. Within the competency table that was designed for the degree, the following will be worked on more specifically:

BASIC AND GENERAL

CG3 - Value responsibility in the management of information and knowledge in the field of Industrial Chemistry and Chemical Research
CG4 - Demonstrate ability to analyze, describe, organize, plan and manage projects
CG5 - Use scientific terminology in English to argue experimental results in the context of the chemical profession
CG6 - Apply correctly the new technologies for gathering and organizing information to solve problems in the professional activity
CG8 - Value the human, economic, legal and technical dimension in the professional practice, as well as the impact of chemistry on the environment and on the sustainable development of society.
CB9 - That students know how to communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and ultimate reasons that sustain them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way
CB10 - That students have the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous.

Oral presentation (papers, reports, problems and case studies) 10.0 (Competences: CG4, CG5, CB9, CT1)
Continuous evaluation of the student through questions and oral questions during the 10.0 course (Skills: all)


The evaluation in the second opportunity will be based on the qualification of the examination and of the works (that will have to present during the course), and the assistance and participation, with the same weighting that in the first announcement.


For cases of fraudulent conduct of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of students' academic performance and the review of grades will apply.

The subject has a workload of 3.0 ECTS, corresponding to 1 ECTS credit for 25 hours of total work, which are distributed as follows:
