• Specifically, the student should observe how occupational safety is structured at the workplace and how it complies with legislation, as well as how the management functions and is organized.
• The internship is reported by submitting an internship certificate, an internship diary, and by being prepared to share their internship experiences during an internship seminar in the following academic year. All three documents must be submitted in the Moodle course no later than one month after the last day of the internship.
• For students with extensive work experience, Internship 1 can be validated if the internship supervisor assesses that there are conditions and compelling reasons for the concerned student to validate instead of completing the internship.
The validation is carried out in accordance with the guidelines on the intranet (eAHOT).

In summary, the practice includes the following:
