1.1. Introduction

This subject introduces the student in the context of process management and specifically in the world of quality, safety and environmental management in building.
Many companies in the sector implement management systems as a method of differentiation against competition and as a tool that facilitates work related to quality, safety and the environment.
The proper management of quality, safety and the environment is a task that will undoubtedly have to be applied by the students in their future work, some of them almost exclusively in these subjects and others only in part, but certainly Willwill have responsibilities in one of the three management systems that are included within the subject.
The integrated management facilitates enormously the tasks in the Technical Architecture profession, as well as the efficiency of the work developed in the companies involved in the construction process

1.2. Recommendations to take this course

This subject does not have any normative prerequisite or require specific complementary knowledge.

1.3. Context and importance of this course in the degree

The subject Integrated Management of Quality, Safety and Environment in Building, is part of the Degree in Technical Architecture. It is included within the fourth course in its first semester and cataloged within the specific training module, with a teaching load of 6 ECTS credits

1.4. Activities and key dates

To achieve the learning outcomes, the following activities will be developed:
 Generic face-to-face activities:
 Theoretical-practical classes: The theoretical concepts of the subject will be explained and illustrative practical examples will be developed as support for the theory when it is deemed necessary.
 Practical classes: Practical cases will be done as a complement to the theoretical concepts studied.
 
Generic non-presence activities:
- Study and assimilation of the theory explained in the lectures.

2.2. Importance of learning goals

Many of the companies in the construction sector have implemented quality, safety and environmental management systems as tools that facilitate homogenous and efficient work.
Much of the future work of graduates in Technical Architecture will be to coordinate and ensure that the works carried out by the agents involved are done within the application of existing regulations. This is why, when obtaining skills in the issues outlined in the subject, the student is preparing for the future workS that he will have to plan, coordinate and certify later

3.1. Aims of the course

The subject and its expected results respond to the following approaches and objectives:
Most of the subjects studied in this degree have a very important component of design, planning and coordination of tasks essential within Technical Architecture. These tasks can be developed in multiple ways, but all of them require important planning work for successful completion.
The purpose of the management systems involves, above all, a planning task on the work to be done, with the necessary resources and the necessary time, guaranteeing their compliance and demonstrating the efficiency of the tasks carried out.
