The Máster Universitario en Prevención de Riesgos Laborales at the Universitat Politècnica de València covers the needs of higher university training in the field of occupational risk prevention. This is intended to respond to the demands established by the Occupational Risk Prevention Law, which was a turning point in the legal and regulatory provisions on safety and health at work, and affected all companies in all productive sectors. . On the other hand, said law defined a professional area that until then was practically non-existent in Spain, in whose higher education the university had not assumed the role it deserved.
