Abstract:

Students from science degrees will develop works with high experimental level. Therefore, it is important for them to acquire a solid training in good laboratory practice, a responsible use of resources and a suitable management of risk at workplace. In this initiative, all these items are considered and taken the form of a sustainable management system which also offer them the opportunity to work with management system commitment with Circular Economy and the Sustainable Development principles. This sustainable management system has been designed and implemented for different laboratory practice courses at Environmental Science Degrees. The presented work has been developed in two levels. The first one is the design a versatile sustainable management system which can be applied to student laboratory practices from a general point of view and at different degrees. This system is a general document which presents the main key performance indicators linked to the different necessary resources, for instance, chemical products, energy, protection devices or waste management. The second one concerns its particular application to the selected courses mainly from Environmental Science Degree and it will be named as "Global Laboratory Management System". In this document each key performance indicator is broken down for each specifical experiment. These two documents will be developed by the teachers and only the second one will be provided to the students. Students will complete the "Global Laboratory Management System" with their own experimental data obtaining key performance indicator. value. Finally, key performance indicator is expressed as economic value which can help to students how to manage the employed resources with the aim to be more sustainable.
