Degintu

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

DeGINTU is the German Hazardous Substances Information System for scientific and technical teaching of the German Social Accident Insurance ( DGUV ). It is used for safety in teaching at public schools, universities and other training institutions and was designed for the scope of the directive for safety in teaching ( RiSU ). DeGINTU is provided free of charge and consists of three modules:

  • Hazardous substance database: Registered teachers can research the potential hazards of the substances used here.
    • : Chemicals management (Head of example. Here Head of Department can Chemical Collection ) enter their chemical cabinet accurately and perform the prescribed register. It is also possible to print labels from the roll or on A4 sheets.
  • Test database with interactive risk assessment: Here, registered teachers can enter an experiment that they want to carry out with pupils. Protective measures (e.g. protective goggles, gloves, ventilation measures, fume cupboard, closed system) and restrictions on certain age groups, etc. can be automatically determined with a click of the mouse.

Besides DeGINTU there are also other programs and databases that meet similar requirements. Since the RiSU came into force in 2013, a KMK recommendation that is renewed approximately every three years and has been elevated to the status of a school regulation in all federal states by law , ordinance or decree , every teacher must have carried out a written risk assessment before carrying out an experiment which is adapted to the level of knowledge of the student group and the properties of the respective experiment room (PVC floor or carpet, tiled tables or wooden tables, etc.). Since DeGINTU is an online database, changes to classifications are automatically entered.
