Application in a Subject of a Master’s Degree in Occupational Health and Safety 2025 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted This article delineates an innovative educational approach within the Master’s in Occupational Risk Prevention at the University of Zaragoza, focusing on optimal evacuation route signage through a practical class session. The class emphasizes the significance of effective signage, pivotal for guiding occupants safely during emergencies. The curriculum integrates theoretical knowledge with hands-on applications, employing both manual and digital tools to enhance learning outcomes. Students engage in the direct application of safety standards and signage optimization, initially working manually and subsequently utilizing a custom-developed graphical tool, SignCirCAD, integrated with AutoCAD. This tool simplifies the visualization and modification of signage coverage areas, enabling efficient design adjustments without extensive AutoCAD experience. The session’s structure includes theoretical instruction, practical exercises, and the application of the graphical tool, culminating in a project where students optimize real-world signage within our university’s Agustín de Betancourt building. By bridging theory with practical skill application, the program not only reinforces understanding but also equips students with the essential competencies for effective emergency management in occupational settings. The findings suggest that the graphical tool significantly enhances signage coverage with minimal increase in sign numbers, demonstrating its effectiveness in optimizing evacuation signs in compliance with safety standards. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0001-5654-9308 Asión-Suñer, Laura Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-1625-1475 Royo-Sánchez, Cristina Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-2729-8957 García-Hernández, César Universidad de Zaragoza 5002 305 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
