SENG 455/655: Process Safety Engineering
This course is concerned with all aspects of Chemical Process Safety and Loss Prevention. Process Safety differs from Personnel Safety (or Industrial Hygiene), in that it is concerned primarily with the identification of potential hazards and hazardous conditions associated with the processes and equipment involved in the Chemical Process Industries, and methods of predicting the possible severity of these hazards and presenting, controlling, or mitigating them.
SENG 321/670: Safety Management System
The course emphasizes the various safety-related issues that arise in industrial settings, including health, security and environmental factors. A broad array of topics will be addressed including performance measurement and regulatory requirements, as well as the handling of toxic/flammable/explosive materials, fire protection, personal protective equipment, emergency response, and accident investigations. Design aspects are included to reduce hazards, and resolve noise and ventilation issues. While the material emphasizes industrial settings, construction as well as office environments are covered.
