Description
Course Description:
Engineers play a critical role in creating safe conditions during construction, system operations, maintenance, and public use. Considering safety in the design process can prevent injuries for years to come and potentially save lives!
This course covers engineering principles and techniques that result in designs that prioritize safety. The techniques apply to most engineering disciplines and applications. Examples are given to show how to apply the principles to real world projects.
The following topics are covered:
- Prevention through Design
- Inherent Safety
- Error Tolerance
- Safety Factors
- Fail Safe
- Defence in Depth
- HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study)
- LOPA (Layers of Protection Analysis)
