Process Safety Management

Description

Process Safety Management is a core course for chemical engineering undergraduates focused on preventing accidents and minimizing their consequences in chemical processes. Students will learn to identify, assess, and control hazards through techniques like Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) studies, Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA), and risk assessment. The course emphasizes the importance of safety culture, emergency response planning, and regulatory compliance. By understanding process safety principles, students will develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary to design, operate, and manage chemical processes safely and responsibly
