| Syllabus: | This unit introduces students to the practice of process safety and risk management as it is performed in the process engineering sector. Fundamental risk and process safety concepts are discussed, and many historical accident scenarios are reviewed to help students gain an appreciation for the complexities involved in managing risks in the process industries. Students assess measures of risk, as well as social issues of risk perception. Risk management across the life cycle of a process system is explored, in conjunction with inherently safer design principles. Key methods around hazard identification, consequence modelling and likelihood estimation, as precursors for estimating risk, are thoroughly examined as a central part of process safety and risk management practice. Broader issues around process safety management systems, human factors, complex systems, resilience engineering and regulatory matters are also considered. This unit uses a problem-based learning framework and develops systems thinking skills. |
