Objectives: |
To provide the student with an appreciation
of the social and economic impact of industrial accidents. To provide the student with general rules
and checklists to help design and maintain a safe work environment. To define the role of the design engineer
in industrial and product safety. To
introduce the role of governmental and voluntary standards in process and
product design safety. |

Probability and Statistics:
A common approach of appraising plant/job safety is
through the use of and
probability and severity matrices. From
analyses of the probability of Statistics: occurrence and severity, prioritized
facility fix-it lists are developed.
