Description
The aim of this module is to present students with the technical and legislative information to manage dangerous materials in the workplace. Protection of the environment in conjunction with occupational safety and health will be addressed.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Define the hazardous properties of substances and assess their implications to the workplace.
2.
Distinguish between classification, labelling and packaging systems for transport and supply.
3.
Discuss storage and containment of dangerous goods with respect to health and safety in the workplace.
4.
Assess points in industrial operations which can impact on worker health and safety and the environment.
5.
Apply the principles of safe systems of work to controlling hazards in the workplace.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module will be delivered full-time. This will include lectures and may include site visits, augmented by independent learning and directed learning. This approach is expected to address student learning needs. Moodle will be used as a repository of educational resources and as a means of assessment (e.g. quizzes, uploading assignments and journals).
Module Assessment Strategies
This module is 30% Continuous Assessment and 70% Final Exam. Students may be assessed on submission of an assignment report/essay and a short Q&A exam as well as a final theory paper. Feedback using formative assessment will be ongoing via class discussions.
Repeat Assessments
Repeat Continuous Assessment and/or Final Exam.

We all know that safety should be an integral part of the systems that we build and operate. The public demands that they are protected from accidents, yet industry and government do not always know how to reach this common goal. This book gives engineers and managers working in companies and governments around the world a pragmatic and reasonable approach to system safety and risk assessment techniques. It explains in easy-to-understand language how to design workable safety management systems and implement tested solutions immediately. The book is intended for working engineers who know that they need to build safe systems, but arent sure where to start. To make it easy to get started quickly, it includes numerous real-life engineering examples. The books many practical tips and best practices explain not only how to prevent accidents, but also how to build safety into systems at a sensible price. The book also includes numerous case studies from real disasters that describe what went wrong and the lessons learned. See Whats New in the Second Edition: New chapter on developing government safety oversight programs and regulations, including designing and setting up a new safety regulatory body, developing safety regulatory oversight functions and governance, developing safety regulations, and how to avoid common mistakes in government oversight Significantly expanded chapter on safety management systems, with many practical applications from around the world and information about designing and building robust safety management systems, auditing them, gaining internal support, and creating a safety culture New and expanded case studies and "Notes from Nicks Files" (examples of practical applications from the authors extensive experience) Increased international focus on world-leading practices from multiple industries with practical examples, common mistakes to avoid, and new thinking about how to build sustainable safety management systems New material on safety culture, developing leading safety performance indicators, safety maturity model, auditing safety management systems, and setting up a safety knowledge management system
