The course Safety in process industry is developed in the framework of the Erasmus + Project “Blended Learning through Innovative Tools for Sustainable and Safety Engineering and Social Inclusion” (SafeEngine), which aims at answering to society needs as well as to the requirements of environmental health and workplace safety via novel training programmes.
The course aims at providing students with basic knowledge on safety procedures and experimental techniques for evaluating risks related to storage, transport, and transformation of hazardous materials.
Students will acquire the tools needed to correctly assess a risk analysis on thermally unstable, flammable, explosive, and toxic substances or mixtures.
In order to regard the safety issues within industrial plants from a broader perspective, the course tackles the management of contaminated industrial sites, focusing on the risk assessment to set remediation goals.
Moreover, as the design and realization of most of these industrial plants undergoes the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) procedure, their operation may turn to be a relevant scenario for the preventive evaluation of the wider health implications. To this end, the course will also approach the Health Impact Assessment within EIA studies.
