The Industrial and Process Safety Engineering specialization builds a strong foundation in occupational health, industrial safety, industrial hygiene, incident management, and process safety practices essential for modern industries. Designed for engineers, safety professionals, and aspiring EHS specialists, it equips learners to identify hazards, assess risks, prevent incidents, and create safe workplaces across manufacturing, construction, and process industries.
The program begins with Industrial Safety Engineering, covering HSE systems, hazard identification, risk assessment, and accident prevention. Learners gain hands-on exposure to JSA, HIRA, PTW, LOTO, emergency preparedness, audits, and inspections.
The second course, Industrial Hygiene and Incident Management, focuses on occupational health hazards, ergonomics, and investigation techniques, using tools like 5 Whys, Fishbone Analysis, FMEA, and Fault Tree Analysis.
The final course, Chemical Process Safety, introduces PSM, process hazard analysis, SIL, and advanced methods like HAZOP and LOPA for risk mitigation.
Learning Objectives:
Apply industrial safety principles and risk assessment methods Implement occupational health, ergonomics, and incident management practices Analyze hazards using standard process safety techniques Develop safety systems and emergency response plans Promote compliance, risk reduction, and a proactive safety culture

Chemical Process Safety is a comprehensive course designed to provide learners with a strong foundation in identifying, assessing, and managing hazards within process industries. The course focuses on the principles of Process Safety Management (PSM), risk-based safety approaches, safety performance monitoring, and lessons learned from major industrial accidents. Learners will gain practical knowledge of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), Safety Integrity Levels (SIL), and Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF), which play a critical role in preventing catastrophic process failures. The course also explores Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) methodologies and industry-standard risk assessment techniques, including HAZOP, FMEA, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Event Tree Analysis (ETA), and Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA). Through practical examples and case studies, learners will develop the skills required to identify process hazards, evaluate risks, implement effective safeguards, and contribute to safer, more reliable, and compliant industrial operations. Learning Objectives By the end of this course, learners will be able to: Explain the principles, elements, and implementation requirements of Process Safety Management (PSM) and risk-based process safety. Analyze process risks using qualitative and quantitative hazard assessment methodologies. Apply hazard analysis techniques such as HAZOP, FMEA, FTA, ETA, and LOPA to identify and mitigate process hazards. Interpret the concepts of SIS, SIL, and SIF and their role in process safety and risk reduction. Develop effective risk management strategies to improve operational safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance. Target Learners This course is ideal for: Chemical, Mechanical, and Process Engineering students Process, Production, and Operations Engineers Safety Engineers and HSE Professionals Plant Managers and Supervisors Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, and Process Industry Professionals Anyone interested in process safety and risk management

Industrial Hygiene and Incident Management is a comprehensive course designed to help learners create safer, healthier, and more productive workplaces. The course provides practical knowledge of occupational hygiene, workplace ergonomics, safety in design, and incident investigation methodologies used across industrial sectors. Learners will understand how environmental factors such as noise, vibration, illumination, ventilation, heat stress, cold stress, radiation, workplace violence, and substance abuse can impact worker health and safety. The course also explores ergonomic principles, manual material handling, workstation design, musculoskeletal disorders, ergonomic assessment tools, and risk control measures. In addition, learners will gain insights into Safety in Design concepts, including safe plant layouts, equipment design and electrical safety. The course concludes with incident investigation and root cause analysis techniques such as 5 Why Analysis, Fishbone Analysis, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), enabling learners to identify causes of incidents and implement preventive actions. Through practical examples and industry applications, this course equips learners with essential skills to improve workplace health, safety, and operational performance. Learning Objectives By the end of this course, learners will be able to: Identify and evaluate occupational hygiene hazards and their impact on worker health and safety. Apply ergonomic principles to reduce workplace injuries and improve productivity. Integrate safety considerations into the design of workplaces, equipment, and industrial systems. Conduct incident investigations and apply root cause analysis techniques to prevent recurrence. Implement practical control measures to create safer and healthier work environments. Target Learners This course is ideal for: Engineering students and graduates Safety professionals and supervisors Industrial, manufacturing, and construction professionals Maintenance and project engineers Occupational health practitioners Anyone interested in industrial hygiene, ergonomics, and incident management
