-
3.00 Credits
Provides an understanding of selected chemical, physical and biological stressors in the workplace that may present occupational health hazards for workers. Focuses on anticipating, identifying, evaluating, and controlling chemical, physical and biological stressors in the workplace. Emphasizes adverse health effects from excessive exposures, workplace standards, sampling and analytical methods, and control options.
Prerequisite:
Restricted to MS Safety Sciences students only; or by instructor permission only
-
2.00 Credits
Focuses on understanding and applying safety, regulatory, toxicological, environmental, and epidemiological information, data and models to determine occupational risk from exposure to common industrial and environmental stressors. Also covers product safety risk from consumer exposure to manufactured products. Case studies act as important means for presenting and discussing information.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 104 or 155, CHEM 101
-
3.00 Credits
Focuses on the evaluation of system designs using detailed system analysis techniques. Topics covered include system definition, economics of systems safety, quantitative and qualitative systems safety methodology, and systems safety/process safety program administration. Skills gained include the ability to perform hardware and human factors systems analysis. Techniques include failure mode and effect analysis, hazard and operability studies, what-if and scenario building, and operating and support hazard analysis. Practical analysis work is accomplished through in-class discussion and demonstration sessions and homework assignments.
Prerequisite:
MATH 105 and SAFE 111 or instructor permission
-
3.00 Credits
Explores the principles that control human performance and its effect on the safety and reliability of systems. Engineering anthropometrics, human perception, biomechanics of motion and work posture, work physiology, and human performance measurement are taught in the context of their application in workplace design. Instructs in methodologies for analysis of tasks and human performance requirements. Important human limitations and ergonomic hazard evaluations, such as lifting and repetitive motion tasks, are studied in laboratory sessions.
-
2.00 Credits
Focuses on major aspects of industrial air and water pollution management. Includes sourcesand analysis of industrial air and water pollution, evaluation and control of air and waterpollutants, and atmospheric and water chemistry. Particular emphasis is placed on informationthat is practical for the safety management, industrial health, or environmental healthprofessional.
Prerequisite:
SAFE 220 or instructor permission
-
3.00 Credits
Explores biological safety and biosecurity measures employed in the laboratory environment. Assesses the viability of modern biosafety measures used in production, research, and educational laboratory settings. Evaluates the biological impacts of security tactics deployed from the local, regional, national, and international perspective.
-
3.00 Credits
Explores the biological risk assessment process to minimize risk to the worker, the community, and the environment related to work with biological hazards. Reviews the major elements necessary for an effective bio-risk management program. Familiarizes students with the regulations, standards, and guidance that impact life science operations and introduces students to the Certified Biological Safety Professional (CBSP) exam domains.
-
3.00 Credits
Designed to teach a systems-based approach to managing safety programs, hazards, and risk. Emphasis will be placed on understanding proactive approaches to conducting pre-hazard and life-cycle safety analyses of activities/operations and developing safety system documentation (e.g., policies, objectives, goals, performance measures, plans committee charters, safety procedures, work procedures, audit plans and accident investigation reports).
Prerequisite:
SAFE 212
-
4.00 Credits
Provide the students an understanding of selected physical and biological stressors in the workplace that may present occupational health hazards to workers. Students learn how to anticipate, identify, evaluate, and control physical and biological stressors in the workplace. Adverse health effects from excessive exposures, workplace standards, sampling and analytical methods, and control options are emphasized. The course concludes with discussions that focus on the effective development and implementation of a comprehensive safety and health program.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 104 or 155, PHYS 111 or instructor permission
-
1.00 Credits
Provides students a basic understanding of ethics and professionalism related to the occupational safety, health and environmental profession. Specific topics covered include the ASSE Code of Ethics, ethical dilemmas that may be experienced in the workplace, expectations regarding professional behavior on internship, and professional growth. Students also learn about safety, health, and environmental professional organizations and certification bodies.
