4.00 Credits
This course focuses on an overview of risk management systems, risk management systems, risk management and risk reduction strategies, implementation of risk management and risk reduction strategies, and discussion of the principles of risk perception and risk communication. Leading-edge topics such as product stewardship, sustainability, and life cycle analysis are covered in detail including interesting case studies embodying real-life decisions in a corporate environment. Additional discussions on risk analysis, technological risk, cost benefi t analysis and decision-making under uncertainty are brought to bear on these techniques where appropriate. Class 4, Credit 4
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces fundamental concepts in protection of industrial workers and property from fi re and explosion. Fire chemistry, control of ignition sources in industry, and properties of combustible materials are discussed. Fire detection and extinguishment are covered along with building construction for fi re prevention, life safety, fi re codes and related topics. (Engineering technology and safety technology students only or permission of department; 0630-454) Class 4, Credit 4
-
4.00 Credits
The course is designed to cover construction health and safety hazards and study OSHA regulations in depth. Students get to handle and investigate construction safety issues. The topics covered will allow the students to receive an OSHA 30 hour construction outreach training card. The OSHA standards addressing trench excavation, scaffolding, temporary electric circuits, fall protection, HAZCOM, and underground construction are studied. Class 4, Credit 4
-
4.00 Credits
The course focuses on industrial hygiene applications and hands on participation. Particular attention will be given to sampling strategies from similar exposure grouping, actual sampling experiences with a wide range of industrial hygiene instruments, and sampling analysis using statistical protocols. Field experience with instrumentation, as well as professional written and oral communication of results is emphasized. There are several out of classroom learning experiences required (team based). This course also explores environmental health engineering applications including ventilation systems, process safety, and inspection/audit protocol skill building for many different types of processes, including: laboratories, machining centers, painting and solvent usage. This course culminates in a one week block of emerging issues in occupational health-the content of which is expected to change. Class 4, Credit 4
-
4.00 Credits
Discussion of machinery safety with emphasis on hazard analysis, risk estimation, safeguarding techniques and electrical considerations. Particular attention will be paid to applicable OSHA regulations, ANSI, NFPA and EN standards as they relate to wood, metal, fi lms and automation. A portion of the course will change regularly to refl ect emerging issues in industry. (Engineering technology and safety technology students only or permission of the department; 0630-454) Class 4, Credit 4
-
4.00 Credits
Focuses on the evaluation of systems designs using detailed system analysis techniques. Topics covered include system defi nition, economics of system safety, systems safety methodology, ergonomic approaches, mathematics of system analysis, including statistical methods, Boolean algebra and reliability, preliminary hazard analysis, application of fault tree analysis, and incident investigation. Class 4, Credit 4
-
4.00 Credits
This course presents an in-depth examination of the concepts, methods and techniques involved in safety and health program management. The strengths and weaknesses of existing safety programs, performance management techniques, behavior-based safety, design safety, legal aspects of safety and health management and emerging trends in safety and health management are covered. This course expands on concepts presented in introductory topics. Case studies are utilized in order to foster application of management techniques and involve the resolution in an ethical manner. (Fourth or fi fth year status in Safety Technology) Class 4, Credit 4
-
4.00 Credits
This is the fi rst course in the Emergency and Management Disaster Certifi cate. Students gain a theoretical understanding of the causes of extreme geological and meteorological events such as earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, fl oods, hurricanes, and tornados. Students also research the likely effects these disasters have on populations, infrastructure, and the environment. Signifi cant emphasis is placed on emergency response and the role of the emergency manager in each type of extreme event. Class 4, Credit 4
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces the fundamental aspects of chemistry using manmade hazards as the vehicle. The course covers the chemistry of hazardous materials, including toxics, caustics, fl ammables, and their effects on humans. Additionally, the physics of radiation, the design of commercial power reactors, and reactor disaster scenarios is covered in the course. The course uses current events in man-made hazards to facilitate the learning of the chemistry principles behind the events. (Minimally high school chemistry. Recommend college level chemistry) Class 4, Credit 4
-
4.00 Credits
Principle statutes, regulations, and court cases governing emergency preparedness (0634-311 or 321) Class 4, Credit 4
