Safety Engineering Courses—Advanced Level Courses
Environmental
Advanced Air Quality Control — In-depth study of advanced air quality control science and management practices. Addresses the atmosphere as a dynamic system and examines how to integrate the effects of pollutants and toxicants upon its future long-term health and viability.
Advanced Ergonomics — Comprehensive study of ergonomics and ergonomic principles with particular attention given to ergonomic development in the workplace. Design and evaluation of ergonomic systems and specific contents of ergonomic program design and development are given special attention.
Advanced Industrial Hygiene — Examination of advanced practical theory as it applies to the classical industrial hygiene field. Review an array of investigative, scientific, engineering, organizational, and social skills that are necessary to effectively control health hazards. Prerequisite—Chemistry I and Algebra I
Advanced Pollution Prevention — In-depth study of advanced pollution prevention practices and the preparation of a pollution prevention management plan. Emphasizes methodologies that achieve environmental compliance through less expensive pollution control methods.
Advanced Solid Waste Management — Opportunity to study the growing and increasingly intricate problems of controlling and processing the refuse created by urban society. Includes discussion of issues concerning regulations and legislation with major emphasis on solid waste engineering principles.
Advanced Toxicology — Advanced understanding of toxicology in the occupational environment. Analysis of target organs, adverse health effects, and the systems/organs that are the targets of toxicants. Includes assessments of safety and risk of carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic chemicals.
Emergency Management — Addresses emergency planning and management from a facility level. Provides a basis for systematically identifying and evaluating the hazards that create the potential for disaster, along with guidelines for mitigating and minimizing the impact of those events.
Fire Protection Technology — Introduction to the design, specification, approving, testing, maintaining ,and installing of fire protection systems. Examines a wide variety of simple and complex special hazard fire alarm systems through the use of real-world applications.
Industrial and Hazardous Waste Management — In-depth study of solid and hazardous wastes generated by industrial and other activities. Includes insights on the complex social, legal, political, and ethical issues associated with waste management.
Risk Management
Safety and Accident Prevention — Analysis and discussion of theories and principles of OSHA and their practical uses in the workplace. Non-engineering based methods are used to facilitate student understanding. Prequisites - This course is designed to complement Safety Engineering, and it is recommended Safety and Accident Prevention and Safety Engineering be taken sequentially.
Safety Engineering — Study of providing practical input about design ergonomics, desired safety features, and human factors. Examines how the OSH professional works with the designer to ensure the appropriate product, facility or equipment needed for a project. Prerequisite—Algebra I and Safety and Accident Prevention
System Safety Engineering — Advance study of system safety programs with an emphasis on risk control. Addresses basic and essential information about the identification, evaluation, analysis, and control of hazards in components, systems, subsystems, processes, and facilities.
Safety and Health
Advanced Topics in Occupational Safety and Health — The goal of this course is to provide the student with knowledge in two extremely important subjects for the practitioner of occupational safety and health. The first topic deals with project management skills to survive in the 21st century, which are divided into three phases: concept and approvals, planning and analysis, and project implementation. The second topic involves effective expert witnessing for the safety and health professional, which includes how the expert should interface with the legal system, important aspects of the legal process, and how to give testimony and communicate effectively.
