Aims and Scope
The student will acquire knowledge to evaluate any
workplace, to assess risks and propose measures to increase safety and prevent occupational
risks. The student will become familiar with technical regulations relating to occupational
safety and health issues (to meet the requirements placed on the Safety
Engineer) and to more general issues within their areas of interest of energy
engineers.
Course Description
Hazardous working conditions, an
accident. Laws relating to safety at work. The microclimate within the
workplace. Thermal stress. Ventilation requirements. Lighting in the workplace,
quantitative and qualitative parameters. Limiting exposure to noise.
Estimation of equivalent sound-exposure. Protection from chemical substances.
Personal protective equipment requirements. Safety of machinery, guides, interlocking
machinery, ergonomics. Fire protection, passive fire
protection, active fire protection – fire fighting. Safety at electrical installations. Fault tree analysis of causes for
accident investigation. Administrative measures to reduce
risks at work. Prevention and protection against risks. The role of a Safety
Engineer, and the relevant legislation. Legislation
within the broad areas of interest of energy engineering (legislative framework
for renewable energies, energy market liberalization, etc.).
Expected Course Outcome
Upon successful completion of this
course the student will be able to:
- Undertake risk assessment studies.
- Suggest measures to increase safety at work and protect
health.
- To
provide services as Safety Engineers.
