Safety and Occupational Health Engineering Syllabus

The syllabus below is representative rather than a promise that every institution uses the same semester order. Students must compare it with the current official curriculum of the exact programme.

Indicative subject coverage

| Subject | What students learn |

|---|---|

| Engineering Mathematics | Supports quantitative risk, statistics, ventilation and reliability work. |

| Occupational Hygiene | Covers exposure anticipation, recognition, measurement and control. |

| Toxicology | Explains dose-response relationships and health effects of workplace agents. |

| Ergonomics | Studies physical and cognitive fit between people, tasks and equipment. |

| Industrial Ventilation | Develops capture, duct, fan, filtration and verification fundamentals. |

| Machine Safety | Covers guards, interlocks, energy isolation and safe maintenance. |

| Electrical Safety | Addresses shock, arc, earthing, isolation and electrical work controls. |

| Process Safety | Studies containment, hazard reviews, safeguards and major-incident prevention. |

| Safety Management Systems | Connects policy, competence, operational control, audit and improvement. |

| Incident Investigation | Develops evidence collection, causal analysis and corrective-action design. |

| Emergency Management | Covers credible scenarios, plans, communication, drills and recovery. |

| Occupational Health Law | Introduces duties, records, worker protection and compliance processes. |

Engineering Mathematics

Supports quantitative risk, statistics, ventilation and reliability work. Practical learning may include calculations, case reviews, demonstrations, measurements, drawings or team assignments. Students should connect the subject with real controls and verification rather than memorising definitions.

Occupational Hygiene

Covers exposure anticipation, recognition, measurement and control. Practical learning may include calculations, case reviews, demonstrations, measurements, drawings or team assignments. Students should connect the subject with real controls and verification rather than memorising definitions.

Toxicology

Explains dose-response relationships and health effects of workplace agents. Practical learning may include calculations, case reviews, demonstrations, measurements, drawings or team assignments. Students should connect the subject with real controls and verification rather than memorising definitions.

Ergonomics

Studies physical and cognitive fit between people, tasks and equipment. Practical learning may include calculations, case reviews, demonstrations, measurements, drawings or team assignments. Students should connect the subject with real controls and verification rather than memorising definitions.

Industrial Ventilation

Develops capture, duct, fan, filtration and verification fundamentals. Practical learning may include calculations, case reviews, demonstrations, measurements, drawings or team assignments. Students should connect the subject with real controls and verification rather than memorising definitions.

Safety Management Systems

Connects policy, competence, operational control, audit and improvement. Practical learning may include calculations, case reviews, demonstrations, measurements, drawings or team assignments. Students should connect the subject with real controls and verification rather than memorising definitions.

Incident Investigation

Develops evidence collection, causal analysis and corrective-action design. Practical learning may include calculations, case reviews, demonstrations, measurements, drawings or team assignments. Students should connect the subject with real controls and verification rather than memorising definitions.

Emergency Management

Covers credible scenarios, plans, communication, drills and recovery. Practical learning may include calculations, case reviews, demonstrations, measurements, drawings or team assignments. Students should connect the subject with real controls and verification rather than memorising definitions.

Occupational Health Law

Introduces duties, records, worker protection and compliance processes. Practical learning may include calculations, case reviews, demonstrations, measurements, drawings or team assignments. Students should connect the subject with real controls and verification rather than memorising definitions.

Laboratories and practical work

Useful facilities may include fire-behaviour demonstrations, pumps and hydrants, alarms, protective equipment, industrial-hygiene instruments, ventilation rigs, noise meters, gas detectors and emergency simulations. Availability differs by institution.

Internship

An internship should expose students to permits, inspections, monitoring, maintenance, contractor control, drills and incident learning. Students must follow site confidentiality and safety rules.

Final-year project

A good project defines a real problem, uses defensible data, compares controls and states limitations. Suitable work may cover detection, evacuation, ventilation, exposure reduction, machine guarding, emergency planning or safety performance.
