    ISU’s Occupational Safety Management Master Program includes fundamental principles, concepts, and techniques of Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals and Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response with application to a variety of industries. This topic is not well covered and represented in the program so far but highly demanded by industries to assure compliance with US Federal regulations.

    This course was taught in Spring 2016 as SFTY 590 (Special Topic) with good enrollment and students’ participation.

  • Student Learning

    By the end of this course, the students will learn about:

    • Requirements for preventing or minimizing the consequences of catastrophic releases of hazardous chemicals which may result in toxic, fire or explosion hazards.
    • Process safety information in Process Safety Management (PSM) pertaining to the hazards of the highly hazardous chemicals, process technology and equipment in the process, toxicity, permissible exposure limits; physical, reactivity, corrosivity, thermal and chemical stability data, and Material Safety Data Sheets.
    • Process hazard analysis (hazard evaluation) on processes (what-if/checklist; Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP); Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA); Fault Tree Analysis.
    • Operating procedures and practices in PSM, initial startup; emergency operations and operating limits; safety and health considerations.
    • Employee participation on the conduct and development of process hazards analyses and other elements of PSM .
    • Requirements for contractors performing maintenance or repair, turnaround, major renovation, or specialty work on or adjacent to a covered process and pre-startup safety in PSM.
    • Managing of Mechanical integrity of pressure vessels, storage tanks, piping relief, vent systems and devices.
