Improving process safety has never been more vital. Yet, statistics suggest it
has also never been more challenging. Also, recent statistics have shown that
Major Hazard Installations (MHI) – facilities handling highly hazardous
chemicals - are moving upward in the region. However, the supply pipeline of
process safety engineers is simply not wide enough to cater to the industry’s
growing needs.
Upon the completion of this programme, the graduates should be able to:
Note:
• When candidates with Bachelor’s of Science or Technology degrees or their
equivalents (non-engineering or engineering technology) are admitted,
prerequisite modules in Engineering and Engineering Technology must be
offered to adequately prepare them for their advanced study. Degree
holders with CGPA above 2.0 but less than 2.5 may be admitted subject to a
rigorous internal assessment process.
As of May 2021
The course focuses on Process Safety Management (PSM) in the workplace. The course
cover topics learning from incidents, need to manage safety, regulations on PSM, PSM
elements, planning, and implementing. The course will also include the measure audit
and review, safety management systems in major hazards, process safety performance
measurement, and safety leadership to enhance PSM in processing industries.
The course is explaining about hazard analysis and risk assessment and its application
to the processing industries. The course covers topics on hazards, risk, risk analysis,
probability and reliability, hazard analysis and awareness, PHA tools (HAZOP, HAZID,
FMEA, etc.), bow-tie diagrams, the principle of risk management. The course will also
include the consequence analysis, risk contributors, risk values, risks, communication,
and safety culture to enhance process safety in processing industries.
The course is explaining how human factors influences human behaviour in a way that
can affect process safety performance at all levels of an organisation. The course
covers topics on human factors’ key issues, factors affecting human performance, and
systematic approaches in predicting and reducing human error. The course will also
include case studies to assess human error in the process industry and propose human
error prevention techniques to enhance process safety.
Quantitative Risk
OAM5233 3 credits
Assessment
This course provides the opportunity to learn about risk, the applications of risk
involved with industrial activities, and how to practice risk-informed decision-making
and risk management. Because engineering is a decision-making enterprise, a decision-
making way of thinking is used throughout the course.
•
This course covers the following topics: natural and man-made emergencies and
disaster; managing and planning, controlling, financial risk in major accident hazard;
fire emergency response; communication and evacuation procedure; emergency
operation and management; emergency plan and preparedness; incident investigation
and use of incident statistics
Industrial Hygiene
OAM5223 3 credits
Engineering
This course covers the following topics: building and facilities; ergonomics, material
handling, and storage; machine guarding; welding; electrical hazards, and noise.
•
This course explains the container and spill management and containers of hazardous
waste. The course also covers topics on the cleanup of spills and hazardous waste site
emergencies. The environmental control, noise, and environmental impact assessment
will also be discussed.
Students graduated from this programme will be highly
knowledgeable in the area of Process Safety where it will always
remain one of the most important areas of focus for many industries
such as oil and gas industry, petrochemical/chemical/pharmaceutical
industry, consultant, regulatory/authority bodies and R&D scientific
bodies.
Example careers relating to this programme may include; Safety
Engineer, Process Safety Engineer, Risk and Safety Manager,
Process/Technical Safety Engineer, HSE Lead Engineer, Risk Analyst,
Safety Consultant, etc.
