Aims

General aim of the course: 
1.       Identify and judge risks with respect to your own work/the work of the people you supervise when working in the chemical industry or when designing products in which chemicals play an important role.
2.       To determine the necessary measures to exclude or to reduce risks to an acceptable level.
 
Specific aims: 
The student can identify and assess hazards of chemical and biological products, separately and in the context of a process.
The student understands the hazard vectors of chemical and biological products.
The student can retrieve information on the hazards of products, e.g., from databases, from legal entities.
The student understands and can interpret the information on hazardous products (e.g., (e)SDS) .
The student knows the classification and labeling of chemical and biological products.
The student knows the principles of REACH.
The students knows the differences between chemical and biological product safety.
The student knows different methods for risk analysis (e.g., HAZOP, QRA) and risk prevention (e.g., LOPA) and can apply these methods to a chemical (production) process
