Chemical Hazards: Toxicology and Reactivity

This course aims to provide process safety experience for engineers, particularly relevant to chemical engineering but applicable to any field involving process operations. This course introduces you to the important, practical, value-added skills and information that will aid your career, or preparation for a career, in chemical process engineering. These skills include improving your ability to identify and quantify toxic chemical hazards and be able to identify and mitigate scenarios where reactive chemical hazards are present. You will be able to describe the importance of pressure protection and the general process for pressure relief system design all while using lessons learned from past chemical process incidents to inform the implementation of safer solutions and work practices

• Describe importance of pressure protection in industrial systems
• Design pressure relief systems
• Improve skills in identifying toxic hazards
• Quantify chemical hazard levels
• Plan mitigation of reactive chemical scenarios

• Recommended for professionals in process operations, especially chemical engineers
