Summary
The course familiarises students with the basics of the prevention of major
accidents of chosen technological processes. Safety aspects of operation of
various installations, causes of accidents, important factors of safety will
be
discussed. Furthermore, preventive measures reducing risks will be presented.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of this course is to acquaint students with the basic technological processes in engineering and other technologies to bring them to production, manufacturing machinery and procedures. Highlight the dangers and security risks with those
technological processes and procedures related. Outline a possible preventive measures to reduce the risk of accidents selected technological processes.
