Hazardous Waste Management

This course provides understanding of the quantitative and qualitative analysis methods of safety engineeringof hazardous wastes. The course also provides guidance in planning, implementing and managing an overall safety engineering program. It includes coverage of such applicable science and engineering principles as risk, human reliability, fault logic, failure modes, incident cost and prediction.

The course is presented in an applied format where several different types of industries are discussed such as Oil, gas, Chemical, Petrochemical, Power and manufacturing industries.

The course will deal with managerial options for avoiding the creation of hazardous wastes and for dealing with hazardous wastes as they are created or as they are found in contaminated sites.
