Flirting With Disaster – The Importance of Safety: Crash Course Engineering #28
As an engineer, sometimes lives will be in your hands, so this week we’re exploring safety and its impact on engineering. We’ll discuss the difference between occupational safety and public safety and how to analyze and review a process for any potential dangers with things like HAZOP. We’ll learn the dangers of having too *many* alarms and look at how important it is to adopt a good mindset of safety culture.
Crash Course Engineering is produced in association with PBS Digital Studios.
