Synopsis

This subject covers the practical applications of physical, biological, behavioural and engineering sciences to safety and health control practices in the workplace. The approach is to analyse hazards and tasks and to identify and understand the nature of risks so that sequences of events can be interrupted, and components within these sequences kept separate, isolated and constrained.
