Students are introduced to the process of hazard identification and control, and how it is applied to various physical, chemical, and biological hazards in both an occupational and public setting. Risk assessment and management of health and safety hazards are studied from an engineering perspective. The legal and professional responsibilities of an engineer in the workplace, and as related to engineering design, are examined in the context of health and safety. The importance of equity, diversity, and inclusion in the context of workplace health and safety and in engineering practice is discussed. Prerequisite: ENGR 1100 or Instructor's Permission
