You are the teachers, leaders and
workers of the future

You will have to decide how to do the work safely
Very rarely will you meet all three criteria
Meet any two of these criteria

The musings of an engineer: I know a lot of stuff I think we know
everything I don’t recognize
what I don’t know Therefore what I
know is my realitySo?
Lets expand that reality

Take the safety knowledge you gain from this seminar,
build on it, and apply it
in your studies, and
especially when you are in the workplace

New hazards Increased accidents New unproven concepts, design &
materials Health impacts
(U.S Department of Labor, 2008)

Society accepts the benefits but not all the risks Society placed demands on engineers to reduce risks Engineers require training in workplace safety, due
diligence and product liability to protect them
This presentation focuses on safety in the workplace

Hospital patients require special mention because they may have electronic equipment attached inside and outside their bodies.
Small currents may leak from the instruments to other instruments with a potential to cause injury and death
Why is this such an “At risk group”? How can the risk be reduced?
![Page 19: Safety for Engineers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681332f550346895d9a2dd0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Electricity is one of the leading causes of fire
Arcing in the presence of flammable or combustible aerosol Grain elevators Fiery mines Chemical factories Petrochemical plants Gas stations service stations

Reduce the hazard by substitution Safety device / warning device Warning labels & procedures
