Process Safety Engineering is a safety specialised process engineering discipline that is responsible for the developing risk assessments and designing safety operating practices, and provides technical leadership and support to identify hazards, assess risks and provide cost-efficient management solutions. The Process Safety Engineering focuses on the prevention of fire and explosion, accidental chemical release, and reactive chemistry, toxic exposure, overpressure/under pressure, equipment malfunction, excessive temperature and thermal expansion, metal fatigue, corrosion, human factors, and other similar conditions by the application of good engineering and design principles.
