This document provides an overview of the syllabus for a course on industrial safety engineering. It includes: 1. A list of 7 topics to be covered in the course, including safety audits, accident causation theories, industrial hazards, and risk assessment methods. 2. Descriptions of key terms related to hazard identification and risk assessment, such as hazard, risk, risk assessment types, and the risk assessment process. 3. An explanation of the risk evaluation process, including assessing probability and severity of hazards to determine risk levels. 4. An overview of risk mitigation measures and the hierarchy of hazard controls. 5. A review of occupational health hazards including physical, chemical, biological,

Risk assessment
Process of evaluating the risk(s) arising from a hazard(s),
taking into account the adequacy of any existing controls,
and deciding whether or not the risk(s) is acceptable.

8. Risk Assessment is simply asking:
What can go
wrong ???
How bad
can it be ???
Can we
tolerate it ???
How likely ???
