Concepts and details of
• safety parameters to evaluate the hazard and risk of an explosive atmosphere (flammable gases, liquids and dust).
o examples are upper- and lower explosion limits, flashpoint, autoignition temperature, minimum ignition temperature, minimum ignition energy, electrical conductivity (organic liquids), electrical powder resistivity, maximum experimental safe gap, explosion group, limiting oxygen concentration.
• explosion protection measures.
• safety parameters to evaluate the hazard and risk of a thermal explosion (thermal runaway reaction).
o examples are adiabatic temperature rise, adiabatic time to maximum rate, maximum temperature of the synthesis reaction, thermal criticality class of a chemical reaction, pressure effects.
• safety parameters to evaluate the hazard and risk of autocatalytic decomposition reactions.
• reactor engineering and safety, emergency pressure relief, dispersion calculation (basic concepts only).
• safety parameters to evaluate the hazard and risk of collocated storage of dangerous goods.
• safety parameters to evaluate the hazard and risk of transport of dangerous goods.
• safety parameters to evaluate the hazard and risk of acute toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, reproduction-toxic and sensitizing chemicals.
• hazard and risk analysis, SIL-classification.
• fire protection and fire protection measures, e.g. fire classes and fire extinguisher agents.
• regulation on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).
• future challenges in process safety and process security like, e.g. natech events, process security, sabotage, cyber security, drone attacks.
