SAChE® Certificate Program - Hazard Recognition Developed by: SAChE – Safety and Chemical Engineering Education Course ID: ELA951 Type: eLearning (online) CourseLanguage: English Skill Level: Basic Duration: 2 hours CEUs: 0.20 PDHs: 2.00 Share This Post: Knowing what to do in chemical engineering starts with recognizing hazards. This introductory course will expand students’ knowledge of hazards found in chemical plants and other similar industrial operations where chemical engineers are employed. Students will learn how to recognize common types of hazards they might encounter, as well as to understand what these hazards mean in the overall system. Students will also learn to recognize conditions that may increase the severity of these hazards. Newly updated and redesigned as part of AIChE’s Undergraduate Process Safety Learning Initiative (UPSLI), this SAChE Certificate module features state-of-the-art interactive eLearning technology to make process safety education more engaging than ever before.
