Concepts of process hazard recognition and control

Objective: To demonstrate application of the concepts of process hazard recognition and control learned over the course of this semester
 
Task: Conduct a hazard analysis exercise for a product manufacturing step within Biopharma, Semiconductor, Food and Beverage, or Oil and Gas Industry
 
Deliverable: Power Point (or equivalent) Presentation with a Short Video Explanation
5 Slides

• Slide 1 – Overview of the process being examined. What is it and how is it done?
• Slide 2 – Process steps – What are the main process steps? What chemicals/materials/equipment are used?
• Slide 3 – Using one of the hazard identification processes we learned in class, outline the main hazards associated with this process.
• Slide 4 – For each hazard identified, what are the consequences of that hazard? For example, if a thermal hazard exists, there may be possibility for skin burns, heat exhaustion, or even fire or runaway chemical reaction.
• Slide 5 – What controls would you recommend for each of your identified hazards?

You can either record a power point with voice-over, or simply include a YouTube video of your explanation of your slides, recording yourself as if you were presenting this live.  If you need help with either of these options, let me know.  I will also post some resources to help all of you with this.
