Introduction
The programme “Occupational Safety at Industrial and Engineering Sites Using Smart Monitoring Systems” develops professional practice in Engineering. It connects the subject with workplace challenges by examining existing evidence and practices and choosing methods appropriate to the organization and its available resources.
The learning progresses from occupational safety, risk assessment, and prevention to quality management and process control, with practical work on designing digital transformation and developing services, engineering design, modeling, and simulation, project planning and implementation control. Participants prepare outputs to support workplace application and review the quality and results of implementation.
Learning objectives
- Prepare a work risk assessment and prevention and response plan based on the hierarchy of controls in an application related to “Occupational Safety at Industrial and Engineering Sites Using Smart Monitoring Systems”.
- Assess digitization opportunities and define implementation requirements that improve a service or process.
- Build an engineering model and assess its assumptions, limitations, and verification results.
- Prepare a project plan connecting scope, time, resources, and risks.
- Apply a quality approach connecting beneficiary requirements with process control and improvement.
Learning areas
1. Occupational Safety, Risk Assessment, and Prevention
- Identify task hazards, exposed people, and site conditions, gathering information from observations, records, and equipment instructions.
- Estimate the risk level and select appropriate controls from elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment.
- Review work procedures, permits, isolation, communication, and supervision according to the task, and define responsibility for stopping unsafe work.
- Analyze an incident or near miss using facts and evidence, examining systemic causes and failed controls beyond blaming individuals.
- Prepare a tabletop emergency exercise and an inspection, awareness, and follow-up plan, assigning field execution to qualified personnel under approved procedures. The application examines a case related to “Occupational Safety at Industrial and Engineering Sites Using Smart Monitoring Systems”.
2. Designing Digital Transformation and Developing Services
- Distinguish information digitization, step automation, and business model transformation, and identify the problem targeted by the digital intervention.
- Map the beneficiary journey, touchpoints, and repeated data requests, and identify opportunities for simplification before selecting technology.
- Analyze readiness across procedures, skills, data, and technical infrastructure, and document gaps and dependencies on existing systems.
- Specify solution, integration, access permission, usability, and accessibility requirements, and establish testable acceptance criteria.
- Design a limited-scope pilot with indicators for time, quality, and use, and define conditions for continuing, adjusting, or stopping.
3. Engineering Design, Modeling, and Simulation
- Translate needs into requirements, design limits, and load or operating cases, documenting criteria and references relevant to the case.
- Prepare an engineering model showing dimensions, materials, relationships, and constraints, and review consistency between drawings, assumptions, and inputs.
- Select a simulation method suited to the problem, define boundary conditions, and examine the sensitivity of results to input quality and model settings.
- Compare outputs with a reference calculation or available test data, distinguishing calculation accuracy from the validity of the model's representation of reality.
- Prepare a design report explaining results, limitations, risks, and required modifications, specifying matters requiring specialist engineering review and approval.
4. Project Planning and Implementation Control
- Define the project rationale, expected results, stakeholders, and success criteria, and document the scope of work and exclusions.
- Break deliverables into work packages and related activities, and estimate durations, resources, and activity dependencies.
- Prepare a schedule and cost baseline, identify delivery and review milestones, and clarify approval and escalation responsibilities.
- Analyze implementation risks, define responses and warning indicators, and control change requests and their effects on time and cost.
- Build a progress report covering variances, decisions, and lessons learned, and define procedures for accepting deliverables and closing the project.
5. Quality Management and Process Control
- Define beneficiary requirements and product or service acceptance criteria, and translate them into testable process controls.
- Map process interactions, identifying risks, resources, records, and quality control responsibilities at handover points.
- Use cause and data analysis tools to understand nonconformities, and distinguish immediate correction from corrective action.
- Prepare a verification and internal review plan using objective evidence, referring to the current applicable edition of the relevant standard during implementation.
- Evaluate improvement results in terms of defects, time, rework, and beneficiary experience, and document knowledge that should be shared more widely.
Practical outputs
- A task risk assessment and an inspection, training, and response plan.
- A digital transformation roadmap covering the beneficiary journey and implementation requirements.
- Design specifications, a simulation model, and a verification and review report.
- A project charter, implementation schedule, and change and risk tracking register.
- A process map, nonconformity register, and quality improvement plan.
