    Safety engineering is a field of engineering that deals with accident prevention and reducing the risk of human error. It aims to control risk by reducing or eliminating it, and to make safety an integral part of product designs, manufacturing facilities, and work sites. Safety engineers study potential accident risks and design safety measures, such as guards or procedures, to protect people from hazards. The goal of safety engineering is to identify safety risks and mitigate them through design changes or added safety features to prevent dangerous failures or reduce the severity of accidents.

    Definition of Safety Engineering

    Definition - What does Safety Engineering mean?


    Safety engineering is a field of engineering that deals with accident prevention,
    risk of human error reduction and safety provided by the engineered systems
    and designs.
    It is associated with industrial engineering and system engineering and applied
    to manufacturing, public works and product designs to make safety an integral
    part of operations.
    The purpose of safety engineering is to control risk by reducing or completely
    eliminating it. It also aims to reduce the rate of failures and if failure does occur,
    it is not life threatening. Safety engineering usually begins during the design of a
    system or product development.
    Safety engineers study possible accidents under various conditions and bring
    forward the accident risks. They then design safety guards or procedures the
    operators must follow to remain safe. Sometimes, they take the help of computer
    models, prototypes or replicate the situations to assess the hazards and risks.
    Before implementing a system or produce a product, safety engineers consider
    all possibilities, including, engineering, technical safety, material reliability,
    legislations and human factors to make sure that there is no known hazard.
    Safety engineering is the process of designing safer products and structures.
    Safety engineering also can involve improving the safety of work sites,
    manufacturing facilities and products as safety standards change.
    The principles of safety engineering are to identify potential safety risks and
    mitigate them. Mitigation includes reducing the odds of accidents occurring or
    reducing the severity of an accident once it occurs. This process is accomplished
    by changing the product design to prevent dangerous failures from occurring.
    Safety measures also are added to protect people if a hazard does occur.
    Fire safety engineering or fire protection engineering minimizes the risk of
    buildings catching fire or collapsing during a fire. Fire safety engineering for
    buildings includes installation of fire-fighting systems, providing ample means of
    escape, and fire detection and warning methods.

    An engineering discipline concerned with the planning development,


    improvement, coordination, and evaluation of the safety component of
    integrated systems of individuals, materials, equipment, and environments to
    achieve optimum safety effectiveness in terms of both protection of people and
    protection of property.
