Health and safety engineers, except mining safety engineers and
inspectors, prevent harm to
people and property by applying their knowledge of systems engineering and
mechanical, chemical, and human performance principles. Using this specialized
knowledge, they identify and measure potential hazards, such as the risk of
fires or the dangers involved in handling toxic chemicals. They recommend
appropriate loss prevention measures according to their probability of harm and
potential damage. Health and safety engineers develop procedures and designs to
reduce the risk of illness, injury, or damage. Some work in manufacturing
industries to ensure that the designs of new products do not create unnecessary
hazards. They must be able to anticipate, recognize, and evaluate hazardous
conditions, as well as develop hazard control methods.
