Safety is not the prerogative of the safety specialist but also one of the parts in every management discipline. An office manager is no less responsible for the safety of his team than the construction manager. The law and company policy apply equally to both. The course will not turn delegates into safety experts but it will give them the appreciation of what safety issues are about and the methods available to them to ensure that safety is implemented in their workplaces. It is, after all, a manager’s responsibility to have a workplace free of danger and a workforce free of ill health and accidents. Managers will be able to review their departmental systems for safety, introducing new controls or implementing changes as appropriate to ensure safety in the workplace.
The course introduces key issues related to promoting sustainable desalination operations in today’s desalination industry. The course analyzes developments in the desalination industry using the three elements of sustainability: cost, society, and the environment. This course aims to help the students approach the desalination industry with sustainability in mind. As the desalination industry booms and new desalination-related systems, designs, processes, and products are introduced every year, these new developments could best be judged by their sustainability. In this context, the course covers topics such as environmental impacts of desalination processes, understanding water production via desalination within the water-energy-cost nexus, designing safe and sustainable intake and outfall systems for desalination plants, assessing the economic feasibility of new desalination processes, evaluation of renewable?energy?powered desalination processes, evaluation and applications of novel desalination systems, such as membrane distillation and forward osmosis, recent technological improvements for enhanced desalination processes, and fouling issues in RO membranes. To better convey the course concepts, case studies will be presented.

Human errors refer to the environmental, organizational, and job factors, and human and individual characteristics which influence the behavior at work in a way which can affect an organization’s health and safety performance.

People gather in many places, including conferences and exhibitions, festivals, shopping areas, concerts, sporting events, transportation hubs, and many more. When people gather in groups, it instantly raises the risks of injuries, crime, anti-social behavior, terrorism, and other incidents which could occur through panic, distress, or concern.
