Integration of process safety in equipment design: A framework for academic learning activity

This study presents a methodological framework for a cycle-based academic learning activity, incorporating the four safety strategies, namely, inherent, passive, active and procedural safety in the process of equipment design. A case study applying the proposed framework, on learning of safety protocols incorporated in the design of a reactor, is presented. Majority of the students subjected to this study believe that they learnt safety strategies through this activity and their perception on achieving learning outcomes is positive.
