The Process Safety Engineering (PSE) Study Program is designed to make a significant contribution to meeting the needs of modern industries that are increasingly complex and high-risk. In its initial phase, the PSE program is hosted by the Department of Mechanical Engineering at ITS, with support from the Department of Chemical Engineering, the Department of Engineering Physics, the Department of Systems and Industrial Engineering, and the Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering. Each of these collaborating departments has achieved Excellent accreditation.

Process safety is one of the branches of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) from an engineering perspective, where efforts to improve safety in industry focus on anticipating accidents with high-consequence or catastrophic characteristics. In the context of process safety, the term “process” does not refer solely to chemical reactions, but also encompasses various types of processes within an industrial system, such as machining processes, production processes, manufacturing processes, and others. In the literature and industrial practice, process safety is oriented toward ensuring that substances, objects, and materials undergoing various processes along the production pathway remain within safety boundaries. Achieving this requires multiple engineering aspects, including process fundamentals, process equipment fundamentals, material and construction facility fundamentals, human and environmental fundamentals, as well as instrumentation fundamentals.

One of the important roles of the PSE study program is to provide an understanding of how to implement dynamically evolving industrial safety regulations. Students in this program will learn to comply with national and international safety standards. In addition, the program plays a role in improving industrial process efficiency. Students are trained to optimize company operations while taking safety aspects into consideration. Graduates of this program are not only capable of creating efficient processes, but also of supporting safety and environmental sustainability.

The contribution of the PSE study program also includes the prevention of workplace accidents and incidents. Graduates of this program will have in-depth knowledge enabling them to design, operate, maintain, modify, and investigate systems to meet process safety requirements. Thus, graduates can make positive contributions to creating safer work environments and preventing financial losses as well as negative impacts on corporate reputation. This program also responds to the demands of industrial globalization by equipping students with an understanding of different safety requirements across various industrial sectors, making graduates highly valuable human resources for companies operating at both national and international levels.
