Security technology (subject)
The study safety technology addresses the risks of modern industrial society , where human or environmental exposure. It focuses on all dangers associated with the use of technology , the operation of industrial plants or with dangerous goods . The safety technology ensures that no damage occurs if possible.
Subject
Technical products are often associated with hazards , so that property damage or personal injury can occur. The immediate safety technology rises to make the technical products as the claim that they are not dangerous.
If this is not possible, indirect safety technology and protective devices reduce the risk to a generally accepted level. If direct and indirect precautions only incompletely lead to protection, the indicating safety technology warns of the impending dangers with signals and notices.
job profile
Graduates of the subject are versatile in all industries. The safety engineer is responsible for occupational safety , fire protection , environmental safety and radiation protection . He can also be active as a consultant, appraiser, development and laboratory engineer and in supervisory and testing activities. Further positions can be found at the employers' liability insurance association, state supervisory authorities , insurers and fire departments.
Due to their university or technical college education, the safety engineers meet all the requirements of the German Statutory Accident Insurance (DGUV) after one year of practical work and acquire the technical safety knowledge (SiFa) to work as a specialist for occupational safety (FASi). The job profile also includes training for technicians and foremen with technical safety knowledge, the tasks of which are defined by the Occupational Safety Act .
Apprenticeships
The study of safety engineering has been possible since 1975 at the University of Wuppertal in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Safety Engineering . The Bachelor of Science in Security Technology is a professional qualification after six semesters. A Master 's of four additional semesters possible with a focus on safety engineering, occupational safety , environmental safety , civil protection and fire protection or even a master's degree in quality engineering .
In addition, a doctorate can be obtained, depending on the focus of the dissertation Dr.-Ing. as a doctoral engineer , Dr. rer. sec. as doctor rerum securitatis or Dr. phil. as doctor philosophiae. Until 2002 there was a graduate engineer course with a focus on occupational safety, environmental protection, traffic safety and fire and explosion protection.
Since 1999, the Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University DHBW in Karlsruhe has been offering occupational safety as part of the safety degree course; the Bachelor of Science is divided into environmental technology and radiation protection . The course consists of six semesters with theoretical and practical phases, students receive a training allowance from the dual partner.
Since the 2007/2008 winter semester, the Security & Safety Engineering course with a Bachelor of Science degree has been offered at Furtwangen University , Faculty “Health, Safety, Society” (GSG). The course comprises seven semesters, the fifth is a practical semester.
The Ruhr West University of Applied Sciences in Mülheim an der Ruhr has been offering a degree in safety engineering since 2014 . There is currently the option of completing the Bachelor of Science Security Technology degree after 7 semesters including a practical semester.
The safety engineering at Trier University of Applied Sciences in the mechanical engineering department comprises six semesters and, unlike the University of Wuppertal, ends with the academic degree "Bachelor of Engineering".
