Safety engineering is an engineering discipline with an interdisciplinary and application-orientated concept. The main focus is on the knowledge-based development and application of methods that serve to analyse and avoid hazards and minimise remaining hazards for people and the environment, particularly in connection with technically complex products, systems and processes.
This includes the teaching and research areas of plant and product safety, substance and material safety, occupational safety, environmental safety, traffic safety, technical reliability, energy efficiency, consumer protection, civil protection and disaster control, fire and explosion protection as well as safety and quality law.
