These include air quality, water, soil and noise, effective harmful waste management and solid waste as well as various aspects of occupational health and safety of others.
SHE research field covers a wide range of human activities such as industrial manufacturing, processing and related industries. It includes the assessment of hazards, risk calculation, and the effectiveness and the ethical aspects of the response to crises and disasters.
This field also includes designs for the safe handling of industrial chemicals, disaster management, emergency plan and response to natural and man-made disasters, industrial safety, health and environmental management, hazard analysis, process safety and loss prevention and occupational health safety.
Thus, SHE should be emphasized in order to maintain the environment, processes and work practices are healthy, safe and prevent health problems that may occur as a result of the work or its environment. Furthermore, it also aims to improve the quality of the environment and bring awareness to ensure the health, welfare, safety and comfort of living in the present and future.
