Engineering is the creative application of science, mathematical methods, and empirical evidence to the innovation, design, construction, operation and maintenance of structures, machines, materials, devices, systems, processes, and organizations. and as known engineering science includes a lot of branches such as civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering etc. engineering science has developed by time, that makes new Brach of engineering coming to life “Safety Engineering”,
Safety engineering is an engineering discipline which assures that engineered systems provide acceptable levels of safety. Safety engineering assures that a life-critical system behaves as needed, even when components fail. this branch of engineering is related to all others engineering branches, it concerns all side effects and dangerous consequences to human being.
unlike other branches, it is not obligatory to be an engineer to study and learn this engineering branch, safety engineering is considered as a general science which uses logic to deliver the knowledge, for example: when it defines hazard and risk like ( electricity ) , and what kind of accidents that may occur ,then tell you how to do a risk assessment ? how to prepare for disaster ?

1- Join Giant Industries, Huge Companies
oil and gas companies seek qualified people to work, and safety comes in the first place, so whether you are gonna be Safety Engineer or any other job, they will keen to make sure you are aware of safety engineering, this is because they do critical and risky tasks , so Safety engineering can qualify you to join them, only basic learning about Safety engineering can be your first step.
2- Discover more technical activities in workplace
Safety Engineering field is observational activity, kind of auditing task in the first place, if you are safety engineer, you will have the full access to observe all activities and tasks to know about hazards and risks. for example: you will learn some technical details of production, about mechanical maintenance, electrical maintenance, tarnsportation and shipping activities, this is in order to identify hazards and risks, fully control all risks and hazards so you will add alot to your experience and enlarge your knowledge
3- Improve your work Team performance
when you are aware of Health and safety, you will find that health and safety management is very usefull in your work, it can directly affect your job performance studying the rule of health and safety in workplace, you will know that safety of your team ( engineers, technicians,.etc) is very important because that will prevent accidents, injuries to them so your work will not delay or stop for any reason and the preformance will remain good and gets better
and as senior or manager of supervisor you will achieve higher level of success
4- Prevent properties damage and Financial losses
the main objective of safety engineerig is prevent accident, property damage & financial loss, if you own bussiness, or hired by organization you need to know that accident cost alot < Read more about accident costs: health and safety, is it a waste cost?! >, accident may cost a lot of money such as: property damage, medical insurance, fines, wages. safety engineering will inform How to Manage Workplace Safety without accidents, how to prevent accident to avoid damage, and financial loss and work delay, on the contrary health and safety management will increase performance, productivity then increasing profits.
