The students of BS Polymer Engineering (2nd Semester) successfully conducted a Field-Based Safety Audit as part of their course Occupational Health and Safety under the supervision of Ms. Ayesha Afzal.
This structured, group-based activity was designed to simulate complex engineering practice, where students engaged in identifying hazards, performing risk assessments, and proposing appropriate control measures in real-world environments. As part of the activity, student groups were assigned to visit diverse field locations including hospital, restaurant, shopping mall, construction site, and grocery store, enabling them to evaluate safety practices across different sectors.
The activity explicitly incorporated to evaluate:
โข Engineering Knowledge: Students applied fundamental and specialized knowledge of safety principles to recognize and analyze workplace hazards across varied environments.
โข Problem Analysis: They critically evaluated different risk scenarios by assessing severity and likelihood, leading to systematic risk classification and informed decision-making.
โข Environment and Sustainability: The audit emphasized safe practices considering environmental impact and sustainable safety compliance in both community and industrial contexts.
Moreover, the activity strongly reflected the students' commitment to safety culture, ethical responsibility, and professional conduct. This indicates that students are not only understanding safety concepts but are also embedding these values into their professional mindset.
Overall, this experiential learning initiative enhanced technical competence, teamwork, and critical thinking, while promoting a lifelong learning approach essential for future engineers.
