Department of Chemical & Process Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Peradeniya offers four-year BSc Eng programme catering to local and global industry needs complying with ISEL- Washington Accord. Thus, Safety and health is an integral part of chemical engineering curriculum in the department and it gives high importance to safety and health education not only via core course module called CP406: Industry Safety and Health, but also through the practice of safety and health procedures when carrying out teaching and learning as well as research activities. The department consists of following laboratories for teaching and research activities.\u00a0<\/p>

Massage from the Department Safety Officer<\/strong><\/p>

Maintaining a safe working environment within any organization is a fundamental responsibility. As the Department Safety Officer, it is my duty to ensure a safe and supportive learning environment within the department premises. However, safety is a shared responsibility among laboratory staff, instructors, and students and must be practiced at all times.<\/p>

All users are required to strictly follow the safety guidelines and procedures outlined in the Laboratory Safety Manual. Any hazards, unsafe conditions, or incidents must be reported immediately to the appropriate authority. I encourage everyone to remain alert, be aware of their surroundings, and conduct all laboratory work carefully and responsibly.<\/p>

Your cooperation and commitment to safety in helping maintain a safe and productive learning environment are highly appreciated.<\/p>
