Abstract

The aim of this paper is to recommend that the subjects and contents of certified safety engineers use safety engineering undergraduate curriculum system for reference. Human resources play an important role in accident prevention and loss control. Education on safety engineering develops quickly in China. Moreover, the State Administration of Work Safety and the National Human Resources and Social Security Ministry have implemented a certified safety engineer qualification and examination system. The content of the four core curriculum of safety engineering-1) principles of safety science, 2) system safety engineering, 3) ergonomics and 4) safety management-can be clearly delineated. However, the content division of four examination subjects of certified safety engineers examination-1) production safety law and related legal knowledge, 2) safety production management knowledge, 3) safety production technology and 4) case studies of safety production accidents- has a lot of crossover. There is no conflict between the fundamental purposes of professional safety education and certified safety engineers qualification and examination system. Safety engineering undergraduate curriculum covers the content of a certified safety engineer examination.
