# PO Domains Programme Learning Outcome
PO1 Knowledge - Breadth knowledge of the hazards posed by processing hazardous chemicals due to their inherent nature, potential to combine unintentionally with other chemicals and potential to react outside of the permitted operating envelope.
PO2 Knowledge - Kind a knowledge of the behaviour of reacting chemicals, of the process deviations possible on a chemical plant and of the consequences of loss of containment
PO3 Skill - Range an ability to identify chemical process hazards, to quantify the likelihood and consequences of their occurring and to assess the measures to avoid, reduce or mitigate the risks.
PO4 Skill - Selectivity the ability to select and apply the appropriate risk assessment techniques.
PO5 Competence - Context the ability to identify process safety risks and to evaluate the risks and risk reduction opportunities
PO6 Competence - Role the ability to work alone, as a member of a team or team leader; the ability to communicate verbally and in writing; the ability to facilitate the management of chemical process technical safety.
PO7 Competence - Learning to Learn the ability to investigate safety aspects that are previously unfamiliar to the participant, by reference to published scientific and technical material, and to analyse, synthesise and communicate this knowledge.
