Description	This module is a shorter and higher level version of module C7 Hydrogen Safety of the MSc programme Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Technology, only granting 10 credit. It will supply the basic knowledge necessary in assessing risks from operating fuel cell and/or hydrogen systems. Students will understand effects and learn how to mitigate and manage risks. The topics covered in the module are: -Introduction to hydrogen safety -Hydrogen properties and hazards, comparison with other fuels -Hydrogen safety engineering, laboratory codes of practice, safety precautions -Handling hydrogen releases -Hydrogen interaction with materials -Case studies
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Demonstrate knowledge related to hydrogen properties and hazards and ability to apply this knowledge to hydrogen safety engineering design, including compliance with regulations, codes and standards Evaluate requirements for safety provisions by taking into consideration knowledge on hydrogen releases, ignition, laboratory codes and material properties Assess issues and hazards of hydrogen handling as compared to other energy carriers and fuels Give guidance to other professionals in tackling hydrogen safety problems
