👉 Containment engineering is a specialized field focused on designing, implementing, and maintaining systems that safely isolate hazardous materials, processes, or organisms from the environment and human populations. It involves creating physical barriers, such as specialized containers, facilities, or vessels, to prevent the release of dangerous substances into the air, water, or soil. Containment engineers also develop protocols for emergency response and monitoring to detect and mitigate potential leaks or breaches, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. The goal is to minimize risks associated with handling hazardous materials, protecting both public health and the environment from contamination or exposure.
