The Canadian Society of SafetyEngineering CSSE is a Canadian association which promotes accident prevention. It was founded in 1949 by a small group of dedicated individuals drawn together in the common cause of accident prevention. ref http www.csse.org content about csse history.asp Canadian Society of SafetyEngineering History Bot generated title ref It grew from a provincially based organization to become Canada s largest national and most established professional organization for health and safety practitioners. Today, the CSSE has over 4,500 members across Canada, the United States, and around the world working together to enhance the health, safety and environmental profession. The CSSE supports the operation of 31 local chapters, which provide a local forum for information exchange and networking among professionals. Through chapter meetings and activities, members promote and enhance the profile of the profession in communities throughout Canada. The mission of the CSSE is to be the resource for professional development, knowledge and information exchange to its members, its profession and the Canadian public.

The concept was developed for safe operation of process control instrumentation in hazardous areas, particularly North Sea gas platforms. As a discipline, it is an application of inherent safety in instrumentation. The theory behind intrinsic safety is to ensure that the available electricity electrical and thermal energy in the system is always low enough that Combustion ignition of the hazardous atmosphere cannot occur. This is achieved by ensuring that only low voltages and currents enter the hazardous area, and that all electric supply and signal wires are protected by Zener diode Zener safety barriers. Sometimes an alternative type of barrier known as a galvanic isolation barrier may be used. In normal uses, electrical equipment often creates internal tiny sparks in switches, motor brushes, connectors, and in other places.
