Course content
The course summarizes both empirical and ethical fundamentals of safety. The first major topic of the course are approaches and methods of quantitative risk analysis. Students learn the techniques of undesirable event modelling using decision and/or logical trees, and qualitative and quantitative analysis of these models. They systematically deal with methods of calculating the consequences of accidents associated with releases of toxic substances and their dispersions, and with releases of flammable substances and their explosions or fires. In addition, students are introduced into risk analyses in the real environment of industrial enterprises and into use of the analyses for safety management. The second major topic of the course are methods of systematic investigation of accidents and the use of related results. The links between risk analysis, accident investigation and safety management are shown.
