Introduction - Risk & Safety

Study Guide

Course Description

How dealing with uncertainty as an integral part of decision making – e.g., using Bayesian methodologies – and risk governance, will be discussed. Safety and risk will be approached from the level of a project team, a company, and of an entire economic system. Different safety domains will be addressed by several experts in the field. Assignments will be given to further internalize the concepts, methods and techniques and to gain more insight into many aspects regarding risk and safety. The principles of a Safety Management System (SMS) will give structure to both lectures and assignments and will guide the student through the three system levels (policy, organisational, and team or individual level). Topics that will be discussed are: policy & regulation, safety culture, planning and implementing, risk measurement, performance review (and accident investigation), learning. Special attention will be given to various academic skills such as literature research, academic writing and data collection techniques.
