This 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 done to internalize the different concepts, methods and techniques and to gain more insight into all aspects regarding risk and safety. The Safety Management System will give structure to both the lectures and the assignments and will guide the student through the three system levels. Topics that will be discussed are: policy & regulations, Safety Culture, planning and implementing, risk measurement, performance review (and accident investigation), learning. Special attention will be dedicated to the academic skills of literature research and academic writing.
Part of
Responsible Risk and Safety
This course in the minor Responsible Innovation gives insight into how risk and safety can be managed responsibly, how responsible decision-making should take risk and safety into account, and how safety and risk relate to certain domains such as environmental management, sustainability, respect management, performance management, ethics, resilience, vulnerability, and the alike. How dealing with uncertainty as an integral part of decision making (e.g., using Bayesian methodologies) and risk governance, will be discussed.
