Overview of generic aspects of risk management (180 hours of contact).

Engineers who control hazards must have a global approach as issues combine numerous aspects.

This first part deals with the concept of risk, risk analysis (identification and estimation), treatment, communication and consultation as well as risk management systems. It includes models, techniques and tools used for any source of risk.

Domain-specific means to handle actual risks (220 hours of contact).

Indeed, engineers must offer concrete and realistic solutions to reach objectives.

This second part deals with means (hazard identification, assessment techniques, controls and standards) that can be applied in specific domains :

• process safety
• toxicological risks for human health
• environmental risks associated with toxic products
• natural and technological risks for construction
• dependability of computing systems
• risks associated with electromagnetic radiation
• safety of electrical systems

Although it involves various scientific domains, this second part does not require deep knowledge of each domain as an introduction to useful skills will be supplied.

A large part of the lectures will be provided by professionals. Case studies will be developed by students.
