Course detail
Advanced Methods of Risk Management
FSI-XAM-KAcad. year: 2016/2017
The main kontent of the course is a review of the procedures and methods for hazard identification (sources of risk) and determination of the level of risk (estimation of the frequency of occurrence of an event). The course focuses at industrial safety (with regard to the relevant EU legislation), social risk of industrial activities, deductive and inductive methods of risk sources detection and risk estimation.
