Course Description

This course explores advanced risk management principles in process industries, emphasizing hazard identification, risk estimation, and incident modeling. Students learn to analyze consequences of incidents, model risks (fire, explosion, collision), and make informed decisions under uncertainty, with practical applications in real-world case studies.

Course Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
  • Apply risk management principles to process industries.
  • Estimate and analyze risks and consequences of incidents.
  • Use models for fire, explosion, and collision risks.
  • Make decisions under uncertainty in risk contexts.
  • Conduct Fire and Explosion Risk Assessments (FERA).
  • Apply risk management to case studies.
