Course Content (Syllabus)
The main concepts, definitions and relevant indices that describe H&S issues are presented, while the main types, causes and consequences of accidents and failures are analyzed. Key risk assessment methodologies are analyzed and illustrated under various techniques (e.g. Fault Trees, Event Trees, Monte Carlo probabilistic modeling), the acceptable risk and potential mitigation measures are identified. Finally, techniques for the optimal decision making under uncertainty are presented with the use of decision trees.
