RELIABILITY, SAFETY AND RISK ANALYSIS C

Synthetic program:

Nowadays, many areas of industrial engineering require a systematic approach to system design and management within given safety and reliability limits. Furthermore, the safety issues are relevant not only from the viewpoint of the technical-scientific profile of the future professional: their evaluation and control are included in specific regulations and laws with respect to standards of emissions, environmental impact, and the filing of safety reports by industries at risk, as regulated by the Seveso's rules. The course addresses the safety issues related to modern industrial activities and illustrates the methodologies available for the evaluation, the management and the control of the associated risks. The objective is to provide the adequate computational tools for tackling the problem with the required scientific rigor. The expertise offered is that expected from a safety and reliability analyst and manager. Quantitative exercise classes are carried out in support to the comprehension of the material covered in class.
