Safety and Civil Protection Engineering

The course is focused on providing the analytical fundamentals of quantitative probabilistic risk analysis applied to working and construction site and criteria of managing residual risk (general target). Knowledge and understanding (ref. section A4.b.2 SUA document): after passing the exam, the students will be able to deal with issues related to safety management both from the point of view of risk analysis and the managing of safety solutions. Applying knowledge and understanding (ref. section A4.b.2 SUA document): after passing the exam, the students will be able to make design choices with regard to the safety of complex systems. After passing the exam, the students will acquire the ability to make judgments with particular regard (ref. section A4.c SUA document) to “assess the safety conditions in the work site, in service activities and in the industrial and civil infrastructures (industrial plants and process, construction site) by focusing the design, operational and procedural strategies necessary to guarantee an appropriate level of safety and to verify the acceptability of residual risk ", particularly in the case of complex systems or problems. The required learning skills will contribute to the process of self-learning (learning skills) that will continue related to the expected professional skills of the learning process, as well as to the required specific issues (ref. A4.c SUA document). Individual and group project work will also contribute to the student's development of self-learning skills also related to the ability to formulate critical judgments and assessments (making judgments) starting from limited or incomplete information (ref. section A4.c SUA document "assessments and analysis of design projects and logistical-operational solutions in construction sites and workplaces, to verify the compliance with the general safety requirements of workers as well as safeguarding the integrity of the environment").
