This subject focusses on how to apply risk management and risk engineering approaches to supporting safety creation and enhancement in socio-technical, engineered systems. Students will learn to anticipate potential accident scenarios in order to support risk treatment decision making. Systems safety concepts are embedded throughout, guiding the student to develop skills at integrating the many influences that affect safety performance.
