Risk and Safety Management Training

ABOUT THE COURSE

The course aims to provide participants with an understanding of the fundamental elements of risk analysis and safety management. The participant will learn about key risk and reliability assessment techniques as well as the broader context of risk management and communication. The first part of the course includes probabilistic risk analysis techniques such as uncertainty modelling, hazard identification, risk reduction and system reliability models. The second part introduces topics for risk managers such as risk regulation, societal aspects of risk, different types of risk factors and consequences. With its focus on analysing and managing risk, participants from different background are welcome in order to obtain a broader view in the field and its techniques. Throughout the course, case-studies and examples from different industries are presented to insure practical implications of the topics discussed.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Engineers, managers and scientists involved in risk assessment and safety management. Personnel from Local Authorities, major facilities operating companies will benefit from attending this course.

About the Lecturers:

Aby Subin

Aby Subin received a BSc. degree in Mathematics from the University of Kerala, Kerala, India, MSc. (Tech) in Mathematics and scientific computing from National Institute of Technology, Calicut, India and is currently a doctoral researcher in the Department of Management Science at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK.

Her current research focusses on optimising product reliability development cost in a supply chain using cooperative game theory and stochastic simulation techniques. Her research interests include applied probability modelling with application areas in risk and reliability, quantitative finance, decision analysis and game theory.

Christoph Werner

Currently Christoph is a doctoral candidate in the department of Management Science at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK.

His primary research interests include: Probabilistic Risk and Reliability Analysis, Decision Theory, Expert Judgement and Dependence Modelling/Elicitation.

With an MSc degree in Operational Research, he has a broader competence in deterministic and stochastic mathematical modelling as well as qualitative modelling and problem structuring.

Working on “real-world” problems is thereby a main premise of his work.
