Summary

The basic concept of subject is ISO 31000. It is an entry-level subject into professional study at the Faculty, bringing information on the common basics of safety/security management in all fields of further studies at the faculty, familiarizing students with theoretical basics of safety/security, hazards, risks and their management, and with risk management practical rules, procedures and tools. Overall, the subject matter is designed to respect the state-of-the-art in risk management, in addition to the applicable standards and approaches used at UN, OECD and EU level. The main objective is to present an integrated perspective, up-to-date knowledge and practical guidance on how to understand, assess and manage both predictable and unpredictable potential risk situations in practical conditions in society or industry. It also shows how it is necessary, in a rapidly changing environment, to develop strategies and tactics for effective decision-making and management that enable safety/security to be preserved as a quality of life, protection of property and values, functionality of technology and infrastructure.
