| 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. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| After the course will be completed, students will be able to understand the risk management process, consisting of risk assessment and subsequent decision-making steps in prevention, residual risk management and cyclical review. Together with mastering theoretical foundations, and by using examples from the practice, students will gain skills in the practical implementation of the risk management process in all core faculty-taught areas, allowing students to understand the complexity of the field of safety science. Students will understand that theories, principles and rules are the same in all areas of safety and security, they will know these rules and master the terminology of the field necessary for professional communication, including obtaining information about current terminological problems. The knowledge and skills gained will contribute to analytical and critical thinking development, enabling qualified and flexible decision-making with regard of uncertainty and complexity in risk management. |
