Course Summary
This module provides students with an in-depth understanding of industrial and technological risk management, particularly within the framework of French and European regulations governing classified installations (ICPE) and Seveso establishments.
Students will learn the regulatory, technical, and methodological foundations of preventing major industrial accidents such as explosions, fires, or toxic releases.
The course covers the main components of risk management systems, including hazard identification, risk assessment, land-use planning, and emergency preparedness.

Students will analyze real-world case studies, interpret safety documents, and simulate industrial risk management scenarios.
At the end of this module, students will be able to:
-
Interpret and apply regulatory requirements for Seveso and ICPE sites.
-
Analyze technological hazards and assess their potential consequences.
-
Participate in the design of PPRTs and emergency plans.
