The course is aimed at studying various aspects of safety and security in industrial applications including: chemical plants, oil & gas, dangerous goods handling etc. Starting form reliability analysis, through Bayesian statistics, reliability modelling and simulation, failure analysis the course will guide the identification of possible risk factors and will presents the most promising methodological approaches. Two practical assignment will be given focusing on industrial incidents involving chemical spills and complex plants failures.
The course addresses structurally the problem of the safety of industrial settlements and industrial plants in general, the introduction provides a basic framework and the connection with the notions learned in the Degree course with the possible completion of the existing "gap" . Part I addresses the structural patterns of cuts and collapses of industrial constructions, structures and carpentry as events often at the root of accidents. Through the analysis of theories and models, the student learns the "safe" design principles in the various scenarios considered. Part II addresses the consequences that industrial accidents can have on the environment and on people by emphasizing causal links and the interconnection between the structural, operational and human aspects of the incident phenomenon. The course is purely applicative with reference to industrial sectors considered to be "high risk" (chemical, nuclear, oil & gas, etc.).

EXAM DESCRIPTION Students with learning disorders ("Disturbi Specifici di Apprendimento", DSA) will be allowed to use specific modalities and supports that will be determined on a case-by-case basis in agreement with the delegate of the Engineering courses in the Committee for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities. The exam is composed of three main parts:
Final grade is the average of (quiz + assignments) and oral examination. Oral examination is based on a presentation made on a course topic chosen by the student and 3 open questions by the teacher. The exercises (assignments) must be delivered to the address: assignments.revetria@dime.unige.it by the day of the exam. Late exercises are not accepted. The exercises done in groups must report on all in the name of the group members. Similar exercises that do not correctly name the group members will be waived. For every wrong question given at quiz time a -0.5 points are subtract.
Evaluation of the level of understanding of the theoretical concepts, evaluation of the practical design and calculation skills, evaluation of the comunication competences in a session of a real life project presentation.
Exercises, software use and seminars are offered during the lectures period.
