Both a systemic and analytic viewpoint are important in this regard. The introduction to the concept of 'risk' is followed by risk management principles, risk diagnostic, analysis and treatment, event analysis, crisis management, economic issues, risk governance followed by examples of practical implementation in chemistry, physics and emerging technologies such as nanoparticles. Finally, also a number of well-known major industrial accidents are discussed, and how one can learn from accidents. The book is aimed at anyone faced with risk and safety issues. The target audience can be as diverse as students, engineers, scientists, sociologists, psychologists, or actually all practitioners and academics interested in the matter. 410 3$aDe Gruyter Textbook 606 $aSystem failures (Engineering)$xPrevention 606 $aRisk assessment 615 0$aSystem failures (Engineering)$xPrevention. 615 0$aRisk assessment. 676 $a620.0068/1 686 $aZG 9200$2rvk 700 $aMeyer$b Thierry$f1961-$01284457 701 $aReniers$b Genserik L.
