To show the legal framework in Spain and Europe that regulates the field of risk assessment and industrial and environmental safety. To show the application of international standards in these areas. Present a well-organized structure of risk management in industrial processes and the integration of safety in them.
Collect and apply the most important technical fundaments in this subject to help the student to apply them properly in different practical cases.
As established in the Master's report, the contents of the subject are related to: Legislation related to risk assessment. Standardization. Risk management: international standards. Real modeling of loss of containment (LOC) scenarios. Quantitative risk analysis (QRA). Protection levels (LOPA) and calculation of integrity levels (SIL). Risk matrices.
LECTURES.
Topic 1. Regulatory framework and standards related to risk assessment. Importance of internationalization in the development of engineering projects. Risk management in the industry.
Topic 2: Modeling of loss of contention (LOC) real scenarios. Gas and liquid leaks. Catastrophic breakdown.
Topic 3. Qualitative and quantitative risk assessment. Qualitative methods: HAZOP. TNO methodology for QRA.
Topic 4. Risk matrices. LOPA analysis. The risk matrix in the assessment of recommendations for decision-making related to risk management. The risk matrix in determining the SIL index. LOPA analysis.
Topic 5. Design of the Safety Instrumented System (SIS). Specifications of safety functions. Conceptual design of the SIS.

BASIC AND GENERAL COMPETENCES
CB7 - That students know how to apply the acquired knowledge and their ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study.
CB8 - That students are able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of formulating judgments based on information that, being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments.
CB9 - That students know how to communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and ultimate reasons that support them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.
CB10 - That students possess the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous.
CROSS COMPETENCES
CT3 - Mastery of time management and critical situations.
CT6 - Ethical commitment in the framework of sustainable development.
SPECIFIC COMPETENCES
CE6 - Design products, processes, systems and services of the chemical industry, as well as the optimization of others already developed, taking as a technological base the various areas of chemical engineering, comprehensive of processes and transport phenomena, separation operations and engineering of chemical, nuclear, electrochemical and biochemical reactions.
CE8 - Direct and supervise all types of facilities, processes, systems and services in the different industrial areas related to chemical engineering.
CE10 - Design, build and implement methods, processes and facilities for the comprehensive management of supplies and waste, solid, liquid and gaseous, in industries, with the ability to assess their impacts and risks.
