Objectives
At the end of the Module the participant will earn the knowledge about
- understand what is IPPC and IED and be familiar with the European Union regulatory framework for environmental management
- know in details the concept and implementation of the Seveso Directive (Seveso II and III); the safety report, the major accident prevention policy (MAPP), the Safety Management System (SMS), Land-Use Planning (LUP) and Emergency Plans
- understand the importance of human and security aspects when dealing with HSSE issues in industry
- know what are Safety (Key) Performance Indicators (SPIs or KPIs) and their use and interpretation.
as well as have the basic knowledge related to the modeling of explosion, fire modeling and industrial fires. The modeling is elaborated by explaining general techniques for accident modeling illustrated by examples of applied methods and concentrate onto the following issues:
- the importance of accident and consequences modeling in industry
- what is the difference between fire and explosion
- explosion mechanisms and fire principles
- general techniques for accident modeling
- to do simple calculation of consequence
Skills in use of the main tools for both areas above will be earned and the competences to solve practical problems in the industry (e.g. as consultant or employeed of an industrial plant) mastered.
