	Objectives
	EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS AND ACQUIRING COMPETENCE: KNOWLEDGE OF: DEFINITIONS OF RISK, ACCIDENT AND SAFETY AND METHODS OF QUANTIFICATION; ELEMENTS OF PHYSICAL EQUILIBRIA. ELEMENTS OF TOXICOLOGY AND HYGIENE IN THE WORKPLACE; DISPERSION MODELS OF TOXIC SUBSTANCES FOR INSTANTANEOUS AND CONTINUOUS RELEASES. KNOWLEDGE OF FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS: CONDITIONS OF ONSET AND ESTIMATION OF THE ENERGY RELEASED AND EFFECTS; CRITERIA FOR THE DESIGN AND SIZING OF SAFETY SYSTEMS TO PREVENT FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS AND MITIGATE THEIR EFFECTS. KNOWLEDGE OF METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING AND QUANTIFYING HAZARDS AND RISKS KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: ABILITY TO CARRY OUT RISK ANALYSIS THROUGH A QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL HAZARDS, THE LAYERS OF PROTECTION AND MITIGATION OF ACCIDENTS, THE ASSESSMENT OF THE PROBABILITY OF ACCIDENTS OCCURRING AND THE ASSESSMENT OF THE RESULTING DAMAGE. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: KNOWING HOW TO APPLY RISK ANALYSIS TO DESIGN. AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT: ABILITY TO ASSESS THE SAFETY OF OPERATIONS IN THE OPERATION OF PLANTS AND PROCESSES. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: COMMUNICATION SKILLS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CONCEPTS AND CONTENTS OF THE TOPICS COVERED IN THE COURSE. ABILITY TO LEARN: ABILITY TO LEARN CONCEPTS RELATED TO THE SAFETY OF PLANTS AND PROCESSES IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO EASILY ENTER INDUSTRIAL OPERATING CONTEXTS IN THE ANALYSIS AND SAFETY VERIFICATION PHASE OF OPERATING OR DESIGN PLANTS.

	Teaching Methods
	THE COURSE INCLUDES 60 HOURS OF FRONTAL TEACHING IN THE CLASSROOM. BEING A THREE-YEAR DEGREE COURSE, YOU ARE MANDATORY TO ATTEND (AS PER THE REGULATION OF THE COURSE OF STUDIES MINIMUM 70% OF THE TOTAL HOURS OF THE COURSE).

	Verification of learning
	THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN EXAM WITH ASSESSMENT OF THIRTIES. THE EXAM INCLUDES AN ORAL TEST. EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR THE MINIMUM THRESHOLD: THE STUDENT MUST PROVE THAT HE UNDERSTANDS THE DANGER CONNECTED TO AN INCIDENTAL SCENARIO DATA FOR A DEFINED CHEMICAL PROCESS, AND KNOWS HOW TO APPLY THE CORRECT MODELS FOR THE QUANTITATIVE ESTIMATION OF THE DAMAGE. EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR EXCELLENCE: EXTREME COMPETENCE OF THE TOPIC, EXCELLENT ABILITY OF EXPRESSION AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE METHODOLOGIES ILLUSTRATED.
