Summary
Industrial risks as a phenomenon accompanying technological development.
Chronic and acute risks, chemical risks, physical risks, biological risks,
stress. Historical case studies of major accidens: Bhopal, Flixborough,
Feyzin, Piper Alfa, Mexico, Chernobyl, Toullouse. Methods of industrial risk
analysis, deterministic and probabilistic approaches, indexing, screening and
complex methods of risk analysis. Risk management in industry, OSHAS,
