Opis

The book presents the engineering aspects of risk management. The introduction to potential risks is followed by management principles, risk diagnostic, analysis and treatment followed by examples of practical implementation in chemistry, physics and emerging technologies such as nanoparticles; financial and insurance domains are not covered. The book is aimed at students as well as at engineers or scientists faced with these issues in their day-to-day business.
