Based on the broad definition on emergency preparedness: All technical, operational and organisational measures which prevent a dangerous situation that has occurred from developing into an accidental event, or which prevent or reduce the harmful effects of accidental events that have occurred, the study will concentrate on technological emergency response arrangements. Technical safety systems that are explisitly designed for safety purposes and technical safety in which safety is an integrated part are considered in the subject.

Required prerequisite knowledge
Recommended prerequisites
Exam
Form of assessment | Weight | Duration | Marks | Aid |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 article to be defended orally | 1/1 | Letter grades |
Project work resulting in an article that is orally defended (group/individual) is the basis for evaluation in the subject.All candidates in a project group will be given the same assessment, provided that the contribution from each candidate is sufficient.
Coursework requirements
The following requirements are mandatory in order to get the project work evaluated:
- Candidates must, to scheduled deadlines, hand in a 1st and a 2nd draft project report and participate in guidance sessions based on the drafts.
- Candidates must select at least three scientific articles on the basis of a documented literature search. The selected articles must be relevant to and applied in the project work.
- Candidates must design the project work in order to incorporate central parts of the subject's curriculum. The students shall incorporate systems theory and model for safety management into the project work.
- Candidates must, to a scheduled deadline, hand in the final project report and present the report orally.
