Safety and health at work: regulatory aspects also focused on the offshore industry. Analysis and discussion of some historical case studies (Deepwater Horizon, Piper Alpha etc.). Risk assessment in the offshore context. Hazard identification: Check List Analysis, Job Safety Analysis, HazOp (Hazard Operability Analysis), FMEA Failure (Mode and Effects Analysis), FTA (Fault Tree Analysis), ET (Event Tree Analysis). Risk assessment methods: FAST (Functional Analysis Space Technique), BBS (Behaviour Based Safety), HRA (Human Reliability Analysis). Typical occupational health risks offshore: physical hazards, confined spaces, work at height. Fire and explosion risk assessment: typical hazards, modelling and scenarios. Environmental impact assessment including prevention, control and mitigation.
