When considering three proven methods of risk assessment widely used within energy sector, PHA, FMEA and HAZOP, the question of the adequacy of the method to objectives is raised. After introducing the methodological framework for risk assessment, we take a look at an overview of the three methods. From a perspective shaped by systemic paradigm, we propose the concept of symptom, as thread running through of each method. After detailing the specific symptoms for each method, we put forward two hypotheses. First, a method is not neutral and symptoms are a sign of inclination and drive representations of the scenarios developed. Second, risk assessment workshops, seen as privileged locations for organizational learning, change the relationship between actors and hazardous situations. By locating each method within the triangulation of definition from the systemic paradigm, we invite risk assessment experts to make their tacit knowledge as explicit as possible in order to identify operational levers to control their activity.
Our contribution to the ESREL conference will present the first results of a qualitative and quantitative study on the professionalization of alumni of a post master safety program. The post master Management of Industrial Risks has graduated 197 students since 2004.We addressed an online questionnaire to all the alumni, five in depth interviews will be realized with alumni and their work colleagues and a focus group discussion will be held.The online questionnaire will investigate their careers (company, position and wages) but also how safety is organized in their company, with whom they interact, what are their missions. For the job missions, we focus on their personal convictions, the importance given by their organization or company and the real time spent doing the job missions. We will also investigate the characteristics of their work conditions and what are, from their own point of view, the real contributions for safety in their organization. Finally, the knowledge and competencies they mobilize or want to mobilize doing their job will be assessed.Those findings intend to, firstly, dress a picture of the safety professional daily job, secondly, identify factors that shape the safety professional's role in the organization and, finally, elaborate a more adapted curriculum for the training and development of future safety professionals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
