Course subject(s) 6. Safety and Risk Analysis

This lecture is about risk and safety, words that are very commonly used. But what are they exactly and how can they be useful?

In this first video Frank Guldenmund will start with some definitions considering the questions what is risk and what is safety. After that he will discuss risk analysis, explaining different methods with which risk can be analyzed.
