A site offers free, reusable Master's-level courseware on risk engineering, including slides, lecture notes, problem sets, and Python notebooks covering hazard identification, risk analysis, and statistical modelling.
Engineers and safety professionals in high-consequence domains such as oil and gas, nuclear energy, and aviation can access structured training materials at no cost. The content includes practical statistical methods like copula-based dependency modelling and quantile risk metrics, making it relevant for applied work beyond academia.

The courseware covers hazard identification, risk analysis, risk evaluation, and risk treatment across domains including oil and gas, nuclear energy, chemicals manufacturing, aviation, railways, and civil engineering.
A statistical modelling submodule teaches quantile measures of risk metrics, and a separate submodule covers Value at Risk and copula methods for capturing dependency between random variables.
