Industrial risk control (MRI)
Industrial Risk Control Department - taught on the Bourges campus

The MRI speciality is defined by a systemic risk approach (cindynics, or risk analysis). MRI engineers at the INSA Centre Val de Loire are multidisciplinary engineers focused on the control of industrial risks. They are trained in different types of risk: preventive and corrective action, respect for work and the environment, corporate responsibility, major and external risks.

Each catastrophe provides an intermittent reminder that the impossible can happen. By the 1990s, perception, understanding and management of risk had progressed to the point of bringing about the science of risks, coined cindynics, or more commonly referred to as risk analysis. Making a clean break with the past, risk analysis seeks to find out more about danger and risk through stringent systemic and comprehensive approaches. It therefore combines methods to illustrate the risk, its development and its prevention with a view to setting up all of the necessary organisational processes upstream: decision, management, communication, production, analysis, alert, etc.

Industrial Risk Control Engineers at the INSA Centre Val de Loire are trained in the various aspects associated with managing the risks inherent in a company and its business. Risk management encompasses: preventive and corrective action, safety of people and property, environmental impacts, corporate responsibility, major and external risks.
