The Institute for an Industrial Safety Culture is a non-profit
organization based in Toulouse, France. It has three objectives
:
- help improve safety in industry, by exchanging experience and
best practice and by transfering the results of safety research
to industry ;
- stimulate debate between high-risk companies and civil society,
by promoting open and informed discussion on these sensitive
issues ;
- acculturate all stakeholders to the questions arising from
risk and industrial safety.
The ICSI is a crossroads between the stakeholders
concerned by industrial safety:
- large industrial groups who manage high-risk activities (chemicals manufacturing,
nuclear power generation, transport, ...) ;
- trade unions ;
- academic and research organisations ;
- local and regional government bodies ;
- associations and NGOs representing civil society.
The ICSI has members from each of these groups, primarily in France. The Institute
has three types of activity :
- education and training: Master's level courses and professional training
;
- interdisciplinary research aiming to improve industrial safety, in close
collaboration with industry ;
- work and discussion groups on various topics related to risk management
and acceptance.
