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.

Specialized Master Degree

Risk Engineering: Principles and industrial applications

High-level technical experts

Where : Toulouse (in the ICSI's facilities)

Objective : complete the generalist education of engineers and scientists with a transverse approach of the tools and analysis methods used for management of technogical risks, as present in different activity sectors: aerospace, chemicals manufacturing, energy, transport, environment, agribusiness, ... This course is mostly in English (20% of lectures in French) in order to satisfy an increasing level of demand from engineering consultancies for experts who can work on large international projects. The course is co-accredited by two french technological universities: the INSA de Toulouse and the Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse .

Prerequisites : Master's level diploma in a scientific, engineering or technical discipline; vocational training for candidates with several years' experience in industry. Candidates should have a reasonable level of French.
