Anyone who's called upon to address a problem and the relative sense of confusion associated with it, above all those who do so in a professional capacity, must have at least a basic knowledge of the underlying psychology. In fact, in order to effectively perform one's own institutional role, as well as any unforeseeable tasks that may be imposed by the specific circumstances, it is crucial to have a certain familiarity with the basic principles of this discipline, which marks a borderline between the rigidity of the exact sciences and the flexibility of the social sciences. This book is dedicated at all those working in the field of security, emergency and risk management, including: engineers, psychologists, public authorities, armed forces personnel, para-medical staff and health workers, Civil Protection personnel, Firefighters, etc.

Safety and Security Studies is an interdisciplinary area of research and this book includes specially selected papers. These papers encompass the work of engineers, scientists, field researchers and other specialists involved in one or more of the theoretical and practical aspects of safety and security.Due to the interdisciplinary nature of this field it forms an area of research and application that brings together in a systematic way, many disciplines of engineering, from the traditional to the most technologically advanced. This volume covers topics such as crisis management, security engineering, natural and man-made disasters and emergencies, risk management, and control, protection and mitigation issues.

In its 8th edition the SAFE conference continues to publish important research contributing to the development of the field. The papers included in this volume are the work of engineers, scientists, field researchers, managers and other specialists involved in one or more of the theoretical and practical aspects of safety and security. Safety and Security Engineering, due to its special nature, is an interdisciplinary area of research and application that brings together in a systematic way, many disciplines of engineering, from the traditional to the most technologically advanced. This volume covers topics such as crisis management, security engineering, natural and man-made disasters and emergencies, risk management, and control, protection and mitigation issues.
