WP4 consists of six tasks:
- Systems design and constraints
- Prevention and safe design
- Scenarios and phenomena
- Mitigation and consequence modelling
- Strength of knowledge (SoK)
- Risk communication and comprehension
WP4: Safety science and risk
WP4 covers research areas within safety science and risk. WP4 include system design and constraints, prevention and safe design, scenarios and phenomena, mitigation and consequence modelling, strength of knowledge. WP4 also have a task working on risk communication and comprehension.
