This book presents recent research using cognitive science to apprehend risk situations and elaborate new organizations, new systems and new methodological tools in response. The book demonstrates the reasons, advantages and implications of the association of the concepts of cognition and risk. It is shown that this association has strong consequences on how to apprehend critical situations that emerge within various activity domains, and how to elaborate responses to these critical situations.. The following topics are covered by the book:
· Influence of the culture in risk management,
· Influence of the risk communication in risk management,
· User-centered design to improve risk situation management,
· Designing new tools to assist risk situation management,
· Risk prevention in industrial activities.
previously. This new run will reduce the size of the set B, by transferring actions in the set A or in the set C. The algorithm is independent of changes in the ontology. 8.6.3 The Plan Generator Fight action plans are the result of a collaborative work between GENEPI and the user. From the set A (set of actions where all criteria are satisfied), the user selects actions to constitute the Plan. Once the actions are selected, the Plan Generator produces a document where every action is

Public opinion and official policy statements or actions that neither emphasize threats nor socioeconomic benefits to society illustrate the indifferent risk perception. Poll results and document analysis of official policy statements, reports, and regulations were analyzed to assess the respective risk perceptions of policy stakeholders in the United States, Canada,
international pressures to develop biotechnology, senior officials within the Canadian agriculture bureaucracy also emphasized the benefits of new biotechnologies and stressed the need to develop relevant regulations that would protect human and animal health while safeguarding the environment and promoting a competitive advantage for industry [103, 104]. Although the potential hazards of genetically modified organisms were actively debated in response to a 1989 report by the Ecological Society

The work scenario begun with the participant receiving a simulated phone call from the Préfecture Maritime de la Méditerranée, informing about the accident. The severity of the simulated accident required that the intervention plan should have been generated within time restrictions imposed by
