Biography
Wim Van Wassenhove is a researcher specializing in industrial risk management and workplace safety. His work focuses on the analysis of emergency response systems, the training of safety professionals, and the professional development of stakeholders in the field. He has contributed to the development of methods for observing and evaluating crisis management simulations, particularly in the context of Seveso-type emergency plans, thereby helping to improve organizational learning processes. His expertise also extends to the pedagogy of safety training, where he explores the mechanisms of professional socialization for future experts, as well as the fundamental skills required to work in this sector. His research also addresses the dynamics of health, safety, and working conditions committees (CHSCT/CSE) and issues related to the quality of post-master’s training programs in industrial risk management.
