Generic Model for Safety Management of Critical Infrastructure Elements

Abstract

The article summarizes the results of a detailed study of selected elements of critical infrastructure. Based on the interconnection of risk management and safety for technical installations and their selected critical elements and, above all, the lessons learned from the study of their accidents and failures, a ge-neric model for managing their safety during the operation is compiled. Its main parts are and described, e.g. a process of risk management towards safety; structure of safety management over time, the division of responsibilities for risk management and the way of safety management process documentation.
