Abstract

Over many decades System Safety has evolved from a more re-active nature - learning from failures and improving – not really suitable for high consequence enterprises - to today’s more pro-active form. This is now based on better fundamental understanding, better assessment processes, better standards, more comprehensive analysis tools with better audit and regulation procedures. However, unlike ‘set educational subjects’ such as engineering, science, technology and mathematics, there are less opportunities for formal System Safety education and training in academia and elsewhere, even though system safety impacts on all aspects of life. One hopes that this will continue to be rectified.
 This leads us directly to the importance and value of this book, which gives a complete insight into the nature of what System Safety is all about, including its approaches, methodologies and tools, and which provides guidance on the successful application of a comprehensive, pro-active approach for ensuring safe system design.
