We all know that safety should be an integral part of the systems
that we build and operate. The public demands that they are
protected from accidents, yet industry and government do not always
know how to reach this common goal. This book gives engineers and
managers working in companies and governments around the world a
pragmatic and reasonable approach to system safety and risk
assessment techniques. It explains in easy-to-understand language
how to design workable safety management systems and implement
tested solutions immediately. The book is intended for working
engineers who know that they need to build safe systems, but aren't
sure where to start. To make it easy to get started quickly, it
includes numerous real-life engineering examples. The book's many
practical tips and best practices explain not only how to prevent
accidents, but also how to build safety into systems at a sensible
price. The book also includes numerous case studies from real
disasters that describe what went wrong and the lessons learned.
See What's New in the Second Edition: New chapter on developing
