Jun 1, 2008 · It follows from this that safety factors are best understood in a framework of safety engineering that includes the reduction of both risk and uncertainty. 6. Safe fail. The concept of safe fail is that safety shall be retained even if parts of the system or perhaps the whole system fails.

Safety in engineering design begins with identifying possible hazards that could occur, as well as the corresponding system states that could lead to an accident or incident in the designed system. This is determined through hazards analysis. The initial hazards analysis should begin at the earliest concept formation stages of systems design ...
Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis (HIRA) is a collective term that encompasses all activities involved in identifying hazards and evaluating risk at facilities, throughout their life cycle, to make certain that risks to employees, the public, or the environment are consistently controlled within the organization’s risk tolerance.
Sep 14, 2012 · For problems that potentially affect large numbers of people or large geographic areas or that are otherwise substantial and irreversible, precaution is the basis for safety factors in engineering design. As shown in Fig. 1, near-field impacts can occur on a small scale (e.g., neighborhood) from a chemical spill or other emergency situation ...

Jan 1, 2009 · Risk is ubiquitous in technology, and safety has been a central concern of engineering as long as there have been engineers. In codes of engineering ethics, the engineer's responsibility for the safety of workers and the public is strongly emphasized. Technological risk and safety is an area in which the terminology is far from well established.
