PROBABILISTIC SAFETY ANALYSIS (PSA) IN SAFETY MANAGEMENT OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES

Probabilistic Safety Analysis in Safety Management of Nuclear Power Plants

Knowledge Management in Safety-Critical Systems Analysis

Knowledge management in the design of safetycritical systems addresses the question of how designers can share, capitalize, and reuse knowledge in an effective and reliable way. Knowledge management is situated in groups, organizations, and communities, playing different roles in the design process. Design of safety-critical systems has specific properties, such as dealing with complexity, trac...

Evaluating Critical Safety and Health Risks by Job Safety Analysis and Analytic Hierarchy Process in Industrial Printing

Background: Critical risks are one of the most important problems in industries, which have high costs for the industry. This study aimed to assess critical safety and health risks through job safety analysis and analytic hierarchy process in industrial printing. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted as a descriptive and analytical in one of the printing industries in Iran, in...

Cyber Security Threats to Safety-critical, Space-based Infrastructures

Space-based systems play an important role within national critical infrastructures. They are being integrated into advanced air-traffic management applications, rail signalling systems, energy distribution software etc. Unfortunately, the end users of communications, location sensing and timing applications often fail to understand that these infrastructures are vulnerable to a wide range of s...

Probabilistic Model-Based Safety Analysis

Model-based safety analysis approaches aim at finding critical failure combinations by analysis of models of the whole system (i.e. software, hardware, failure modes and environment). The advantage of these methods compared to traditional approaches is that the analysis of the whole system gives more precise results. Only few model-based approaches have been applied to answer quantitative quest...
