An Approach to Maintaining Safety Case Evidence After A System Change
نویسندگان
چکیده
Developers of some safety critical systems construct a safety case. Developers changing a system during development or after release must analyse the change’s impact on the safety case. Evidence might be invalidated by changes to the system design, operation, or environmental context. Assumptions valid in one context might be invalid elsewhere. The impact of change might not be obvious. This paper proposes a method to facilitate safety case maintenance by highlighting the impact of changes.

متن کاملTackling uncertainty in safety risk analysis in process systems: The case of gas pressure reduction stations
Industrial plants are subjected to very dangerous events. Therefore, it is very essential to carry out an efficient risk and safety analysis. In classical applications, risk analysis treats event probabilities as certain data, while there is much penurious knowledge and uncertainty in generic failure data that will lead to biased and inconsistent alternative estimates. Then, in order to achieve...
متن کاملUsing Sensitivity Analysis to Facilitate the Maintenance of Safety Cases
A safety case contains safety arguments together with supporting evidence that together should demonstrate that a system is acceptably safe. System changes pose a challenge to the soundness and cogency of the safety case argument. Maintaining safety arguments is a painstaking process because it requires performing a change impact analysis through interdependent elements. Changes are often perfo...

This paper develops a methodology which allows the correlation between the cost which is required for the application of preventive and mitigation measures dealing with accidents which occur within a railway system and the improvement of the level of safety as a result from their implementation. The safety level is expressed either quantitatively, by the decrease of “fatality risk” indicator...
