This white paper lays out some foundational information about different approaches to safety: how various industries differ in their approaches to safety engineering, and a comparison of three general approaches to safety (system safety, industrial safety engineering, and reliability engineering). An attempt is made to lay out the properties of industries and systems that make one approach more...

In this paper, we present a rigorous modular statistical approach for arguing safety or its insufficiency of an autonomous vehicle through concrete illustrative example. The methodology relies on making appropriate quantitative studies the performance constituent components. We explain importance sufficient and necessary conditions at component level overall as well cost-saving benefits approac...

background: in process industries, production, storage, transportation, usage and disposal of chemicals are inherently dangerous and the risk of catastrophic accident occurrence is potentially high. to improve safety level in these industries, establishment of process safety management (psm) system is considered as the most effective measures. this study was conducted to determine the degree of...
