Many approaches to risk control are possible. However, only through
careful reading, evaluation, and study can one make the best choice
of a practical philosophy for a system safety program. The goal is
to apply the best scientific and engineering principles in the best
way, resulting in the soundest and safest possible system.
System Safety for the 21st Century provides in-depth coverage of
this specialized discipline within the safety profession. Written
for both technical and nontechnical reference, this clearly
organized text serves as a resource for both students and
practitioners. It gives basic and essential information about the
identification, evaluation, analysis, and control of hazards in
components, systems, subsystems, processes, and facilities.
Integrating the changes to the field that have occurred since
publication of the first edition, this revised and expanded
resource offers:
* Logical progression from basics to techniques to
applications
* New focus on process safety not found in other texts
* A new and unique section on professionalism for system safety and
other safety practitioners
* Presentation of both system safety scope and essentials
* Consistent chapter format for easy learning includes an
introduction and summary for each chapter
* Review questions reinforcing important points
* A combination of basis requirements with practical
experience
* Information on selected techniques to assess hazards and provide
management oversight
* An updated section on protecting against external events in the
light of the global terrorist threat
* Critiques of existing systems, including those of the Department
of Defense and the
* Department of Energy
Relevant to industry, academia, and government, System Safety for
the 21st Century is an essential resource for anyone studying or
implementing proactive hazard identification and risk control
techniques and procedures.
