Abstract |
The authors of this book advocate an integrated approach to safety, reliability and management which involves bringing together efficient engineering systems and controls of plant and equipment (hardware), efficient management systems and procedures (software), a practical understanding of people (liveware), and a general knowledge of other human factor considerations. They explain in an essentially non-mathematical manner how high levels of safety and reliability can be attained, how they are assessed, and how residual risk can be managed so as to minimise harm to humans and to the environment. |
