System Safety Management
System safety and other associated disciplines such as reliability, quality, integrated logistics, and human factors are necessary to “Assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women” (William Steiger’s Act, 1970). To assure safety is achieved, the starting point of the system safety lifecycle is having a plan.
