Tag: System Safety Engineering

Safety Engineering is an engineering discipline which assures that engineered systems provide acceptable levels of safety. It is strongly related to industrial engineering/systems engineering, and the subset system safety engineering. Safety engineering assures that a life-critical system behaves as needed, even when components fail.
—Wikipedia, “Safety engineering”

One of the benefits of using a System Safety Engineering process is simply that someone becomes responsible for ensuring that particular hazardous behaviors are eliminated if possible or their likelihood reduced and their effects mitigated in the design. Almost all attention during development is normally focused on what the system and software are supposed to do. System safety and software system safety engineers are responsible for ensuring that adequate attention is also paid to what the system and software are not supposed to do as well as verifying that hazardous behavior will not occur. It is this unique focus that has made the difference in systems where safety engineering successfully identified problems not found by the other engineering processes.
