| Synopsis |
| Comprehensive in scope, it describes the process of system safety--from the creation and management of a safety program on a system under development to the analysis that must be performed as this system is designed and produced to assure acceptable risk in its operation. Unique in its coverage, it is the only work on this subject that combines full descriptions of the management and analysis processes and procedures in one handy volume. Designed for both system safety managers and engineers, it incorporates the safety procedures used by the Department of Defense and NASA and explains basic statistical methods and network analysis methods which provide an understanding of the engineering analysis methods that follow.This revision of a combined text and reference book for safety engineering courses brings together system safety management and analysis. The basics of safety engineering and methods of application of the principles to specific engineering projects, facilities or operations are covered. New chapters on software analysis, computer fault tree analysis, and Weibull and logarithmic normal distributions are included, all of which have gained importance in recent years. This remains the only book on the market that covers the important subject matter needed by students and practising engineers. |
