Basic Guide to System Safety is an ideal primer forpracticing occupational safety and health professionals andindustrial safety engineers needing a quick introductionto systemsafety principles. Designed to familiarize the reader with theapplicationof scientific and engineering principles for the timelyidentification of hazards, thisbook efficiently outlines theessentials of system safety and its impact onday-to-dayoccupational safety and health.
Divided into two main parts - The System Safety Program andSystem Safety Analysis: Techniques and Methods - thiseasy-to-understand book covers:
