System Safety: HAZOP and Software HAZOP Felix Redmill, Redmill Consultancy, London, UK Morris Chudleigh, Cambridge Consultants Limited, Cambridge, UK James Catmur, Arthur D. Little Limited, Cambridge, UK Hazard and operability studies (HAZOP) is perhaps the most powerful technique for the identification and analysis of hazards. But in many industries it is unknown, and where it is employed it often does not fulfil its potential because of incorrect use. This book describes HAZOP and explains its efficient and effective use. It is a structured text which first teaches HAZOP, step by step, and then provides additional information and guidance on particular problems and applications. It therefore provides a course for those who want to learn the technique and a reference source for practitioners. Not only have the authors employed, researched and taught the method, but they have also written a standard on its use. They are therefore the ideal advisers, not only for introducing newcomers to HAZOP, but also for guiding practitioners through its more advanced aspects. Key features of this book include: * Detailed discussion and practical examples of the application of HAZOP to software-based systems; * An explanation of the overall context of HAZOP in safety analysis; * A method of applying HAZOP to the human components of systems. System Safety - HAZOP and Software HAZOP is based on experience. It is an crucial teaching and reference text on a safety technique which is used in a wide range of industries, including military, process, rail and other transport, electricity generation, and medical. It explains HAZOP and its application to software-based systems for managers, engineers and safety personnel in all industries. Visit Our Web Page! http://www.wiley.com/

"(The authors) provide a much-needed reference on HAZOP ... provides extensive useful guidance additional to that already available in Interim Defence Standard 00-58 and in most parts is extremely readable and well written. ... this book is highly recommended for anyone contemplating the use of HAZOP, the extension of HAZOP to software-based systems or the use of other similar hazard identification technqiues.", Iain Johnstone, , The Hazards Forum Newsletter#"(The book) fully describes the entire [HAZOP] process from A to Z. It also provides all of the necessary information and details to understand HAZOP and the steps involved in performing a HAZOP on any type of system. ... If you are looking for a guide that thoroughly describes HAZOP with examples, insight and obvious experience, I highly recommend this book.", , , Hazard Prevention: Journal of the System Safety Society#"... a very useful contribution that should help practising engineers, particularly software engineers, to design safer systems.", , , Computing and Control Engineering Journal#"....a helpful and authoritative reference....", , , The Hazards Forum Newsletter, Number 29#
