System safety engineering and risk assessment : a practical approach.

Includes bibliographical references and index

Introduction -- Definitions and concepts -- Safety analysis in engineering: how is it used? -- Safety management -- Hazard analysis -- Process safety analysis -- Fault tree analysis -- FMECA, human factors, and software safety -- Other techniques -- Data sources and training -- Accident reporting, investigation, and documentation -- Risk assessment -- Risk evaluation -- Appendixes

Identifying safety hazards and controlling their impact becomes increasingly difficult as technological systems become more complex. Engineers are finding that safety and risk involve every aspect of engineering system design, operation, and disposal life cycle. This book provides a comprehensive, practical guide for building safety into products and industrial processes
