Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Presents recent breakthroughs in the theory, methods, and applications of safety and risk analysis for safety engineers, risk analysts, and policy makersSafety principles are paramount to addressing structured handling of safety concerns in all technological systems. This handbook captures and discusses the multitude of safety principles in a practical and applicable manner. It is organized by five overarching categories of safety principles: Safety Reserves; Information and Control; Demonstrability; Optimization; and Organizational Principles and Practices. With a focus on the structured treatment of a large number of safety principles relevant to all related fields, each chapter defines the principle in question and discusses its application as well as how it relates to other principles and terms. This treatment includes the history, the underlying theory, and the limitations and criticism of the principle. Several chapters also problematize and critically discuss the very concept of a safety principle. The book treats issues such as: What are safety principles and what roles do they have What kinds of safety principles are there When, if ever, should rules and principles be disobeyed How do safety principles relate to the law; what is the status of principles in different domains The book also features:\* Insights from leading international experts on safety and reliability\* Real-world applications and case studies including systems usability, verification and validation, human reliability, and safety barriers\* Different taxonomies for how safety principles are categorized\* Breakthroughs in safety and risk science that can significantly change, improve, and inform important practical decisions\* A structured treatment of safety principles relevant to numerous disciplines and application areas in industry and other sectors of society\* Comprehensive and practical coverage of the multitude of safety principles including maintenance optimization, substitution, safety automation, risk communication, precautionary approaches, non-quantitative safety analysis, safety culture, and many othersThe Handbook of Safety Principles is an ideal reference and resource for professionals engaged in risk and safety analysis and research. This book is also appropriate as a graduate and PhD-level textbook for courses in risk and safety analysis, reliability, safety engineering, and risk management offered within mathematics, operations research, and engineering departments.NIKLAS MÖLLER, PhD, is Associate Professor at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden.
