Safety-Involved Systems (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Safety-involved systems are related to safety-critical systems, but are those that do not have full responsibility for controlling hazards such as loss of life, severe injury or severe environmental damage. The malfunction of a safety-involved system would only be that hazardous in conjunction with the failure of other systems or human error. A life-critical system is designed to lose less than one life per billion (109) hours of operation. Typical design methods include probabilistic risk assessment, a method that combines failure modes and effects analysis with fault tree analysis. Safety-critical systems are increasingly computer-based.
