Establishing Confidence in Safety Assessment Evidence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
With the increased complexity and higher safety commitment of modern safety–critical systems, safety assessment models of these systems are increasingly complicated and obscure.

Incremental Assurance Through Eliminative Argumentation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
An assurance case for a critical system is valid for that system at a particular point in time, such as when the system is delivered to a certification authority for review.

Use of Physiologically-Based Kinetics Modelling to Reliably Predict Internal Concentrations of the UV Filter, Homosalate, After Repeated Oral and Topical Application

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Ethical and legal considerations have led to increased use of non-animal methods to evaluate the safety of chemicals for human use. We describe the development and qualification of a physiologically-based kinetics (PBK) model for the cosmetic UV filter ...

An Assurance Framework for Independent Co-assurance of Safety and Security [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Integrated safety and security assurance for complex systems is difficult for many technical and socio-technical reasons, such as mismatched processes, inadequate information, differing use of language and philosophies, etc.

o-Aminoazotoluene, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene, and N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea, which are mutagenic but not carcinogenic in the colon, rapidly induce colonic tumors in mice with dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis

open access: yesGenes and Environment, 2022
Background Several rodent models with chemically induced colon cancer have been developed. Among these models, dextran sulfate sodium (DSS), a colitis inducer, combined with azoxymethane as a colon mutagenic carcinogen, is commonly used.

Concepts of Safety Critical Systems Unification Approach & Security Assurance Process

open access: yes, 2020
The security assurance of computer-based systems that rely on safety and security assurance, such as consistency, durability, efficiency and accessibility, require or need resources. This targets the System-of-Systems (SoS) problems with the exception of

Airborne Separation Assurance Systems: towards a work programme to prove safety [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
With Full Delegation Airborne Separation Assurance System (ASAS), separation control would be delegated to the (properly equipped) aircraft, i.e. aircraft pilots are responsible for aircraft separation.

Constructing safety assurance cases for medical devices

open access: yes, 2022
S.40-45This paper lays out a approach for safety assurance case argumentation. The approach links together in a principled manner a device's highest-level safety claims, operating environments and hazards; and its safety requirements, final ...

Probative blindness and false assurance about safety [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Safety activities may provide assurance of safety even where such assurance is unwarranted. This phenomenon – which we will call “probative blindness” – is evident both in hindsight analysis of accidents and in the daily practice of safety work.

Life cycle assessment needs predictive spatial modelling for biodiversity and ecosystem services

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Life cycle assessments are used by corporations to determine the sustainability of raw source materials. Here, Chaplin-Krameret al. develop an improved life cycle assessment approach incorporating spatial variation in land-use change, and apply this ...
