Integrating Safety-II into Safety Management

2021
We all aim for safe processes. However, providing safety is a complex endeavour. What is it that makes a process safe? And what is the contribution of humans? It is very common to consider humans a risk factor prone to errors. Therefore, we implement sophisticated safety management systems (SMS) in order to prevent potential "human failure".

Safety instrumented functions and safety integrity levels (SIL)

ISA Transactions, 1998
This paper discusses two performance-based standards, ANSI/ISA S84.01 and IEC d61508, and the requirements they place upon user companies of electrical, electronic and programmable electronic safety related systems (E/E/PE SRS) or Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS).

Integrating Patient Safety Indicators into Patient Safety Programs

Journal for Healthcare Quality, 2006
Patient safety indicators (PSIs) can be a valuable reporting tool to incorporate into patient safety plans to monitor performance and identify areas that warrant further investigation. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) developed PSIs as a low-cost tool to enable hospitals to monitor safety patterns within specific patient ...

The Integration of Safety and Security Requirements

1999
This paper investigates safety and security requirements specification methods, and proposed techniques for the integration of contrasting methodologies. The nature of interaction between safety and security requirements, and problems relating to their independent development, are discussed.

Safety computations in integrated circuits

Proceedings of 14th VLSI Test Symposium, 2002
In order to ensure the safety of software-based railway control systems, MATRA TRANSPORT has developed at the beginning of the eighties an "informational redundancy" technique associating arithmetic coding and signature checking, with the adequate environment interfaces (generally fail-safe devices).

Integrating Systems Integration with Safety Certification

Automated People Movers and Transit Systems 2011, 2011
Design Build Operate Maintain (DBOM) Contracts are especially cumbersome for major contractors that are primarily concerned with the fixed facilities (brick and mortar) aspects of the project and tend to not look deeply enough into the systems integration requirements, let alone the safety in design aspects.

Functional Safety (Safety Integrity Levels)

2014
During the 1990s the concept of Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) was developed [1]. It serves to assess safety-related systems and concerns all components and sub-systems required to realize safety functions from the sensor to the final element. Apart from that it applies to application software, which was developed for systems with limited variability ...

Management-Control Integration for Safety-Critical Integration for Safety-Critical Discrete Operation System

2018 International Conference on Control, Automation and Information Sciences (ICCAIS), 2018
The safety-critical discrete operation system is safety-critical, discrete and flow driven. The application of dispatching command system and process control system reduces the work intensity. However, information isolation and human operation may lead to insecurity, inefficiency and high cost. In order to ensure production safety, reduce attrition and
