Description
Engineering a Safer World: Systems Thinking Applied to Safety
Nancy G. Leveson proposes a new approach to safety that is more effective, less expensive, and easier to use than current techniques.
This groundbreaking book presents a new model of causation based on modern systems thinking and systems theory, and shows how it can be used to create techniques for system safety engineering, including accident analysis, hazard analysis, and management of safety-critical systems. Real-world examples from the friendly-fire loss of a U.S. Blackhawk helicopter, the Vioxx recall, and other incidents illustrate the practical application of Leveson's approach.
