(Quality and Reliability Engineering Series) 1st Edition
by Louis J. Gullo (Author), Jack Dixon (Author)
A one-stop reference guide to design for safety principles and applications
Design for Safety
(DfSa) provides design engineers and engineering managers with a range
of tools and techniques for incorporating safety into the design process
for complex systems. It explains how to design for maximum safe
conditions and minimum risk of accidents. The book covers safety design
practices, which will result in improved safety, fewer accidents, and
substantial savings in life cycle costs for producers and users. Readers
who apply DfSa principles can expect to have a dramatic improvement in
the ability to compete in global markets. They will also find a wealth
of design practices not covered in typical engineering books―allowing
them to think outside the box when developing safety requirements.
Design
Safety is already a high demand field due to its importance to system
design and will be even more vital for engineers in multiple design
disciplines as more systems become increasingly complex and liabilities
increase. Therefore, risk mitigation methods to design systems with
safety features are becoming more important. Designing systems for
safety has been a high priority for many safety-critical
systems―especially in the aerospace and military industries. However,
with the expansion of technological innovations into other market
places, industries that had not previously considered safety design
requirements are now using the technology in applications.
Design for Safety:
- Covers trending topics and the latest technologies
- Provides ten paradigms for managing and designing systems for safety and uses them as guiding themes throughout the book
- Logically
defines the parameters and concepts, sets the safety program and
requirements, covers basic methodologies, investigates lessons from
history, and addresses specialty topics within the topic of Design for
Safety (DfSa)
- Supplements other books in the series on Quality and Reliability Engineering
Design for Safety
is an ideal book for new and experienced engineers and managers who are
involved with design, testing, and maintenance of safety critical
applications. It is also helpful for advanced undergraduate and
postgraduate students in engineering.
Design for Safety is the second in a series of “Design for” books. Design for Reliability was the first in the series with more planned for the future.
