Safe Systems cornerstones

The Safe System cornerstones that are conventionally discussed are... 

The Safe System relies on considering a number of key cornerstones, which contribute together in any crash to the severity of the outcome. However, the benefit of the Safe System approach is that action taken in each cornerstone area can often be applied together in a complementary way. Careful planning of the potential individual adjustments that could be effectively applied at particular locations, or preferably at locations or along lengths across the network, can maximise the traffic safety performance benefits achieved. 

Hazard recognition, analysis, and control are the first and critical steps in a preventing undesired events. They are the cornerstone of safety management systems. Engineers and others involved in the prevention of harm play key roles in ensuring safe workplaces, products, equipment, and facilities. 

Systemic chemotherapy is the cornerstone of modern day cancer treatment Chemotherapeutic agents are often caustic solutions that require large high flow venous channels for safe delivery hence the need for central venous access. Chemotherapeutic protocols vary greatly with respect to frequency, intensity, and... 

Before any maintenance work can take place, therefore, a permit to work is written which defines what work is going to be done, what isolations are necessary, how the job is going to be done, and how the equipment will be returned to service. A robust permit to work system is therefore a cornerstone of ensuring safe means of working. It should be signed (at least) by the operations foreman and by the person doing the maintenance work. 

Figure 7-2 shows the detailed information system architecture for implementing CAPE-SAFE within PEEE. In this figure, CAPE-SAFE is connected through the different APIs to plant lifecycle knowledgebase database, plant enterprise applications, and design and operation environments. The plant model (POOM) is the cornerstone of such implementation where safety aspects are manipulated to assist in the different functions that carried out by CAPE-SAFE.
