William R. Rhyne received a B.S. in nuclear engineering from the University of Tennessee and M.S. and D.Sc. degrees in nuclear engineering from the University of Virginia. Dr. Rhyne is currently an independent consultant and earlier cofounded H R Technical Associates, Inc., where he remains a member of the board of directors. He has extensive experience in risk and safety analyses associated with nuclear and chemical processes and with the transport of hazardous nuclear materials and chemicals. From 1984 to 1987, he was the project manager and principal investigator for a probabilistic accident analysis of transporting obsolete chemical munitions. Dr. Rhyne has authored or coauthored numerous publications and reports in nuclear and chemical safety and risk analysis areas and is author of the book Hazardous Materials Transportation Risk Analysis Quantitative Approaches for Truck and Train. He is a former member of the NRC Transportation Research Board Hazardous Materials Committee, the Society for Risk Assessment, the American Nuclear...

Systems theory provides a much better foundation for safety engineering than the classic analytic reduction approach underlying event-based models of accidents. It provides a way forward to much more powerful and effective safety and risk analysis and management procedures that handle the inadequacies and needed extensions to current practice described in chapter 2. 

A nonprofit organization organized in 1962 that is dedicated to supporting the safety professional in the application of Systems Engineering and Systems Management to the process of hazard, safety, and risk analysis to identify, assess, and control associated hazards while designing or modifying systems, products, or services. 

This second edition of a Basic Guide to System Safety has been designed to provide the reader with a fundamental understanding of the system safety discipline, the assessment of risk, the hazard analysis process, and some of the common tools and techniques that can be used to determine levels of hazard risk. Numerous examples have been developed throughout the text in an attempt to demonstrate the applicability of system safety engineering and analysis in the practice of the industrial safety and health professional.
