Safety Forecasting

Safety forecasting is the activity a manager carries out to estimate the probability, frequency, and severity of accidents that may occur in a future time span. Safety forecasting is risk assessment. This is usually done by means of physical risk assessment, critical task identification, and task risk assessment. It also entails estimating the effects of risk reduction brought about by a stable safety management system. Hazard and operability studies are part of this function.

We are at the start of the Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety following from the UN Declaration and the 4th Road Safety Action Programme adopted by the European Commission for the years 2011 2020. To ensure an effective and efficient road safety policy we need tools to help with strategic decisions. Long-term strategic road safety and road infrastructure programmes and plans rely on road safety forecasts and assessments of the current situation and how it will evolve over extended periods of time (10, 20 or even 30 years). 

Level A for Operational Safety Management updates the plant status for specific components that are out of service and forecasts the effect on core melt frequency using minimal cutsets generated in Level B. Code features include ... 

It will be necessary to forecast the amount of traffic to be generated by the development within the site and to propose a form of junction that not only deals with the site s traffic but also adequately caters for the existing traffic on the road. Tests for capacity are required and attention should also be given to the safety of operation of the proposed access. 

The demands are given as orders which are partially movable or have a fixed assignment to a resource with dearly defined setup, production and deaning times. There are also anonymous demands that were calculated from forecasts. The target inventory is a soft constraint that is used to model dynamic safety stocks. Most quants must fulfill integer batch sizes and often minimum lot sizes. 

The adequate knowledge of the parameters (such as volume, petrophysical properties, aquifer size and activity, their determination, and forecast, etc.) of the underground gas storage reservoirs is very important, because this guaranties the safety of gas supply in the future, especially in critical periods like January and February, where the consumption is high, and the gas storage reservoirs are mainly discharged. 

The primary focus of late-stage clinical trials is to forecast accurately the benefits and risks of new therapies for the broad population of subjects seeking better therapies, while protecting the safety of those subjects who volunteer to participate in the process. Our present approach has steadily evolved and, for the most part, improved over time. But a number of challenges must be addressed and changes implemented for clinical trials to continue to deliver on their promise.
