System safety history

Database for management of sanitary and storm wastewater collection systems. Maintains field operations data including safety history, engineering data, inspection recoids, and work orders. Requires 640K memory and hard disk. 

A bit of history on the evolution of system safety will give an insight into its origins, the need for the hazard analysis and risk assessment techniques which were developed, and the place that system safety has attained. Authors don t agree on when or where it all started. But, all the historical references on system safety do relate to the military or to aeronautics. 

C. W. Childs, in Industrial Accident Prevention Through System Safety, gives this brief history of the origins of system safety ... 

System Safety 2000 by Joe Stephenson. This book begins with a history of and the fundamentals of system safety. Then, the author moves into system safety program planning and management, along with system safety analysis techniques. About half of the book is devoted to those techniques. A safety generalist would find it a good and not too difficult read.

Therefore, when using the severity and probability techniques simultaneously, hazards can be examined, qualified, addressed, and resolved based upon the hazardous severity of a potential outcome and the likelihood that such an outcome will occur. For example, while an aircraft collision in midair would unarguably be classified as a Category I mishap (catastrophic), the hazard probability would fall into the Level D (remote) classification based upon statistical history of midair collision occurrence. The system safety effort in this case would require specific, but relatively minimal...

The score received under the CSMS will be issued based on the gravity of the offense, how long ago it occurred, and as compared to its peers. The scores are updated every 30 days. Safety history will be calculated into the formula for two years. The driver data will still be included in the carrier s history even if the driver is no longer employed with the motor carrier. This information is used in both the Safety Measurement System and Inspection Selection System (ISS). The ISS is used by roadside inspection personnel when making a determination on whether or not to inspect a motor carrier.

The history of the safety field goes back to 1868, when a patent for a barrier safeguard was awarded in the United States [5]. In 1893, the U.S. Congress passed the Railway Safety Act. Today, the field of safety has branched out into specialized areas such as system safety, workplace safety, and patient safety. A detailed history of the safety field is given in Dhillon [6].
