It is widely accepted that every effort should be made to ensure that people are not killed or injured in preventable accidents, yet at the same time it is virtually impossible to guarantee that any engineering system will be completely safe under all conceivable conditions. This book should be of interest to the practising engineer, the designer and the engineering manager, enabling them to make realistic and well-informed decisions about the safety of engineering systems.
