Problems in Safety Lifecycle Management

摘要

ACCIDENTS CONTINUE TO OCCUR in many manufacturing facilities, even those where safety systems and other safety protections have been installed. A study conducted by the Health and Safety Executive in the United Kingdom states that these failures are due largely to inadequate safety management. To ensure safety, the standards specify safety lifecycle activities that need to be followed over the entire life of a production system. Safety lifecycle management provides a method or procedure that enables companies to specify, design, implement and maintain safety systems to achieve overall safety in a documented and verified manner.
