Safety terminology Sample Clauses

Safety terminology. According to the dependability taxonomy, safety is an attribute of dependability. In this sense, safety can be considered to be a particular kind of dependability that focuses on failures of systems that are designed to protect against loss of life or damage to the environment. In this context, it is interesting to note that within the railway community, safety is considered to be one of a set of system properties that need to be considered, namely reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS), each of which is a different attribute of dependability. However, the safety community uses its own terminology for discussing safety-related faults, errors and failures. In particular, it talks about accidents, incidents and hazards. An accident is an undesired event that results in loss or damage whereas an incident is an event that involves no loss (or only minor loss) but has the potential for loss in different circumstances. A hazard is a potential source of harm, a hazardous situation is a situation in which harm is possible, and a hazardous event is an event that may result in harm. A harmful event occurs when a hazardous situation or hazardous event results in harm. It is also possible to make a distinction between a safe failure and a dangerous failure. If there is a known safe state, the design of the system can be biased towards failing in this direction. This is illustrated in Figure 1, which is taken from the Xxxxxxx Safety Case Development Manual [32]: Figure 1 – Model of system failure behaviour
