Risk management strategy using a systems-based approach
The system safety concept calls for a risk management strategy based on identification, analysis of hazards and application of remedial controls using a systems-based approach.[1] This is different from traditional safety strategies which rely on control of conditions and causes of an accident based either on the epidemiological analysis or as a result of investigation of individual past accidents.[2] The concept of system safety is useful in demonstrating adequacy of technologies when difficulties are faced with probabilistic risk analysis.[3] The underlying principle is one of synergy: a whole is more than sum of its parts. Systems-based approach to safety requires the application of scientific, technical and managerial skills to hazard identification, hazard analysis, and elimination, control, or management of hazards throughout the life-cycle of a system, program, project or an activity or a product.[1] "Hazop" is one of several techniques available for identification of hazards.
