System Safety
System Safety calls for a risk management strategy based on identification, analysis of hazards and application of remedial controls using a systems-based approach
Experts in analyzing and integrating safety into systems (composed of electrical, electronic, pneumatic, hydraulic, mechanical components, software (including operating systems, application code, firmware, COTS), data, special items such as ASICs and FPGAs, personnel, environment) since 1988, it all began with the THERAC-25 cancer therapy machine following its accidents where patients were killed.
