The issue of risk should be embedded in the mindset of every engineer and manager to improve safety and dependability. Companies can be held accountable by law when a gross failing in health and safety management has fatal consequences. Here risk management, the organisational structure required and the main factors needed for its successful execution, is explored. What risks must be managed as a legal requirement? How is risk quantified? What methods can be used to reduce risk? Such questions are addressed, alongside case histories of recent disasters to illustrate failures in risk management.
In an easy-to-read and accessible way, The risk management of safety and dependability: a guide for directors, managers and engineers presents the key factors involved in successful risk management, so that even non-experts in small- and medium-sized organisations, as well as engineers and managers, can apply sound safety and dependability principles.
