Advanced management of safety

It is in the corporate best interest for safety management to be pro-active and provide input from analyses to the impacted public concerning residual risk associated with projects, in addition to the normally expected support to design engineering and project management from conceptual design through final disposal of project waste. Though not for the faint hearted, it is also in the best interest of safety management to have highly interactive reviews by both design engineers and project end users of the various system safety analyses during the analytical process, not for postmortems afterward. Three positive outcomes realized by this method include: 1) a safer design; 2) design engineers experienced in system safety techniques, who can use the techniques on future projects; and 3) hazard controls accepted by system end users, who have bought-in to the controls and are more likely to continue to use them after the completion of the project
