Applied Safety Science and Engineering Techniques (ASSET™)

Applied Safety Science and Engineering Techniques (ASSET) merge hazard based safety engineering and safety science principles in an overall framework of a safety management process to achieve, maintain and continuously improve safety. This ASSET Safety Management process has potential application in virtually any industry and product segment to support informed decisions on solutions to difficult safety issues, using sound safety science and engineering experience and judgment. This paper for the 2011 IEEE PSES symposium covers the ASSET safety management process, its guiding principles and objectives.
