Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rare Event/Accident Research Methodology: Proceedings of a Workshop Held at the National Bureau of Standards, Gaithersburg, Maryland, May 26-28, 1976 Hammer's workshop presentation provides an overview of the discipline of System Safety Engineering and a brief review of the philosophy and methods of System Safety. Central to his discussion is the principle that accident prevention activities involving any product or system.must be initiated with the earliest concept of that product or system and be maintained throughout its life cycle. As suggested in the title of his paper, Hammer considers this discipline a prime candidate for the task of integrating the contributions of many specialities into a comprehensive program of accident prevention. The analytic methods of system.safety, as presented by Hammer, provide a logical framework for applying the results of research and experience to the very real safety problems faced by industry.
