About the Book

Safety is more than the absence of accidents. Safety has the goal of transforming the levels of risk that are inherent in all human activity, while its interdisciplinary nature extends its influence far into most corporate management and government regulatory actions. Yet few engineers have attended a safety course, conference or even a lecture in the area, suggesting that those responsible for the safe construction and operation of complex high-risk socio-technical systems are inadequately prepared. This book is designed to meet the expressed needs of aviation safety management trainees for a practical and concise education supplement to the safety literature. Written in a highly readable and accessible style, its features include: ¢ detailed analysis of the forward-looking System Safety approach, with its focus on accident prevention; ¢ classification of transportation safety literature into distinct schools of thought (Tort Law, Reliability Engineering, System Safety Engineering); ¢ real world, practical, illustrations of the theory; ¢ the history, theory and practice of safety management; ¢ inter-disciplinary thinking about safety. The flying public is faced with a bewildering array of aviation safety data from a diverse and ever increasing number of sources. This book is an essential guide to the available information, and a major contribution to the international public debate on aviation safety.

Table of Contents:
Contents: Introduction; Transportation Tort law school; Reliability engineering school; System safety engineering school; Conclusion; Bibliography.

Review :
’Aerospace engineers, air safety managers and anyone trying to grasp the fundamentals and scope of modern air safety are likely to find Patterns in Safety Thinking a very useful introduction and guide to the subject...an excellent road map of this extremely complex subject.’ Aviation Now ’Readers will be delighted by a complete overview of system safety development ...McIntyre’s application of system safety thinking to the air transportation world is most effective in the comprehensive scenarios he presents.’ Journal of System Safety ’...a comprehensive but compact guide to safety philosophies which may provoke thought among a wider audience than just the aviaiton industry.’ Industrial Safety Management, October 2003 'The text is copiously referenced throughout, entertaining and shocking by turns, to get its seriously urgent message across.' Occupational Safety and Health Journal (ROSPA) Feb 04
