Engineering a Safer World: Systems Thinking Applied to Safety (Engineering Systems)
Kindle Edition Hardcover Paperback"Engineering a Safer World" focuses on the importance of systems thinking when it comes to safety in engineering. The book explains how traditional approaches to safety, such as relying on regulations and standards, are not always effective. The author, Nancy Leveson, argues that a system-based approach is necessary to identify and address the complex factors that contribute to accidents and failures. Using case studies from aviation, nuclear power, and other industries, Leveson illustrates the concepts and principles of systemic safety engineering. The book provides a comprehensive guide for engineers, regulators, and others involved in the design and operation of complex systems, emphasizing the need for a culture of safety and the importance of collaboration across disciplines. Ultimately, "Engineering a Safer World" promotes a new mindset and approach that can help prevent accidents and protect people's lives.
