商品描述

A comprehensive, up-to-date introduction to the foundations of classical safety engineering, with an emphasis on preparing for future challenges.

Systems today are orders of magnitude more complex than in the past, and their complexity is increasing exponentially. Preventing accidents and losses in such systems requires a holistic perspective that can accommodate unprecedented types of technology and design. This textbook teaches the foundations of classical safety engineering while incorporating the principles of systems thinking and systems theory. Beginning with the framing and lessons of her classic text, Safeware, Nancy Leveson builds on established knowledge and brings the field up to date, challenging old approaches and introducing new ones. This essential book provides the core information required to build safety-critical systems today and in the future, including coverage of the historical and legal frameworks in which the field operates as well as discussions of risk, ethics, and policy implications.

  • Presents cutting-edge concepts anticipating the safety challenges of the future alongside thorough treatment of historical practices and ideas
  • Provides a comprehensive introduction to the foundations of safety engineering
  • Covers accident analysis, hazard analysis, design for safety, human factors, management, and operations
  • Incorporates extensive examples of real-world accidents and applications
  • Ideal for students new to safety engineering as well as professionals looking to keep pace with a rapidly changing field

商品描述(中文翻譯)

一本全面且最新的經典安全工程基礎介紹，強調為未來挑戰做好準備。

當今的系統比過去複雜了數個量級，且其複雜性正在以指數方式增加。在這樣的系統中預防事故和損失需要一種整體觀點，能夠容納前所未有的技術和設計類型。本教科書教授經典安全工程的基礎，同時融入系統思維和系統理論的原則。從她的經典著作《Safeware》的框架和教訓開始，Nancy Leveson 在既有知識的基礎上進行擴展，將該領域更新，挑戰舊有方法並引入新方法。這本必備的書籍提供了當今及未來構建安全關鍵系統所需的核心資訊，包括該領域運作的歷史和法律框架，以及風險、倫理和政策影響的討論。

- 提出前沿概念，預見未來的安全挑戰，並全面探討歷史實踐和理念
- 提供安全工程基礎的全面介紹
- 涵蓋事故分析、危害分析、安全設計、人因工程、管理和操作
- 融入大量真實事故和應用的範例
- 非常適合對安全工程新手的學生以及希望跟上快速變化領域的專業人士
