Safety Management in Industry

FSI-XMBAcad. year: 2009/2010

Safety management in industry is based on the hazard identification,
risk assessment and is focused on the risk minimization. Significant support of safety management represent existing legislation derived
from EU legislation in this domain. Logical procedure starts from the main risk sources selection and continue by safety audit and
explanation of the safety audit results. The very significant
possition in the safety management has human factor, which is dominant
in the all steps of technical lifetime.
