Functional Safety In Practice

Harvey T. Dearden

4th edition

Practice up, not theory down.


There is no shortage of material that expounds the theory of functional safety, but precious little about the practice i.e., actual implementation in the 'real world', where we routinely meet a variety of constraints that do not allow the theoretical model to be fully realised.

This book is intended to bridge that gap. Readers are provided with the considerations that should inform their choices and judgements.

This text is the foundation on which the SISSuite software is built. The emphasis throughout is on practicability. SISSuite has been built from 'practice up' rather than 'theory down'.
