Hazard Analysis Techniques for System Safety
by Clifton A. Ericson II

Hazard Analysis Techniques for System Safety explains, in detail, how to perform the most commonly used hazard analysis techniques employed by the system safety engineering discipline.

Hazard Analysis Techniques for System Safety also explains when and why to use each technique with sufficient detail and examples to make techniques easily understood and performed by readers.

The first book to provide enough information for a reader to adequately perform the technique without additional training, Hazard Analysis Techniques for System Safety is not overly technical, and can be easily understood by readers with a minimal amount of technical background.
