SHELFS: A Proactive Method for Managing Safety Issues

Abstract

Safety knowledge is an important asset for managing safety critical organizations. In the paper we claim that reactive methods are not the more adequate approach to capture represent and reuse safety knowledge. The organizational model of accidents and the organizational learning processes ask for a different approach in analyzing and documenting safety issues. We present a proactive approach having a holistic view of the productive system, where all the system components and their interactions are analyzed. Examples drawn by an experimentation of the method are used to illustrate it.
