A crucial aspect of safety case management is the ongoing maintenance of the safety argument through life. Throughout the operational life of any system, the corresponding safety case can be challenged by changing regulatory requirements, additional safety evidence and a changing design. In order to maintain an accurate account of the safety of the system, all such challenges must be assessed f...

Despite significant efforts by all parties involved, there is still a considerable burden of foodborne illness, in which micro-organisms play a prominent role. Microbes can enter the food chain at different steps, are highly versatile and can adapt to the environment allowing survival, growth and production of toxic compounds. This sets them apart from chemical agents and thus their study from ...

In The Lancet, Bela Ganatra and colleagues present an innovative and important analysis of global abortion safety, in which they attempt to move beyond the binary understanding (safe or unsafe) of abortion safety. As the availability of misoprostol increases, and abortion telemedicine services reach more women worldwide, fewer women are undergoing abortions with invasive or outdated methods and...

The ever increasing complexity of automotive vehicular systems, their connection to external networks, to the internet of things as well as their greater internal networking opens doors to hacking and malicious attacks. Security and privacy risks in modern automotive vehicular systems are well publicized by now. That violation of security could lead to safety violations – is a well-argued and a...

Issue 3 of UK Defence Standard (DS) 00-56, published at the end of 2004, is goal-based and replaces an earlier issue of the standard which was much more prescriptive. In civil aerospace the standard for ground-based software (SW01) is also goal-based. This move towards goal-based standards is intended to give system suppliers flexibility in developing systems and in showing that they are safe, ...
