On Arguing the Safety of Large Systems
Stone, G.
The Occupational Health and Safety (Commonwealth Employees) Act (OH&S Act) and technical regulations in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) both place obligations on the Department of Defence in relation to the safety of its systems. The RAN's technical regulation system requires that evidence of safety be provided for new acquisitions. A safety case is preferred for major systems. The upgrade of a frigate belonging to a class first commissioned over 35 years ago provides significant challenges to the provision of a safety case that should meet the requirements of the OH&S Act and the RAN's technical regulations. This paper examines some of those challenges and discusses techniques and tools that are being applied to them.
