Assessing and Mitigating Risk
Published in Rebekah Davies, Navigating Telehealth for Speech and Language Therapists, 2023
Digital patient safety is a piece of cake when you make a safety case into a safety cake! Clinical safety can all too often be an afterthought because of the lack of awareness and training around this key factor of patient care. It isn't something we can pick and choose to include in our digital deployments, patient safety is core to every other clinical area and there is no difference with digital safety. It should be baked in, not sprinkled on, in order to maximise safety and efficiency in every aspect of digital practice.
Radiation protection in the nuclear industry

The safety case must also show that all potential abnormal operating conditions and accidental situations have been considered. To do this, it typically uses three types of accident analysis techniques, namely deterministic safety analysis, probabilistic safety analysis and severe accident analysis. These are discussed next.
Classification and quantification of human error in air traffic control: a case study in an airport control tower

The findings of the current study showed that these two methods have a mutually significant correlation in some parameters. PSFs and PEMs in the TRACEr are correlated to EPCs in the CARA method. On the other hand, it can be argued that EPCs are a set of PSFs and PEMs. For example, in the TRACEr, traffic and airspace (traffic complexity, workload real time) with 36.21% was identified as the most important PSF and, in the CARA method, cognitive overload, particularly the one caused by simultaneous presentation of non-redundant information with 16.67% was also identified as one of the important EPCs where both of them are caused by overwork. Furthermore, the CARA method may be considered a useful tool for quantifying the TRACEr according to the results of this study. Therefore, since both methods have been originally developed for ATC, they are generally compatible, especially in terms of EPCs and psychological factors. Nevertheless, the findings of this study also showed that the two methods diverge in some aspects. For instance, the CARA method naturally focuses on generic features of human performance among the key personnel (e.g., controllers and pilots). On the other hand, the more indirect influence of wider organizational issues is evident [18] while the TRACEr is mainly focused on the human–machine interface, considering the cognitive framework of the end user coupled with external factors that may influence the user’s performance [32]. However, the CARA method can be useful not only for quantification in a safety case, but also for determining how to improve human factors in a safety-critical system.
Driver education: how effective?
Published in International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion, 2020
If driver education does not work, what can be done to reduce the crash risks for young drivers? It is clear that delaying teen driver licensure will reduce crashes, and a safety case can be made that minimum license ages should be increased, especially in jurisdictions with 16-year-old or lower ages, but such changes have proven to be difficult to accomplish politically. So what other countermeasures could be considered for the young driver problem? The basic answer is finding ways to reduce their exposure to driving scenarios that pose high risks for young drivers.
Addressing process safety challenges in downstream industries in Brunei Darussalam

The WSHO of Brunei is based on COMAH Regulations 2015. While businesses in Brunei are required to have a safety case, they may use guidelines from any PSM system so long as it satisfies the requirements of the WSHO. Therefore, it can be said that the COMAH regulations are prevalent in Brunei.
