The SAE International G-48 System Safety Committee held The Safety Case Workshop at APT Research in Huntsville, AL on 15 January 2014 with several DoD agencies and leading contractors present to further study and capture the Safety Case process and methods for refinement and possible future promulgation in several Safety Standards, [5] as ...
A safety review of the Nimrod MR2 carried out by the MoD, BAE Systems and QinetiQ branded a "lamentable job" Haddon-Cave condemned the change of organisational culture within the MoD between 1998 and 2006, when financial targets came to distract from safety, quoting a former senior RAF officer who told the inquiry:
2019 – A study identified widespread lead chromate adulteration of turmeric, intended to enhance its yellow color, as the primary cause of lead poisoning in Bangladesh, which had been practiced since the 1980s. [97] By 2021, the practice had been effectively eradicated following a massive crackdown by the Bangladesh Food Safety Authority. [98]
Important case studies in HRO research include both studies of disasters (e.g., Three Mile Island nuclear incident, the Challenger Disaster and Columbia Disaster, the Bhopal chemical leak, the Chernobyl Disaster, the Tenerife air crash, the Mann Gulch forest fire, the Black Hawk friendly fire incident in Iraq) and HROs like the air traffic ...
For example, the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 was made more severe due to the heavy concentration of lumber industry facilities, wood houses, and fuel and other chemicals in a small area. The Convention on the Transboundary Effects of Industrial Accidents is designed to protect people and the environment from industrial accidents.
The regulations imposed a non-prescriptive regime on facility operators, requiring them to demonstrate control of major hazards via the use of a safety management system and a safety case. As a result, about fifty major-hazard facilities had to develop and submit a safety case by 30 June 2002 to the regulator WorkSafe, a division of the ...
The abbreviated study would be unlikely to accomplish either of these goals because the sample size is expected to be only 300 crashes, compared to the 900 crashes collected and analyzed in the Hurt Study, 921 in the MAID's Study (Europe 2000) and the 1,200 recommended by the National Transportation Safety Board."

These accidents highlighted the dangers of software control of safety-critical systems. The Therac-25 has become a standard case study in health informatics, software engineering, and computer ethics. It highlights the dangers of engineer overconfidence [2]: 428 after the engineers dismissed end-user reports, leading to severe consequences.
