Safety, an integral part of a wide range of activities, is supported by several organisations.

 

The IET

The IET supports activities that improve the development and assurance of safety systems.

 

Safety Critical Systems Club

 

Established in 1991, the Safety Critical Systems Club is a non-profit organisation that exists to raise awareness and facilitate technology transfer in the field of safety-critical systems.

It is organised by the Centre for Software Reliability (CSR) at Newcastle University, and cooperates with all bodies involved with or interested in safety-critical systems.

The Club achieves its awareness and technology transfer goals by focusing on current and emerging practices in safety engineering, software engineering, and product and process safety standards. Its activities include:

  • The annual Safety-Critical Systems Symposium in February, with Proceedings published by Springer-Verlag
  • A number of seminars each year, usually lasting a full day
  • Tutorials on relevant subjects
  • A newsletter, Systems Safety, published in January, May and September
  • A directory of support tools at the SCSC website

 

Safety and Reliability Society

 

The Safety and Reliability Society was formed in the UK in 1980 and now has members in the UK, mainland Europe and the Asia Pacific region. It also has an Affiliate membership scheme for academic institutions, industrial companies, and other organisations with interests in safety and reliability and engineering risk management and has around 40 affiliate members. A lively regional branch network supports a thriving national events programme, offering training and networking to members and non-members.

The Society is a Professional Affiliate of the Engineering Council and a member of the European Safety and Reliability Association (ESRA).  It is also represented on a number of bodies including the UK Committee for Defence Equipment Reliability and Maintainability, (CODERM), British Standards Committees, collaborative and inter-institutional groups, and technical committees of several of the major engineering institutions.  This enables it to contribute to the development of standards and best practice, and disseminate information on such developments to its members.
