Post Graduate Unit
R2A developed a post graduate unit in Systems Safety for Edith Cowan University, to commence in 2010. The unit is formally part of the ECU’s Public Health post-graduate offerings and uses the 7th Edition (revised) of the R2A Text as its primary resource. See www.sebhs.ecu.edu.au/public_health/osh/ for futher details.
The unit focuses on System Safety being the combined application of systems engineering and management to hazard, risk and precaution analysis of technological systems. It examines the whole of life approach to systems safety. On completing the unit, students should be able to:
• Describe the underlying theoretical concepts of a systems safety approach and its importance;
• Critically review safety processes utilizing a whole of life approach
• Design and implement a process and site safety system; and
• Evaluate the performance of a safety system.
