R2A Manual - Risk & Reliability:

Engineering Due Diligence

Risk & Reliability: Engineering Due Diligence is a comprehensive guide containing information on the concepts and applications of due diligence, risk and reliability theory.

The 8th edition reflects the Australian intellectual transition from a focus on hazard based risk management to precaution based risk management. This transition involves rejecting any notion of acceptable or tolerable levels of risk or safety in favour of demonstrating that all reasonable practicable precautions are in place for all credible critical issues, based on the balance of the significance of the risk versus the effort required to reduce it. This precautionary balance includes expense, difficulty and inconvenience, and utility of conduct, meaning what other good things will be lost by adopting the precaution.
