Über dieses Buch

This book focuses on technical safety, means of expanding the current procedures, and making the related risks more predictable. It identifies the ‘hidden commonalities’ of the various technical safety concepts and formulates a corresponding procedure, applicable across disciplines, in a single guideline.

The future is now: we constantly face change through science, research and technologies, change through industrial development, and new innovations and complexities. Our society fundamentally depends on technical systems, infrastructures and interconnected smart components, in every corner of the human environment. And these systems bring with them the need for technical safety. The risks of extending what is technically feasible have to be identified and analyzed at an early stage so as to avoid and/or mitigate potential harm by means of appropriate countermeasures.

Every technical field interprets technical safety in its own way. However, if a safety concept is to be comprehensively applied, it must be compatible with all technical fields – a challenge this book successfully addresses.

Chapter 1. Preamble
Abstract
Characteristic of our history as human beings is our development and use of tools and systems which function reliably and are controllable as regards “technical safety”—ranging from simple devices such as hammers and shovels to complex systems such as aircraft and mainframe computers. “technical safety” is to be regarded as an integrated part of the stipulated function (target function). This calls for a holistic way of thinking and a systematic approach over the complete life cycle of products and systems. Here, we must go back to the established structures: “generally accepted rules of technology”, the “state of the art” and the “state of science and technology”. “technical safety” is an inherent quality attribute whose characteristics must be created systematically.

Chapter 2. Development of Technical Safety
Abstract
Technology in the sense of tool developments as aids for humanity has played a central role for millennia and permanently advanced social development. In this process, technical failure was fatalistically tolerated for a long time. Nevertheless, already in 1810, Napoleon issued a decree stating that state officials were to carry out the safety inspection of boilers: this introduced and codified a turning away from the acceptance of accidents and catastrophes as twists of fate.

Chapter 3. Interdisciplinary Approach
Abstract
The last century was marked by epoch-making technological achievements. The two world wars caused devastating destruction, but reconstruction also accelerated the technical progress which, above all, characterized the years of rebuilding after the Second World War. New technologies were developed and are being constantly further developed. Worldwide air travel has long become a reality; space technology has become a productive branch of the economy, and microelectronics and computer technology are now an indispensable part of private life.

Chapter 4. Interdisciplinary Safety Guideline
Abstract
After incidents and accidents, the call is heard over and over again for “more safety”. In the wake of such events, politics and the media often point out that people were endangered, injured or even killed and objects of legal protection threatened or otherwise affected. The call for better rules often gets loud but without an analysis being done first to see whether existing rules have been inadequately implemented.

Chapter 5. Proposal of the VDI “Technical Safety” Committee
Abstract
The Scientific Advisory Council of the VDI felt called on by virtue of its interdisciplinary competence to launch and promote the process of safety awareness. In exercising this technical expertise, the VDI “technical safety” Committee describes in the present publication the basic principles of a safety-methodological concept applicable across disciplines.

Chapter 6. Summary—Lessons Learned
Abstract
We who have the privilege of living in a civilized, democratic state governed by the rule of law are well aware that we can depend on the numerous technical facilities which we use in some form or other in our daily lives. This is ensured by not only the democratic legal system but also, above all, the centuries of experience of our engineers which have been systematically collected in technical standards and guidelines. Nevertheless, time and time again a disturbance or even accident occurs. An overhasty search for a “culprit” then takes place. Engineers do, however, know that absolute, 100% safety is impossible. The question still arises: can’t the occurrence of these—apparently inevitable—incidents and accidents be even further restricted?
