It is co-sponsored by EUREL, the Hazards Forum, the BCS, the Safety -Critical Systems Club and the Institute of Measurement and Control. The field of safety critical systems is becoming of increasing importance and includes all those processes, products and services where a breakdown or design fault might lead to death or injury or damage to property. The School will provide participants with a firm grounding in the theory and practice of modern techniques for defining and managing the risk potential of computer-based systems. In future it is likely to become increasingly difficult for a company that has not employed such techniques to argue that it has exercised proper legal care for the safety of its products and services. The structure of the lectures will be based on the "safety lifecycle" from the draft International Standard IEC 61508 ("Functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic systems") which is a generic standard from which many sector standards will be based. An understanding of IEC 61508 will therefore provide participants with a sound basis for dealing with the requirements of their industry sector. Lectures will be given by speakers from industrial, academic and a safety regulatory body - several of whom are intimately involved with the development of IEC 61508. See for details.
