Hazard analysis is an exhaustive technique to support dependability. It is a slow

This report presents the results of surveys of school jurisdictions, Early Childhood Services (ECS) private operators, and private school personnel across Alberta, Canada. The purpose of these surveys was to consolidate information on the relative incidence rats of students with special needs receiving education programs in Alberta. The report's four sections focus on: (1) analyses of results for exceptional students in the school jurisdictions from Grades 1 to 12; (2) reports on components of Early Childhood Services that provide for exceptional children; (3) exceptional students served in private schools; and (4) comparison of results from this 1991-92 survey to those of a 1988-89 survey conducted by Alberta Education. Findings include: 11.3 percent of the student population were identified as students with special needs; over 60 percent of students with special needs were served full-time in regular

The extension of these techniques to systems which include digital computers is not well developed, and there is little consensus among software engineering experts and safety experts on how to analyze such systems. One possible technique is to extend hazard analysis to include digital computer-based systems

Action systems have proven their worth in the design of safety-critical systems. The approach is based on a rm mathematical foundation within which the reasoning about the correctness and behaviour of the system under development is carried out. Hazard analysis is a vital part of the development

he chemical and oil processing industries have operated under self-regulated “best practice, ” including the use of process hazard analysis (PHA) techniques, for several years. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) authored a federal mandate, the Process Safety Management

TIFY ENVIRONMEN TALT,Y CRIT ICAL SYST EMS A primary goal of the environmental hazard analysis (EHA) process is the identification of environmentally critical systems. An environmentally critical system is one which poses a reasonable

This paper investigates the nature of hazard analysis reuse over two case studies. Initially reuse in an existing safety argument is described. Argument structures within the hazard analysis are identified and the amount of verbatim reuse examined. A second study is concerned with how reuse

The seismic hazard analysis is concerned with getting an estimate of the strong-motion parameters at a site for the purpose of earthquake resistant design or seismic safety assessment. For generalized applications, seismic hazard analysis can also be used to prepare macro or micro zoning maps

Developments in seismic hazard analysis over the last few decades are overviewed, and a perspective is presented on current issues and new developments. Over the last 30 years, methods and data have been refined, but our overall understanding of seismic hazards in most regions, as applied
