Notes on Society History

Pathfinders of System Safety

Abstract

One of the traditional functions of a professional organization such as ours is to provide due recognition and honor to those who have made a significant contribution to the goals of the organization. The International System Safety Society (ISSS) has pursued this practice for many years, with various specified annual awards defined in our operating manual (OM). At the Society’s Executive Council (EC) meeting on August 28, 2015, a new honorary award was approved: System Safety Pathfinder.
