Notes on Society History

The Early Dissemination of System Safety Concepts and Techniques

Abstract

Members of the International System Safety Society (ISSS) are familiar with the excellent articles, papers and updates published in this Journal, and with the annual ISSS Conferences/Symposia held each summer at various locations in the U.S. and Canada. These serve as the primary means of peer exchange of current visions and advancements specifically related to the field of system safety. They provide a treasure of research, concepts and practical experience relating to system safety, all of which are available on CD for purchase from the ISSS headquarters. In addition, the Internet provides innumerable opportunities to gain indepth information on almost any system safety-related subject of interest. However, it wasn’t always this easy.
