Abstract

“Safer than Safe Enough” – Australia leads the way?

This letter briefly talks about how Australian Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) legislation provides a framework for “Safer than Safe Enough” from a different engineering and legislative perspective.

He raised some important issues concerning the future of the International System Safety Society (ISSS) and shared other thoughts regarding funding, vision and the relevance of the Society.
