Hi Doug:
For safety, the issue seems to be reliance on the correct functioning of
devices.
As equipment becomes more and more complex, we are more reliant on the correct
functioning of devices. An example is the modern day airplane. One specific
example is the Air France flight fr
Ted,
I agree with your comments. My concern today is about hazards that
ancestors even one generation ago did not have. While my
original question is mainly about human behavior and not the scale or
proximity of a hazard, we are these days seeing problems that can become
very catastrophic. One cas
Interesting topic, Doug!
I think the first step would be to define overreliance in this context. How
does one determine the appropriate degree of reliance on technology for
safety?

I think it's not safe to generalize. Attitudes and forethought vary so
much among designers. For me, whatever automated safety measures are
provided, there must be 'last chance' protection in hardware, such as
fuses.

Dear Rich,
44 degC causing 1st degree skin burn is new to me and easy to get in touch
with this temperature in daily life. I am looking forward to receiving
your paper and learning this matter in greater depth!
Many thanks & kindest regards,

All,
My question is probably philosophical.
With the advent of Safety rated PLCs, Safety Relays, and other solid
state and programmable safety devices in certified and listed products, are
we at risk of becoming over reliant on automated safety systems. I'm
thinking in terms of IEC 61508, ISO 121
