Features: This book systematically introduces the basic concepts, research objects, and fundamental content of safety systems engineering. It combines practical examples to explain in an accessible manner the commonly used analytical methods in safety systems, categorized into qualitative and quantitative approaches. These methods include System Hazard Precautionary Analysis (PHA), Safety Checklists (SCL), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Event Tree Analysis (ETA), Operability Studies, the DOW Chemical Company's Fire and Explosion Index Method, and the MOND Fire and Explosion Toxicity Indicator Method. Building on this foundation, it discusses the identification and evaluation of system hazard sources in conjunction with the risk assessment procedures of system safety evaluation and occupational health and safety management systems. Through this study, readers will be able to apply systems engineering thinking and methods to analyze and evaluate unsafe factors in production processes, implement targeted safety measures, and reduce the probability of accidents. This book can serve as an educational and training textbook for students majoring in safety engineering at colleges and universities, as well as for safety management and technical personnel in production and operation units. It can also be referenced by professionals in related fields.
