Challenges for future of safety research
conference paper
In this paper I give my perspective on the main challenges for future safety research. Talking about the future, it is important to note that the concept “safety” always has a time dimension. It is regarded as ‘safe’ when there is the (justified) expectation that no accidents or incidents will happen in the foreseeable future. Safety and future are therefore an intrinsically linked combination. The time dimensions of safety are likely to be the reason that more dynamic definitions of safety have recently come to the forefront.
