Safety Dynamics

Abstract

In this chapter, system dynamics is applied to a socio-technical system in the chemical industry. The objective is to develop a dynamic model of the industrial system, which formalizes the causal interdependencies between the factors that define the safety conditions for that system. A systemic approach is applied to the case study of an chemical storage facility. The implementation, which is supported by Vensim® software, makes it possible to include the human, technical and organizational factors that all contribute to safety management (Bouloiz et al. 2013).
