Description
System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) is a relatively new hazard analysis technique based on an extended model of accident causation.
In addition to component failures, STPA assumes that accidents can also be caused by unsafe interactions of system components, none of which may have failed.
This lecture introduces participants to STPA and how it can be used in prevention of safety incidents.
