Summary
Practical handbook explaining System-Theoretic Process Analysis through loss identification, control-structure modelling, unsafe control actions and causal scenarios. It develops traceable safety constraints and integrates analysis into engineering, workplace safety and organisational design. Further chapters address assumption-based leading indicators, safety management systems and adoption through interdisciplinary teams and hands-on practice.
