It looks like parabellum might have started this thread with a view to a problem in Australia. As a general comment on safety issues in Australia, there are new Work Health & Safety Bills coming in 2012/2013 which will force a change in the Australian approach to safety analysis.
It will extend from analytically based (like the rest of the world) to include a "common law" basis and Justice Gibbs' famous dictum on negligence. As a result, the familiar ALARP, target levels of risk or safety and/or supporting Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) can no longer stand up on their own when something Goes Wrong and matters go to court - where post event common law scrutiny will be applied.
For those of you in the risk / liability / safety business in the Antipodes, there is a "Risk and Liability Management" course, run for Engineers Australia, by Richard Robinson of R2A. I have just finished attending it in Perth. I and most of the attendees were surprised at the extent of the change that the new Work Health & Safety Bills will bring. I'm suggesting here that if you're in the risk / liability / safety business, you look at the course. It is being run at least through 2012 at various locations.
On a positive note, more weight will be put on considering existing good practice, so this thread is a great start.
