Integrated Safety Management is a concept that is being actively promoted by the U.S. Department of Energy as a means of assuring safe operation of its facilities. The concept involves the integration of safety precepts into work planning rather than adjusting for safe operations after work activities have already been defined. The system engineering techniques used to design an integrated safety management system for a high consequence research facility are described. An example is given to show how the system design evolved over time.
