The Safety Continuum
From Dry-Run to Digital Twins: A Guide to Building Safer Systems
Book One - Mechanics of Safety
This guidebook is the first in a series that aims to foster empathy among those responsible for operating complex systems. We present a Safety Continuum that allows readers to explore the potential solutions they can implement to make their day-to-day work safer and more predictable. While we, as an industry, have invested enormous effort into system uptime and availability, we have often neglected safety, the actual experience of humans holding everything together at 3AM, working with brittle and dangerous tools. This initial volume, and the ones that follow, work towards making systems safety a primary consideration. Now is the best time in computing history for operators to design their own fate.
