New guide
May 1st 2004

The Health & Safety Executive has updated its guide aimed at those responsible for safety-related control systems in any industry.

Out of Control: Why control systems go wrong and how to prevent failure (2nd Edition) features a description and analysis of 12 incidents. In these, control system failures caused fatal crushing, amputation, physical trapping, microwave injury, gas releases, acid spillage, listing of a drilling rig and malfunction of a radiation shield.

The guide shows how the incidents could have been prevented by the application of straightforward precautions.

Copies of the guide (11.95) are available from HSE Books, PO Box 1999, Sudbury, Suffolk CO10 2WA (quote HSE ref HSG 238)
