[SystemSafety] Component Reliability and System Safety

[Martyn Thomas]

And don't forget that in the UK you have a duty under criminal law (HSWA
1974 <https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1974/37>) to ensure that your
work does not expose anyone to risks to their health and safety. If
there is an accident and you seek to rely on a claim that the risks have
been reduced so far as is reasonably practicable, then the burden of
proof falls on you and it will require evidence that you have evaluated
ways in which the risks could have been further reduced and that you
have shown that the costs would be grossly disproportionate to the
benefits.

If I were using a standard, or following guidance, and wish to use evidence of the activities to support a safety claim, I would also need to justify why use of that standard or guidance is appropriate in the context.
