Many celebrated accidents involve latent
hazard, not disclosed in time.
hazard disclosure requires investment in sensors and
indicators.
The requirements documents should include specification of all expected
hazards.
The design should include means (safety add-ons) to detect all safety-critical components.
$ The investment in safety add-ons might be too high, making it impractical to include in the requirements.
Adding sensors and indicator introduce
secondary risks, due to
complexity.
The design should include a means, such as the
Situation analyzer, to enable indirect
hazard detection.
