Abstract: This paper examines certain of the key issues with respect to the possible adoption of system safety practices in pipeline management. This examination is preceded by discussions of several topics which provide an overview of the system safety management discipline. First is included a review of the history of system safety since its emergence in the late 40s. Following this is a discussion of the fundamental ideas upon which system safety management practice is founded. Then, there is an analysis of the basic problem of risk assessment and methods which might be employed to perform this function in the gas pipeline industry. Finally, the paper discusses four of the issues considered pertinent to the adoption of system safety practice: achieving sufficient plausibility of risk assessments, estimating the additional engineering-management workload required, development of an adequate database for risk assessment computations, and the achievement of reasonable uniformity in methodological practices throughout the industry.
