safe systems approach

The Safe Systems Approach is a strategy for improving safety in transportation and other fields by recognizing that accidents are inevitable, and it aims to minimize their consequences. It focuses on designing systems with multiple layers of protection, including safer road designs, vehicle technology, and driver behavior, to reduce the likelihood of incidents and their severity. This approach encourages shared responsibility among government, organizations, and individuals, promoting a culture of safety that prioritizes human life and wellbeing. By considering how various elements interact, it creates a more resilient system that can better absorb and recover from mistakes.
