Draft:Safety and Reliability Society



<<stripped back to bare bones draft content from the previous draft following negative submission reviews and discussion and issues in meeting the criteria for an article. The citations remains the same though now a smaller list>>


The Safety and Reliability Society (SaRS), founded in 1980, is a non-profit professional organisation for safety, reliability and risk management practitioners and is a recognised pathway to registration with the UK Engineering Council[1]. It is a registered charity and a limited company by guarantee registered in England and Wales.

The SaRS supports the development and recognition of engineers, scientists and practitioners working in the field of safety and reliability, providing networking opportunities and CPD activities with branch technical seminars and webinars and disseminates knowledge about safety, reliability and related fields to raise awareness and promote discussion with industry, government and society at large. Its journal, Safety and Reliability, publishes content peer reviewed by academia and industry [2].

The organisation has contributed to the development of standards and guides and shares its expertise with other bodies[3], participates in cross-industry groups[4] and has selected outputs recommended as example practices, such as the SaRS risk management series which is referenced as a source for further reading on the subject of Risk Tools in the Engineering Council guidance on risk[5].
