Integrating Information Technologies Safety Into Occupational and Environmental Safety Management Systems
1CLARALUZ LLC, St. Augustine, Florida; IBM Corporation, Armonk, New York (Dr Sepúlveda).
Objective:
To discuss the need for the inclusion of decision-support software safety in workplace safety management systems.
Methods:
Review of software safety systems, the socio-technical model of Information Technologies safety and sources of decision-support software safety risk.
Results:
Not applicable to a commentary viewpoint article.
Conclusions:
There are no regulatory safety standards for decision-support software as there are for software that is deemed a medical device. Establishing the safety of this software therefore becomes the responsibility of the industry and the users. Occupational and environmental professionals can help close this gap by applying safety management system processes to these digital tools.
