Area II. Topic D. Data Analysis and Applied Statistics
Introduction
"Safety professionals have used statistics and statistical concepts such as safety sampling, safe-T-scores, and control charts, for many years but these and other techniques have never become an integral part of most safety systems.... In recent years the concepts of statistical process control (SPO) have become popular in American management.... Today SPC is used in all areas of business for problem identification, problem solving, and for almost everything." — Techniques of Safety Management : A Systems Approach, Dan Petersen, ASSE Pub.
