The third edition of the Safety Case Guideline considers how a safety case argument can be used as a tool to positively demonstrate safety due diligence consistent with the model Work Health and Safety (WHS) legislation (Work Safe Australia 2011) and to provide general information concerning the concepts and applications of risk theory to safety case arguments. It provides practical guidance to engineers on preparing and presenting a safety case argument.
