• Conclusion
Observation: an evolving society with respect to Safety and
Security – some difficult “how to” questions that need
answers within contemporary society – Challenges:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
How safe is safe enough?
How secure is secure enough?
How to define risk acceptability criteria?
How to include economic assessments?
How to deal with horror scenarios?
How to include moral aspects in risk assessments?
How to increase transparency?
How to use dynamic risk assessment techniques in industrial
practice?
• How to advance academic knowledge regarding security?
• How to integrate physical security and cyber security?
• How to make safety and security part of academic
education?

• Conclusion
Approach of the LDE Centre for Safety and Security
5 Themes of interest:
-
Industrial safety and security science
Cyber security science
Nature-related safety and security science
Counter-terrorism security science
Health-care related safety and security science
Via ‘RISK’:
Via three domains:
•
•
•
•
• Objective-observable domain
• Human intelligence domain
• Perceptual domain
 Transdisciplinary solutions
Respect and Result
Innovation
Solid and strong collaboration
Knowledge and know-how

• Conclusion
Re-inventing safety and security – Two “Safety
Revolutions” thus far
A Third Safety Revolution is needed
“Business as usual” regarding dealing with safety and safety
improvements since the second safety revolution (1960’s onwards)
However: further observations:
•
•
•
•
Adaptation to the needs of current society and societal expectations (e.g.
transparency, moral aspects and ethics)
Changing world: new challenges (a.o. Security, social media, and big data)
Still too many incidents and accidents – industry can really be more excellent
Cooperation: companies are still too much “safety-islands” instead of “safety
clusters”
Too many of the ‘old recipes’ are being used and re-used in safety!
Current thinking, mental models, technological approaches and
solutions, safety implementations and ways to improve safety DO
NOT SUFFICE to answer these questions and to revolutionize safety
and make it much, much safer in a realistic way!
A Third Safety Revolution:
The ‘CHESS’ Paradigm
An example: Industrial safety and security
Members from the Triple Helix (Industry, Authorities and Research
institutes) truly wanting to advance the Dutch industry needs to play
‘CHESS’: Put focus on / advance the following:
• Cooperation and Clustering
• High transparency and efficient inspections
• Education, learning and training
• Security development and integration
• Safety innovation and dynamic risk assessment

• Conclusion
Conclusion
• The LDE Centre for Safety and Security becomes a
national and international centre of excellence
within Europe
• If questions regarding safety and security arise in
media, by policy-makers, or by researchers of all
kind, the point of single contact is the LDE Centre
for Safety and Security
• “The whole is more than the sum of its parts”
(Aristotle, 4th Century B.C.)
