A method to incorporate uncertainty and degree of compliance in safety goals
Description
We propose a method for the construction of quantitative regulatory safety goals that are compatible with current risk assessment and uncertainty evaluation techniques. The concept of 'degree of compliance' is introduced in order to reflect the vagueness inevitably attached to any reasonable notion of 'safety' underlying a safety goal. The logical and general procedure for comparing risk assessment with safety goal produces data in a convenient and transparent format designed to facilitate regulatory decision making.
