Abstract
AbstractThis chapter considers whether it is possible to visualise safety as a word, a construct, or a concept. It analyses both the instrumental approach of visualising for safety (the use of visual means as a help to make systems safe) and the ontological issue of visualisation of safety (the use of visual means to show what safety is). It is suggested that the answer depends on whether safety is defined as the absence of unacceptable outcomes (Safety-I) or as the presence of acceptable outcomes (Safety-II).
