Assignment Brief
Human error is often considered as a main contributory factor of accidents. However, concentrating too much on the human rather than the system can wrongly lead to blame. STPA shifts the blame from human and reveal system design constraints leading to unsafe actions.
In this assignment, you will need to assess system safety risks in ground handling operations for liquid hydrogen-powered (LH2) aircraft.
