A safety-critical system is designed to lose less than one life per billion (10 9) hours of operation. [7] [8] Typical design methods include probabilistic risk assessment, a method that combines failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) with fault tree analysis. Safety-critical systems are increasingly computer -based.
