摘要:Safety is an essential ethical requirement in engineering design. Strategies for
safe design are used not only to reduce estimated probabilities of injuries but also to cope
with hazards and eventualities that cannot be assigned meaningful probabilities. The notion
of safe design has important ethical dimensions, such as that of determining the
responsibility that a designer has for future uses (and misuses) of the designed object.
