TLDR
It is suggested that more fundamental research and cross-talk across several academic disciplines must be supported and incentivized for tackling the multi-disciplinary issues of accident causation and system safety, and two ideas that are emerging as foundational in the literature on system safety and accident causation are discussed, namely that system safety is a “control problem” and that it requires a system theoretic approach to be dealt with.About:

On The Quantitative Definition of Risk
Stanley Kaplan,B. John Garrick +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative definition of risk is suggested in terms of the idea of a "set of triplets" and extended to include uncertainty and completeness, and the use of Bayes' theorem is described in this connection.
