Kenexis Functional Safety Podcast

“Fail safe” is a common term—and it sounds great.  Who wouldn’t want things to fail safe?  But here’s the thing: can we ever really guarantee that?  In today’s episode, we’re discussing section 10.3.2, bullets 15 – 18 and what “fail safe” really means, why it’s not always as foolproof as it sounds, and what that means in the real world.
