Abstract
In current markets efforts for safety analyses and approval increase. Instead of review-based methods, recent publications demand for a shift of safety considerations to early stages and to bridge the gap between designers and safety experts. This paper develops a modelling method which helps to explicit safety knowledge and model safety functions. It unites existing methods of functional and structural modelling and extends the concept of safety functions. The resulting method, thus contributes to the requested shift and helps to bridge the gap between safety experts and product designers.
