Abstract


This paper presents a collaborative research project with an automotive company aimed at implementing positive risk balance in mining environments. The study focuses on utilizing established standards such as ISO 26262, SOTIF ISO 21448 and ISO TS 5083 to develop an optimal risk assessment framework for our specific use case. The research emphasizes the importance of achieving a positive risk balance and its potential to bring significant safety improvements to the mining industry. The paper outlines the methodology employed to implement the risk assessment framework, including the utilization of ISO 26262, SOTIF ISO 21448, and ISO TS 5083 as guiding principles. The collaborative nature of the research ensures that insights and expertise from both industry and standards bodies are incorporated into the development process. Additionally, the paper proposes a verification strategy to assess the effectiveness of the implemented risk acceptance framework. The results of the research demonstrate the significant positive impact of achieving a positive risk balance in mining environments. The findings surpass traditional outcomes, showcasing the potential for a substantial safety boost in the mining industry. Overall, this paper highlights the importance of collaboration with industry experts and the application of established standards in the pursuit of positive risk balance. The research findings contribute to advancing safety practices in mining environments and provide insights for future implementations of positive risk balance in various industries.
