Effective mitigation measures, which have been introduced in part 7.4.4.8 of the second edition of the IEC 61508 standard, are crucial to efficient safety planning — but to construct an effective mitigation strategy, we first need to understand its precise definition in relevant safety standards and what the use of mitigations means for its required workload. In this episode Dr. Oscar Slotosch shares his experience with successful mitigation strategies, discusses Validas’s automated approach to mitigation planning, and explains what effective mitigation really means in practice.
