ABSTRACT
From the International Space Station to extreme environments on Earth, people are risking their lives every day to enhance scientific progress and perform their work. To do so, they work in very dangerous environments under extreme working conditions that seriously affect their safety and performance. Safety is defined in the Oxford Dictionary as “the condition of being protected from or unlikely to cause danger, risk, or injury” (Oxford Dictionary 2015). “Safety first”—it is well known that safety is the most important factor that is always given top priority in every project, especially in recent decades. In addressing particularly dangerous contexts, such as space missions, safety requirements need even more attention. These requirements need to be considered in the design approach of the overall system structure and when testing the system with dedicated simulations.
