This can make meeting extremely low total mitigated event likelihood targets (such as 1x10-5 or 1x10-6) exceedingl Using the STAMP Systems-Based Approach to Identify Hazards for the Transient Operating State STAMP ( Systems Theoretic Accident Model and Processes ) is a relatively new accident causality model based on systems theory. It draws its main tenets from systems thinking that (1) accidents can happen even when there has been no failure, (2) that interactions between components of the system create emergent properties that can lead to failure, and (3) it treats accidents as a control problem rather than a failure problem.
