There are many examples of safety-critical systems:

Railway systems:

  • Railway signaling systems
  • Automatic train control/stop (ATC/ATS) systems

 

Cars:

  • Air bag system
  • Safety belt
  • Anti-spin systems
  • Anti-brake systems 

Offshore oil and gas industry: 

  • High pressure protection systems onboard an offshore facilitiy may be an example of the latter.

 

Safety-critical systems that include electrical, electronic, or programmable electronic technology are sometimes referred to as E/E/PE safety-related systems (using the very generic term), safety-related electrical control system (SRECS) in relation to machinery, or safety instrumented system (SIS) for safety systems installed in the process industry.
