Abstract
Safety-critical systems are influencing human life everywhere. During the development of these safety-critical systems the detection, analysis and avoidance of technical risks is essential. While most methods only consider possible failures and faults of a system itself, here a systemic and basic applicable technique is presented, to find out critical and problematic humanmachine interactions during the operation of a system. The technique is based on a state-interaction matrix, carefully filled out and afterwards automatically evaluated.
