Rasmussen’s Risk Management Framework (RMF; Rasmussen, 1997) is arguably the most popular model of safety and risk within Ergonomics and Human Factors (EHF). However, the RMF was developed almost thirty years ago and there are questions regarding its suitability for contemporary systems and problems. In this presentation we outline and demonstrate a revised and extended RMF for contemporary sociotechnical systems.
