abstract="The paper discusses the role of safety factors in pressure equipment and recommends that there are three main considerations to be taken into account as follows: (a) Safety factors for pressure equipment should not only give confidence but they also demonstrate the level of confidence. (b) Safety factors need to compensate for technological and human shortfall. (c) Safety factors should be related to the hazard of the equipment.<p />",
