Measures


Measures as the Engine of Practical Safety

Measures are a crucial element in the Piri framework because they represent the concrete actions that translate regulatory knowledge into real-world safety outcomes. While regulations define expectations and incidents reveal vulnerabilities, it is the measures that operationalize this knowledge and ensure that organizations respond effectively, consistently, and traceably. Measures form the practical bridge between understanding a risk and controlling it: they document how safeguards are implemented, how responsibilities are assigned, and how compliance is maintained across changing environments.

By capturing measures in a structured, knowledge-driven format, the Piri framework enables organizations to show not only what must be done, but how, why, and under which conditions these actions matter. This supports reliable decision-making, strengthens accountability, and ensures that safety-critical practices can be adapted, audited, and improved over time. In this way, measures become a stable foundation for continuous regulatory assurance—living components of a system that grows smarter with every application.
