Design patterns capture named solutions to recurring challenges in development work. With an appropriate, non-restrictive tool support, design patterns could also improve the documentation value of models in model-driven development. This paper extends the design pattern modeling approach of UML Automation Profile with safety-related information and suggests the use of patterns in models to document safety aspects. The modeling concepts are tool supported. In the paper, the concepts are used
