We consider the safety problem of piecewise-deterministic Markov processes (PDMP). These are systems that have deterministic dynamics and stochastic jumps, where both the time and the destination of the jumps are stochastic. Specifically, we solve a p-safety problem, where we identify the set of initial states from which the probability to reach designated unsafe states is at most 1 - p. Based on the knowledge of the full generator of the PDMP, we are able to develop a system of partial differential equations describing the connection between unsafe and initial states. We then show that by using the moment method, we can translate the infinite-dimensional optimisation problem searching for the largest set of p-safe states to a finite dimensional polynomial optimisation problem. We have implemented this technique on top of GloptiPoly and show how to apply it to a numerical example.
