Aviation System
Safety Course - 3 Day

This course covers the SAE ARP4761 approach to system safety assessment AND MUCH MORE.
Topics covered include Functional Hazard Assessment (FHA),
Preliminary System Safety Assessment (PSSA), System Safety Assessment (SSA),
Common Cause Analysis (CCA), Development Assurance Levels (DALs),
Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMRs), and Minimum Equipment Lists (MELs).

Yawn, boring! Don't make the mistake of closing this web page before checking out the course outline on the right. This course includes a lot more than you would expect (e.g., the elements of system safety that are missing from SAE ARP4761 and plain out WRONG). Piqued your interest?
Practical insight is provided (e.g., how do you prepare for and conduct an FHA?). Also discussed are the difficulties that can be encountered applying safety assessment techniques.
Perhaps you would like to see what brought people from organizations such as Sikorsky Aircraft, Bell Helicopter and FAA to this course.
System safety is a key element of airworthiness. For this reason, when we think of system safety, we think of safety relative to flying the aircraft. There are other types of safety though. There is safety as it applies to the crew and passengers, there is safety as it applies to maintaining the aircraft, there is safety as it applies to the environment, and there is safety as it pertains to health hazards. These additional aspects of safety assessment are discussed as well.
Hmmm. You say you are not interested in airborne systems but in ground-based systems, well if that is the case, we also cover the topics of Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA), Subsystem Hazard Analysis (SSHA), and System Hazard Analysis (SHA) as well! Interested in a critique of PHA/SSHA/SHA versus FHA/PSSA/SSA, just ask!
Hmmm. You say you are interested in the safety ATM systems where EUROCONTROL and EUROCAE standards are applicable. If this is the case, might we recommend our ATM System Safety Course.
Pull the zipper down on PSSA and SSA. What's inside? Fault tree analyses. Do you know the 20 ways that distinguish a "good" fault tree analysis from a "poor" one? In a recent survey most fault tree analysts did not come close to answering this question. If you work for government branches (e.g., FAA, DOD, MOD, and DND), clients, auditors, or system integrators, and are a reviewer of contract deliverables, you should know this! This checklist is included in this course. You won't find this checklist anywhere else in the world!
We are very confident in saying "Our system safety courses are beyond excellent". Take a look at these testimonials.
