​DESCRIPTION
​This is a very thorough, very practical system safety course providing excellent in-depth coverage of topics such as SSMP, SSPP (2 1/2 hours), PHL, PHA, SSHA, SHA, O&SHA (2 hours), FHA, PSSA, SSA, CCA (ZSA, PRA, CMA), MEL, software safety, MIL-STD-882, SAE ARP4761, IEC 61508, and DEF STAN 00-56 (HCRQ has extensive experience with all of these standards).  

Want to know what's good and what's wrong/missing with MIL-STD-882E?  Our history goes back to 882B including the flaws and omissions along the way.

Want to know what's good and what's wrong/missing with SAE ARP4761?


Insight into System Safety is based on over 31 years of experience planning, and executing System Safety Programs for all types of safety-related systems.

One of the benefits of this course is that it covers:

  • When to reject safety analyses, 
  • When to reject supplier's safety management, 
  • When to reject supplier's safety engineers.  

This is of particular interest to organizations such as:
​
  • Army, 
  • Navy, 
  • Air Force, 
  • FAA, 
  • FRA, 
  • FDA, 
  • NASA, 
  • and ... MANY OTHERS
Picture
​What criteria should be applied to determine whether to accept or reject fault tree analyses?  
There are 
28 attributes to look for 
(16 of which are absolutely mandatory).  
​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, FDA, FRA, DOD, DND, MOD, NASA), clients, auditors, or system integrators, and are a reviewer of contract deliverables, 
you should know this.  This checklist is included in this course.  Click here if you need a copy of this list now.

This intensive course goes far beyond normal expectations.


HCRQ's most recent attendees include General Dynamics, IMP Aerospace,  U.S. Air Force, NASA, Metrolink (taught on site), and BNSF.  Click here to see the long list of organizations we have taught.
