This tutorial supports the ISSC37 theme regarding ?training for both beginners to learn to utilize system safety methodology in their Journey to Excellence and for those more experienced safety professionals who want to discuss, explore and incorporate how others are effectively utilizing system safety in their on-going Journey to Excellence? by focusing on understanding and employing various system safety evaluation methodologies.
Various system safety processes such as ISO-26262, MIL-STD-882E, and ARP-4761 are compared highlighting how each looks at identifying hazards, assessing risk, and developing safety critical requirements to prevent or manage potential hazardous situations. In addition, requirements development methodologies such as System Element Fault Analysis (SEFA, used within GM?s System Safety Process) and STPA from MIT will be explored. As in past tutorials by these presenters, this tutorial uses a high-voltage automotive propulsion system as the example to illustrate how to identify potential hazards and then goes on to demonstrate how to determine and define associate safety requirements.
The tutorial includes interactive sessions for attendees to participate in discussions and in activities that enable the attendees to use real world examples (via the high-voltage propulsion system framework) in a manner that illustrates the above-mentioned concepts and approaches.
The tutorial concludes with a question and answer session related to system safety processes and methodologies presented.
