This workshop gives a short but comprehensive introduction to the processes and methodologies
associated with the system safety of software-intensive safety-critical systems. Software Safety
provides confidence that the safety-critical (and mission-critical) system operates with acceptable risk to
personnel, equipment and the environment.
?
The system safety activity is a fundamental element of the system design process and one that
continues to present significant challenges with respect to system complexity, system design,
maintenance and operations. This places the burden on system safety professionals to quickly develop
in-depth knowledge of various system safety activities, analysis, methodologies and techniques.
System safety methodology revolves around analyzing the systems, identifying hazards, categorizing and
identifying safety-criticality of software, providing risk assessments, recommending actions and
mitigations, and participating in life-cycle reviews to ensure an acceptable level of safety.
In an interactive workshop, participants will use a commercially available hazard tracking system to
collaborate with their functional teams to apply various standard hazard analyses techniques within a
real-life corporate simulated environment.
