? With the increasing complexity of modern systems, traditional approaches to safety (most of which were created 50-70 years ago) are losing effectiveness and leading to avoidable losses. In this class, you will learn about a new approach based on systems theory and systems thinking. This approach a...
The tutorial provides an overview of the U.S. nuclear weapon system safety design process and the approach taken to assess and manage system safety throughout the weapon lifecycle. Key considerations include the emergence of stringent safety requirements, the simplifying concept of assured safety im...

We typically inherit?programs and processes that have been in place for years, developed?nuances, and workarounds. Based on some of the most commonly seem violations and findings from Oc...
Undergraduate engineering degree programs in the United States as well as some other countries are accredited with reference to general criteria (which must be met by programs in all engineering disciplines) and program-specific criteria (which apply to a single engineering discipline (e.g., chemica...
A "thread analysis" is a method to ensure identified hazards are analyzed and controlled. Hazards analysis can be?intimating ? a mistake can literally be a life-or-death issue. What happens if a hazard is missed? What happens if a?hazard is mistakenly characterized? What happens if a hazard isn't ad...
This tutorial teaches fundamentals of system safety management with practical applications of establishing and maintaining a system safety department within an organization, and the use of standard recognized system safety tools to plan projects. Use of Preliminary Hazard Lists, Work Breakdown Struc...
? Safety and Security are two characteristics that are required in many systems simultaneously, such as in critical infrastructure like air navigation or public transport. The need for state-of-the-art security will continue to increase in the light of the continuously increasing number of cyber-att...
The course is based on the principles and methodologies presented in the?Redbook, "The Guidelines for Hazard Evaluation Procedures", 3rd Edition?for using the What-If/Checklist hazards analysis method. The Redbook is a?standard industry reference for hazard evaluation procedures published by?the Cen...
This tutorial will introduce you to the concept of safety cases. Safety cases are structured arguments that support the claim that a system is safe to be used for a given application in a given environment. Several standards require the production of such safety cases as a prerequisite for ap...
