About this course

Introduces key system safety concepts and practices so that project and engineering managers can integrate system safety activities into an acquisition program.

The course covers the system safety life cycle and how it relates to managing safety risk during acquisition, safety program planning (stakeholders, safety criteria, organisational interfaces and regulatory engagement), the role and development of the safety case, the hazard log, and the particular challenges of complex hardware and software, human error and off-the-shelf components.
