System Safety Engineering

Abstract

This report provides guidance for identifying and evaluating hazards associated with systems being tested by U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (TECOM). The purpose of this TOP is to provide uniform requirements and criteria for performing system safety analysis during the course of testing materiel. Each test program must be designed to ensure that pertinent safety specifications and criteria are verified and to identify unknown hazards or procedures which may have been designed into the systems. Testing will provide determination or assessment of personnel and equipment hazards in the system and associated operation and maintenance hazards. Pertinent data from all tests will be used to provide a basis for evaluating safety and health characteristics. Specific safety tests will be performed on critical devices or components to determine the nature and extent of hazards presented by the materiel. Keywords: Fault tree analysis; Probability; Safety assessment report; System hazard analysis; System/subsystem.
