Standardized Procedure for System Safety Input to the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC).

Abstract

Currently, there are no standardized key words for system safety reports being submitted to the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC). Retrieval of this data without key words requires DTIC to conduct extensive text searches to locate specific hazard analyses or other system safety reports. This procedure creates considerable time delays in obtaining historical data and generates excessive costs. To reduce costs and time, this technical report has been prepared to standardize key words and phrases for inputting system safety related data to DTIC. System Safety is defined by MIL-STD-882B, System Safety Program Requirements, as the application of engineering and management principles, criteria, and techniques to optimize safety within the constraints of operational effectiveness, time, and cost throughout all phases of the system life cycle. A system is a composite, at any level of complexity, of personnel, procedures, materials, tools, equipment, facilities, and software. The elements of this composite entity are used together in the intended operational support environment to perform a given task or achieve a specific production, support, or mission requirement.
