System Safety Risk Assessment Manual

Abstract

This guide was prepared to assist system safety managers in making informed risk management decisions. Additional guidance is available from command system safety instructions and handbooks. The information is drawn from MIL-STD-882B, Navy Safety School Course Material, and other information sources. Successfully managing safety risk is basic to a successful system safety program. Over the years, several tools to manage safety risk have evolved. This guide compiles several of the more common ways of defining safety risk. When managing several systems (e.g., command system safety manager) which are competing for resources, the classical MIL-STD-882B approach is not always fully effective. Therefore, a new management concept referred to as relative worth index and a safety performance baseline are introduced. Keywords: Aviation safety; F/A-18 Aircraft, A-7 Aircraft, Rotary wing aircraft, Tactical aircraft, Baseline studies.
