Description
Introduction
Hello everyone and welcome to the Safety Artisan; home of safety engineering training. I’m Simon and today we're going to be carrying on with our series on Mil. Standard 882E system safety engineering.
Operating & Support Hazard Analysis
Today, we're going to be moving on to the subject of operating and support hazard analysis. This is, as it says, task 206 under the standard. Operating and support hazard analysis, I'll just call it O&S or OSHA (also O&SHA) for short. Unfortunately, that will confuse people if I call OSHA. Let's call it O&S.
Topics for this Session
The purpose of O&S hazard analysis is to identify and assess hazards introduced by those activities and procedures and to evaluate the adequacy of O&S procedures, processes, equipment, facilities, etc, to mitigate risks that have been already identified. A twofold task but a very big task. And as we'll see, we've got lots of slides today on task description, and reporting, contracting, and commentary. As always, I present the full text as is of the task, which is copyright-free, but I'm only going to talk about the things that are important. So, we're not going to go through every little clause of the standard that would be pointless.
O&S Hazard Analysis (T206)
Let's get started with the purpose. As we've already said, it’s to identify and assess those hazards which are introduced by operational and support activities and procedures and evaluate their adequacy. So, we're looking at operating the system, whatever it may be. This is a military standard, so we assume a military system, but not all military systems are weapon systems by any means. Not all are physical systems. So, there may be inventory management systems, management information systems, all kinds of stuff. So, does operating those systems and just supporting them, maintaining them, resupplying them, disposing of them, etc. Does that create any hazards or introduce any hazards? And how do we mitigate? That's the purpose of the task.

Hi, I'm Simon Di Nucci, and I have spent 25+ years as a system safety engineer. I have always sought to pass on my expertise to others.
I was part of the team that taught the official safety engineering courses to all UK Ministry of Defence staff. I then went on to create bespoke safety courses for several different clients, including the UK Military Aviation Authority. I'm now teaching safety online, to anyone who wants to do Safety, Just Right.
To do this, I have drawn on my wide and deep experience in safety consulting and engineering. Much of my career has been working for governments or consulting to the public sector on Australian, UK, US, and European programs.
I am a Fellow of Engineers Australia (FIE(Aust)) and on the National Engineering Register, so studying my courses will count for EA CPD. I have an MSc in Safety-Critical Systems Engineering.
