How to: Preliminary Hazard Analysis (Mil-Std-882E)
What you'll learn
- Recognize Task 202 Purpose and Task Description
- Understand Task 202 Recording, Scope & Contracting
- Understand the Mil-Std-882E Risk Assessment Process, Using Tables I, II & III
- Understand Risk Mitigation, with the Mitigation Order of Preference
Requirements
- No prior experience needed, although you will benefit from understanding basic concepts of System Safety.
Description
Preliminary Hazard Analysis
Now we'll talk about Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA). This is Task 202 in Military Standard 882E, which is a system safety engineering standard. It's very widely used mostly on military equipment, but it does turn up elsewhere. This standard is of wide interest to people and Task 202 is the second of the analysis tasks. It's one of the first things that you will do on a systems safety program and therefore one of the most informative. This session forms part of a series of lessons that I'm doing on Mil-Std-882E.
Topics for This Session
What are we going to cover in this session? Quite a lot! The purpose of the task, a task description, recording, and scope. How we do risk assessments against Tables 1, 2, and 3. It is severity, likelihood, and the overall risk matrix. We will talk about all three, about risk mitigation and using the order of preference for risk mitigation, a little bit of contracting, and then a short commentary from myself. In fact, I’m providing commentary all the way through. So, let's crack on!
Task 202 Purpose
The purpose of Task 202, as it says, is to perform and document a preliminary hazard analysis, or PHA
for short, to identify hazards, assess the initial risks, and identify potential mitigation measures. We're going to talk about all of that.

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.
