How to: Preliminary Hazard Identification (Mil-Std-882E)

Welcome

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Safety Artisan, where you will find instructional materials that are professional, pragmatic, and impartial because we don’t have anything to sell. We don't have an axe to grind. Let's look at what we're doing today: Preliminary Hazard Identification.

We are looking at the first analysis tasks in Mil-Std-882E, which is a systems safety engineering standard from the US government, and it's typically used on military systems, but it does turn up elsewhere.

Topics for this Session

• Task 201 Purpose & Task Description;

• Historical Review;

• Recording Results;

• Contracting; and

• Commentary:

• Historical Data;

• Hazard Checklists; and

• Analysis Techniques.

What we're going to cover is, quoting from the task first of all, we're going to look at the purpose and the task description, where the task talks quite a lot about historical review (I think we've got three slides of that), recording results, putting

stuff in contracts and then I’m adding some commentary of my own.

I will be commenting all the way through, that’s the value add, and that’s why I'm doing this, but then there’s some specific extra information that I think you will find helpful, should you need to implement Task 201. In this session, we've moved up one level from awareness and we are now looking at practice, at being equipped actually to perform safety jobs, to do safety tasks.
