    This introduction covers three topics:

    • My expertise in this subject and in teaching safety;

    • The benefits of the course, namely that you will:

      1. Gain knowledge about system safety risk analysis;

      2. Be able to create and tailor an effective and efficient risk analysis program; and

      3. Feel confident with the tools to analyze the risks of almost any system.

    • How to get further learning resources (at the end of the course). 

Requirements

  • Some basic knowledge of risk analysis will be useful, but is not essential.

Description

N.B. This course was formerly known as System Safety Risk Assessment Programs (SSRAP), which was an accurate description, but a bit unwieldy as a title!

So what are the BENEFITS of this course?

First, you will learn about basic concepts, system safety, what it is, and what it does. You will know how to apply a risk analysis program to a very complex system and how to manage that complexity.  You will be able to tackle complex problems that you were not able to do before.

Second, you will be able to take the elements of a risk analysis program, the different tasks, and select the right tasks that you need to put together in a program to suit your application. Whatever it might be, you might: have a full, high-risk bespoke development system; be taking a commercial system off the shelf and doing something new with it; or be taking a product and using it in a new environment.  You'll know how to tailor your risk analysis program to what needs to be analyzed and to meet your legal and regulatory requirements. And once you've learned how to do this, you can apply it to almost any system.

Third, you will feel confident doing this because, rather than just reading a standard and not knowing whether you've understood it correctly, I will be there interpreting some of the terminology, applying my experience, and showing you how you can get good results and avoid some of the pitfalls.

Topics for this Course:

  • Module 1 – Recap: Risk Basics. A Common Understanding of Risk

  • Module 2 – System Safety Risk Analysis. How do we deal with real-world complexity?

  • Module 3 – Understanding Your Standard. Am I Doing the Right Thing, and am I Doing it Right?

  • Module 4 – Designing Your Program.  A Systematic, Effective Approach that isn’t Wasteful

  • Module 5 – More Resources. How to get more Resources and Help
