  1. Hazard Identification SOFTWARE PROJECT MANAGEMENT

  2. Systematic Processes

  3. What Constitutes a Hazard? A real or potential condition that, when activated, can transform into a series of interrelated events that result in damage to equipment or property and or injury to people.

  4. Safety Managers View • Hazard • An implied threat or danger, a potential condition waiting to become a loss • Stimulus • Required to initiate action from potential to kinetic • May be a: • Component out of tolerance • Maintenance failure • Operator failure • Any combination of other events and conditions

  5. When Do We Look for Hazards? • The 5 Common Phases of a Systems Life Cycle • Conceptual - Research • Design (Validation & Verification) • Development (Full-scale engineering & production) • Operational Deployment • Termination & Disposal

  6. Primary Objective • The first major undertakings of a systematic safety effort must be to identify, analyze and control hazards • Review operational goals, objectives & constraints – “Before the fact” process • Resources (people, time & money) must be considered • Preliminary Hazard List (PHL) developed by experts from multiple areas of expertise

  7. Hazard Severity • A key factor in establishing a common understanding of a safety programs goal • MIL-STD 882 suggests four categories • Cat 1: Catastrophic • Cat 2: Critical • Cat 3: Marginal • Cat 4: Negligible

  8. Category Definitions • Catastrophic • Death or total system loss • Critical • Severe injury, illness or major system damage • Marginal • Minor Injury or system damage • Negligible • Less than minor injury or system damage

  9. Hazard Analysis Methods • Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA) • Systematic look at hardware piece by piece • Review of how each component could fail • Considers how a failure effects other components, sub-systems and systems as a whole • Risk assessment accomplished (severity & probability) • Risk Assessment Code (RAC) assigned

  10. Hazard Analysis Methods • Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) • Detailed review of a specific undesirable event • Deductive in nature • Top-down effort • Normally reserved for critical failures or mishaps • May be qualitative or quantitative

  11. Hazard Analysis Methods • Operating Hazard Analysis (OHA) • Also known as Operating & Support Hazard Analysis (O&SHA) • “What if” tool brings user into the loop • Integrates people and procedures into the system • Diagrams the flow or sequence of events • Project Evaluation Tree (PET) may be used for OHA accomplishment • Systematic evaluation of man, machine, & procedures
