This document outlines a standard practice for conducting system safety. The system safetypractice as defined herein provides a consistent means of evaluating identified risks. Mishap riskmust be identified, evaluated, and mitigated to a level as low as reasonably practicable. Themishap risk must be accepted by the appropriate authority and comply with federal (and state,where applicable) laws and regulations, executive orders, treaties, and agreements. Programtrade studies associated with mitigating mishap risk must consider total life cycle cost in anydecision.
This document is intended for use as one of the elements of project solicitation for complexsystems requiring a systematic evaluation of safety hazards and mitigating measures. TheManaging authority may identify, in the solicitation and system specification, specific systemsafety engineering requirements to be met by the Developer. These may include risk assessmentand acceptance criteria, unique classifications and certifications, or mishap reduction needsunique to their program. Additional information in meeting program specific requirements islocated in the Appendixes.
