This module aims to cover the analysis and assessment phase of the system safety engineering life-cycle for a proposed product or service. It does so by considering the inputs to this phase, the qualitative and quantitative analysis techinques that can be employed within this phase and the outputs from this phase in terms of evidence into the safety case regime. It also considers the changing assessment requirements as more integrated and complex systems are developed.
Explain the role of system safety assessment throughout the safety lifecycle
Correctly apply a range of system safety assessment techniques such as FMEA, FTA, RBD, Markov and understand their strengths and limitations.
Select appropriate analysis techniques for particular situations
Assess the implications of the results of system safety analysis
Critically evaluate performance of system safety assessment by others
