System Safety Engineering Process
The System Safety Engineering Process - what it is and how to do it.
This is the full-length (50-minute) session on the System Safety Process, which is called up in the general requirements of Mil-Std-882E. I cover the Applicability of Mil-Std-882E tasks, the General Requirements, the Process with eight elements, and the Application of process theory to the real world.
You Will Learn to:
- Know the system safety process iaw Mil-Std-882E;
- List and order the eight elements;
- Understand how they are applied;
- Skilfully apply system safety using realistic processes; and
- Feel more confident dealing with this and other standards.

System Safety Process
Hi, everyone, and welcome to the Safety Artisan. I'm Simon, your host. Today I'm going to be using my experience with System Safety Engineering to talk you through the process that we need to follow to achieve success. Because to use a corny saying, ‘Safety doesn't happen by accident’. Safety is what we call an emergent property. And to get it, we need to decide what we mean by safety, decide what our goals are, and then work out how we're going to get there. It's a planned systematic activity. Especially if we're going to deal with very complex projects or situations. Times where there is a requirement to make that understanding and that planning explicit. Where the requirement becomes the difference between success and failure. Anyway, that's enough of that. Let's get on and look at the session.
Military Standard 882E, Section 4 General Requirements
Today we're talking about System Safety Process. To help us do that, we're going to be looking at a particular standard - the general requirements of that standard. And those are from Section Four of Military Standard 882E. But don't get hung up on which standard it is. That's not the point here. It's a means to an end. I'll talk about other standards and how we perform system safety engineering in different domains.
Learning Objectives
Our learning objectives for today are here. In this session, you will learn, or you'll know, the system safety process in accordance with that Mil. Standard. You will be able to list and order the eight elements of the process. You will understand how to apply the eight elements. And you will be able to apply system safety with some skill using realistic processes. We're going to spend quite a bit of time talking about how it's actually done vs. how it appears on a sheet of paper. Also known as how it appears written in a standard. So, we're going to talk about doing it in the real world. At the end of all that, you will be able to feel more confident dealing with multiple different standards.
The focus is not on this military standard, but on understanding the process. The fundamentals of what we're trying to achieve and why. Then you will be able to extrapolate those principles to other standards. And that should help you to understand whatever it is you're dealing with. It doesn't have to be Mil. Standard 882E.
Contents of this Session
We've got four sets of contents in the session. First of all, I'm going to talk about the applicability of Military Standard 882E. From the standard itself and the tasks (you'll see why that's important) to understanding what you're supposed to do. Then other standards later on. I'm going to talk about those general requirements that the standard places on us to do the work. A big part of that is looking at a process following the eight elements. And finally, we will apply that theory of how the process should work to the real world. And that will include learning some real-world lessons. You should find these useful for all standards and all circumstances.
So, it just remains for me to say thank you very much for listening. You can find a free pdf of the System Safety Engineering Standard, Mil-Std-882E, here.
