ASP Domain 2: Safety Programs and Concepts

A safety engineer drafts a hazard identification and mitigation report. It lists each hazard with its associated risk, the functions, items, and materials tied to each hazard, and the recommended mitigation measures. A reviewer finds it still falls short of the minimum reporting content. Which addition is needed?

Show answer and source: MIL-STD-882E, DoD Standard Practice: System Safety (2012)

Answer: C. Recommended requirements for operation, maintenance, sustainment, and disposal

MIL-STD-882E sets minimum report content: hazards and risks, associated functions, items and materials, recommended requirements for operation, maintenance, sustainment, and disposal, and recommended mitigation measures. The draft lacks the lifecycle requirements. Cost-benefit comparisons, personnel qualifications, and incident counts are not part of that minimum list.

On the job

A system safety engineer at a defense contractor reviews a draft hazard report for a new vehicle's fuel system. It covers hazards, risks, associated items and materials, and mitigation measures. The engineer finds it missing recommended requirements for operation, maintenance, sustainment, and disposal, which the minimum report content includes. Those requirements are added before the report goes to the program office.
