The MIL-STD-882D standard practice describes a system safety approach that is useful in the management of Environmental, Health of Safety mishap risks encountered in the life cycle of Department of Defense (DOD) systems, subsystems, equipment, and facilities. To paraphrase the standard, mishap risk must be identified, evaluated, and mitigated to a level acceptable (as defined by the system user or customer) to the appropriate authority, and compliant with federal laws and related rules. Further, residual mishap risk associated with an individual system must be reported to and accepted by the appropriate authority. These basic requirements are fundamental to system safety.

Several texts include hazard analysis and risk assessment decision matrices. Every matrix I found has been adopted from those included in what was originally known as Military Standard—System Safety Program Requirements, MlL-STD-882. Its most recent version is now named Standard Practice for System Safety, MIL-STD-882D, 2000. Influence of that standard will be obvious in the remainder of this chapter.

One is the Air Force System Safety Handbook, a revision of which was published in July 2000. It is an adaptation of Standard Practice for System Safety, Department of Defense, known as MIL-STD-882D, 2000. And the second is William J. Haddon s energy release theory as set forth in his papers, such as The Prevention of Accidents and On the Escape of Tigers An Ecological Note. ... 

There were many developments to advance system safety in the military branches and at the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA), commencing in the 1960s. Several governmental standards have been issued on system safety, following the intent of what is known as MIL-STD-882. Its most recent modification, made in 2000, is titled the Standard Practice for System Safety Department of Defense and is identified as MIL-STD-882D. 

The standard has both general and detailed requirements. General requirements include documentation of the system safety approach, identification of hazards, risk assessment, identification of risk mitigation measures, reduction of risk to an acceptable level, verification of risk reduction, review of hazards and acceptance of residual risk, and tracking of hazards and residual risk. When a government contract specifies MIL-STD-882D and no other requirement, only the general requirements apply. 

MIL STD 882D a military standard that specifically deals with system safety techniques and program requirements. 

B155.1 s Subsection 6.4, Assess Initial Risk, says that risks shall be assessed using a risk scoring system. The Example Risk-Scoring System shown in the standard is taken from MIL-STD-882D. It is identical to the Risk Assessment Matrix depicted in Table 7 in Chapter 8, A Primer on Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment, and shown here as Table 4. 

This hierarchy of controls repeats the elements enumerated within the hierarchies of other standards. Again, they closely resemble the provisions in MIL-STD-882D. 

Mention was made previously of the work in progress to replace MIL-STD-882D. Because of the importance of the revisions proposed in the standard s order of preference, we excerpt material from the draft version of 882E ... 

An industry standard definition of mishap, provided in MIL-STD-882D, is An unplanned event or series of events resulting in death, injury, occupational illness, damage to or loss of equipment or property, or damage to the environment. It should be noted that in system safety, the term mishap is synonymous with accident. A mishap is effectively an actualized hazard, whereby the hazard transitions from the dormant conditional state to the active mishap event state. The three required components of a hazard predefine the mishap. A mishap would not be possible without the preexistence of a hazard. A mishap is an actual event that has occurred and has resulted in an undesired outcome. Mishaps and a hazards are directly related, they are linked together by risk and state space. A mishap is an actuated hazard it is the direct result of a potential hazard, when the hazard s IMs (or causal factors) occurs, transitioning the hazard from a potential condition state to a mishap event state with loss outcome.
