Planning and Development Methodology

The foundation for the generic model is based on some areas of common ground and some attempts to bridge gaps between individual approaches now 

Determine where you want to go. Examine the generic model. Modify it as necessary to meet the needs of your organization. (Assuming this model is used as the basis for teaching system safety, keeping modifications to a minimum will be to your advantage.) 

Determine where you are. Compare your existing system safety program with the model (very easy if you do not have a program ) and systematically list all differences. 

Develop a detailed plan to close the gap. Tailor and edit the procedures given here, if necessary, to produce a systematic plan for transforming your present program into the ideal (model) program. 

Discuss the concept of dual system safety programs. What is the focus of each
