Safeguards subsystem

An evaluation of design hazards and the suggested corrective actions and safeguards including those in subsystems and subgroups... 

As discussed earlier, cause and consequence are closely coupled. However, in some approaches safeguards are not considered initially and only consequences are considered pertinent to all causes. Finally, safeguards are applied to obtain the final recommended action. Normally, it is the prerogative of team leaders to decide when to carry out the consequence analysis. In most cases it is seen that such exercises are done after each subsystem study is complete, so that all causes and consequences can be carefully studied. It is necessary to see if the system goes beyond the intended... 

Safety equipment and safeguards (e.g., interlocks, system redundancy, failsafe design considerations, subsystem protection, fire suppression systems, PPE, and warning labels).
