Standard. Practice for System Safety MIL-STD

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.

The Department of Defense s Standard Practice for System Safety, MIL-STD-882, was originally issued in 1969. It was a seminal document at that time, and three revisions of it have been issued over the span of 31 years. This standard has had considerable influence on the development of risk assessment, risk elimination, and risk control concepts and methods. Much of the wording on risk assessments and hierarchies of control in safety standards and guidelines issued throughout the world is comparable to that in the various versions of MIL-STD-882.

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.

Five examples of risk assessment matrices follow. First, an adaptation is shown in Table 7 of the Mishap risk categories and mishap acceptance levels as in the working draft of MIL-STD-882E, the Department of Defense Standard Practice For System Safety. A comment in Appendix A of 882E is pertinent here A mishap assessment matrix allows classification by mishap severity and mishap probability and assists in managing the decision-making to achieve the necessary risk elimination or reduction to an acceptable level. ...

MIL-STD-882 is the U.S. Department of Defense Standard Practice for System Safety. It is considered by many to be the grandfather of safety design standards, having been issued first in 1969. Its fifth edition— MIL-STD-882E—was approved on May 11, 2012. Many contractors who do work for the Department of Defense are required to meet its...

As this edition is published, the current MIL-STD-882 is the D version and, therefore, discussion of that approach to system safety implementation follows. The D version responds to changes in the defense acquisition procedures and is no longer the source for safety-related data item descriptions (the formal detailed requirements associated with defense procurement contracts). Therefore, for several reasons, the more detailed methods of implementation of previous versions of the military standard are retained because they are still valid. This is for two reasons. First, there are some government contracts with very long periods of performance or those that have been renewed multiple times that still refer to the earlier standard version. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, the implementation method of the previous versions provides a guide for implementation of the newer standard practice. ...
