Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com MIL–STD–882D for all Army systems and equipment, regardless of the acquisition process utilized (that is, evolution- ary acquisition or spiral development), throughout their respective life cycles. Safety lessons learned shall be a key consideration in selecting the best solution during the analysis of alternatives. c. Army commanders and managers will implement their system safety engineering and management responsibilities consistent with their missions to include accelerated acquisition, technology transitions, or NDI. d. The materiel developer of a system-of-systems shall have a tailored, overarching system safety program. e.
The host-platform materiel developer shall assume safety responsibility for the total system integration, unless a memorandum of agreement states otherwise. f. Hazards discovered in fielded systems, facilities, and materiel shall be assessed and communicated in a timely manner. The hazards shall be eliminated, controlled, or accepted through the mishap risk management component of CRM process and the ASAT, as appropriate. g.
An independent safety assessment of Army system safety risks will be provided in all Army System Acquisition Review Council and in-process review packages and will be provided directly to the milestone decision authority by the appropriate safety support for all milestone decision reviews (MDRs) and in-process reviews. h. A system safety management plan (SSMP) will be developed for the acquisition of all systems to establish Army management objectives and responsibilities for execution of a system safety program for the life cycle of a system beginning at the concept decision. This will be updated and provided at each MDR. i.
Acceptance of Army system and equipment safety risks will be performed at a level of management authority commensurate with the risk. (1) AR 70–1 establishes the Army’s standard system safety risk decision matrix. Should program requirements dictate a different decision authority, an appropriate matrix will be developed by the PM. The recommended matrix will be submitted for approval to the effected level of authority. The risk acceptance hierarchy will be published and updated as required in the appropriate SSMP. (2) A formal SSRA will be used to document the acceptance of all risks exceeding the criteria for “low” risk.
Either a separate SSRA will be developed and processed for each residual hazard or a consolidated SSRA at the system or subsystem level annotating residual hazards will be processed at an appropriate time consistent with the design decision process for that system. It is not desired that processing of SSRAs be deferred until the MDRs. j. Army commanders and managers will ensure risk reduction through application of controls by— (1) System design changes that eliminate the hazard that can greatly reduce the probability or severity of a hazard. (2) Safety devices which can reduce the probability or severity of a hazard.
(3) Training/procedures/cautions/warnings which can only marginally reduce probability of a hazard. k. Known system hazards associated with GFE, NDI, or COTS will be tracked and researched, to include possible interfaces with other system components. l.
Where the operating environment of the Army system is precisely the same as the operating environment for the corresponding commercial system covered by the consensus design standard, hazards can be closed out as “meeting or exceeding consensus design standards.” Similarly, hazards associated with GFE need only be considered if the proposed GFE application exceeds the original operating environment or if interfaces are different from which the GFE is designed. m. When a hazard is identified that has potentially significant impact upon Army training or operations, the PM, in conjunction with the cognizant materiel development agency, will immediately alert the ASAT chairman. 9–3.
Objectives The primary objective of system safety is to maximize operational readiness and mission effectiveness through accident prevention by ensuring— a. Hazards and associated risks are identified and managed for each system throughout its life cycle and all mission variations. b. Hazards are eliminated through design or controlled to acceptable levels and risk associated with residual hazards is formally identified, accepted by the appropriate management decision level, and documented. c. Hazards associated with new technology or operations are identified for consideration in later applications. 9–4.
System safety standards The system safety standards prescribed in DA Pam 385–16 are mandatory and shall be used together with the requirements of this regulation. 9–5. Application of mishap risk management component of composite risk management The requirements in DA Pam 385–30 are mandatory and shall be applied to the requirements of this chapter and DA Pam 385–16. 9–6. System safety and Manpower and Personnel Integration Program System safety and health hazards will be integrated into the Army’s MANPRINT program, which focuses on 46 AR 385–10 • 23 August 2007
