System A composite, at any level of complexity, of trained personnel, procedures, materials, tools, equipment, facilities, and software.
The elements of this composite entity are used together in the intended operational or support environment to perform a given task or achieve a specific production, support, or mission requirement. System inadequacy A tangible or intangible element that did not operate to standards, resulting in human error or materiel failure. Also referred to as causes, readiness shortcomings and/or root causes. System safety The application of engineering and management principles, criteria, and techniques to optimize safety within the constraints of operational effectiveness, time, and cost throughout all phases of systems’, equipment’s, or facilities’ life cycle.
System safety engineering An engineering discipline requiring specialized professional knowledge and skills in applying scientific and engineering principles, criteria, and techniques to identify and eliminate hazards or reduce the risk associated with the hazards. System safety lessons learned A collection of real or potential safety or health-related problems based on data analysis or experience that can be applied to future and current systems to prevent similar recurrences.
System safety management An element of management that defines the system safety program requirements and ensures the planning, implementa- tion, and accomplishment of system safety tasks and activities consistent with the overall program requirements.
