2. ARP4761 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARP4761

   The Functional Safety process is focused on identifying functional failure conditions leading to hazards. Functional Hazard Analyses / Assessments are central to determining hazards. FHA is performed early in aircraft design, first as an Aircraft Functional Hazard Analysis (AFHA) and then as a System Functional Hazard Analysis (SFHA).

3. System safety - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_safety

   A “system", therefore, has implicit as well as explicit definition of boundaries to which the systematic process of hazard identification, hazard analysis and control is applied. The system can range in complexity from a crewed spacecraft to an autonomous machine tool. The system safety concept helps the system designer(s) to model, analyse ...

4. Hazard analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard_analysis

   ANSI/GEIA-STD-0010-2009 (Standard Best Practices for System Safety Program Development and Execution) is a demilitarized commercial best practice that uses proven holistic, comprehensive and tailored approaches for hazard prevention, elimination and control. It is centered around the hazard analysis and functional based safety process.

5. Hazard and operability study - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard_and_operability_study

   A hazard and operability study (HAZOP) is a structured and systematic examination of a complex system, usually a process facility, in order to identify hazards to personnel, equipment or the environment, as well as operability problems that could affect operations efficiency.

6. Layers of protection analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layers_of_protection_analysis

   Layers of protection analysis (LOPA) is a technique for evaluating the hazards, risks and layers of protection associated with a system, such as a chemical process plant. . In terms of complexity and rigour LOPA lies between qualitative techniques such as hazard and operability studies (HAZOP) and quantitative techniques such as fault trees and event trees.

7. Reliability, availability, maintainability and safety - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability,_availability...

   In engineering, reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) [1] [2] is used to characterize a product or system: Reliability: Ability to perform a specific function and may be given as design reliability or operational reliability; Availability: Ability to keep a functioning state in the given environment

8. Fault tree analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_tree_analysis

   A fault tree diagram. Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a type of failure analysis in which an undesired state of a system is examined. This analysis method is mainly used in safety engineering and reliability engineering to understand how systems can fail, to identify the best ways to reduce risk and to determine (or get a feeling for) event rates of a safety accident or a particular system level ...

9. Safety engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_engineering

   The analysis is used during the design phase to identify process engineering hazards together with risk mitigation measures. The methodology is described in the American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice 14C Analysis, Design, Installation, and Testing of Basic Surface Safety Systems for Offshore Production Platforms. The technique uses ...
