Learn the fundamentals of system safety — and how to apply them

A practical introduction to system safety engineering, hazard identification and safety analysis for engineers, safety practitioners and technical managers.

  • Problem

    System safety can seem complicated. Standards, hazard analyses, risk assessments, safety requirements, and assurance activities can quickly become a maze of terminology and paperwork.

  • Solution

    This course gives you the foundations you need to make

  • You Will Learn

    You'll learn how system safety works as an engineering discipline, how hazards are identified and analysed, and how structured safety-analysis techniques can be applied throughout the system lifecycle.

What you'll learn

Understand what system safety is, why it is needed, and how it differs from traditional approaches to safety. You'll explore the relationship between: Hazards → Risks → Safety Requirements → Controls → Verification → Evidence

  • How hazards are identified

    Learn how to systematically identify hazards associated with a system, its functions, interfaces, and operating environment. You'll be introduced to Preliminary Hazard Identification (PHI) and the principles behind MIL-STD-882E Task 201.

  • How hazards are analyzed

    Learn how Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) is used to identify hazardous conditions, assess their consequences and develop appropriate controls. You'll examine the principles behind MIL-STD-882E Task 202.

  • How safety requirements are developed

    Understand how hazards and safety constraints are translated into system requirements. You'll be introduced to System Requirements Hazard Analysis (SRHA) and MIL-STD-882E Task 203.

Frequently Asked Questions

System safety doesn't have to be mysterious. Learn the principles, understand the analysis process and start applying structured safety engineering to your own systems.

  • How long does the course take? The course contains approximately four hours of video instruction across 18 lessons. You can work through the material at your own pace.

  • Is this an introductory course? Yes. It is designed to establish a solid foundation in system safety before progressing to more advanced analysis and assurance activities.

  • Is MIL-STD-882E only relevant to defence? No. While MIL-STD-882E was developed for defence acquisition, many of its concepts and analytical approaches are also used or adapted in other safety-critical sectors.

  • Can I study at my own pace? Yes. The course is delivered online, allowing you to work through the lessons according to your own schedule.

Who is this course for?

This course is designed for professionals who need to understand system safety — whether safety is their primary discipline or an increasingly important part of their engineering role. Ideal for: • Systems engineers who need to incorporate safety into their engineering activities • Safety engineers developing or extending their system-safety skills • Software and hardware engineers working on safety-critical systems • Project and engineering managers responsible for technical risk and assurance • Airworthiness, seaworthiness and certification professionals • Defence engineers and technical specialists • Assurance and compliance practitioners • Engineers moving into a system safety role • Experienced practitioners who want to refresh their fundamentals.
