Safety Engineering Training

Safety Management for Defence Systems

Audience

Engineers and managers who need to understand safety engineering techniques and safety management practice, particularly as applied to the UK defence sector. It is particularly useful for those working with the latest edition of Defence Standard 00-56.

Prerequisites

None.

Training method

A three-day course consisting of presentations supported by practical examples and group exercises. The course is given by experienced safety practitioners who are able to bring their extensive experience of the UK defence sector to the classroom.

Training goals

To enable safety engineering professionals and managers to understand safety management practice as currently applied to UK Ministry of Defence applications. An exposition of safety management practice as required the UK Defence Standard 00-56 forms the core of this course. Delegates will also be given an overview of relevant safety engineering techniques covering the whole systems life cycle with particular focus on risk assessment, deriving and managing safety requirements and demonstrating safety to UK defence approvals bodies.

You will learn

Origins of safety management for defence applications.
Use of Defence Standard 00-56 and other applicable standards.
Hazard identification and risk assessment techniques.
Human Factors in military safety applications.
Safety requirements derivation.
Managing safety throughout the project life cycle.
Safety Assurance.
Demonstrating safety and safety approval.

Course Programme

Three-day course held either at your premises or at Altran Praxis offices.
