My Perspectives:
Safety in Design – 1 of 2
.
-
My view was that SiD represented a failure in the design process to
address the user requirements, construction and maintenance safety
requirements
I didn't 'get' what SiD was doing
My engineering 'upbringing' in defence was that safety was addressed
through requirements capture and systems engineering.
The shocks outside defence:
•
•
What URS? What spec? What interfaces? What integration? What systems
engineering? What traceability? What configuration management?
The 'traditional approach': Going straight from brief to design!
First experiences of SiD
•
•
No targets set, as I would expect for functionally-safe designs
Variable attention to maintainability & through-life support in the design
Good formats, and good outcomes, but incomplete owing to lack of time!
Revelation: SiD is a systematic, structured process for analysing the human-
to-asset interfaces (and asset to environment). It is different from a HAZOP
because HAZOP is intended to analyse deviations from design intent.
