Risk Analysis Programs: Transcript

Introduction

Hello and welcome to this course on Systems Safety Risk Analysis Programs. I’m Simon Di Nucci, The Safety Artisan, and I’ve been a safety engineer and consultant for over 20 years.

I’ve worked on a wide range of safety programs doing risk analysis on all kinds of things. Ships, planes, trains, air traffic management systems, software systems, you name it. I’ve worked in the U.K., in Australia, and on many systems from the US.

I’ve also trained hundreds of people on safety. And now I’ve
got the opportunity to share some of that knowledge with you online.

So, what are the benefits of this course?

First of all, you will learn about basic concepts. About system safety, what it is, and what it does. You will know how to apply a risk analysis program to a very complex system and how to manage that complexity. So, that’s what you’ll know.

At the end of the course, you will also be able to do things that you might not have been able to do before. You will be able to take the elements of a risk analysis program and the different tasks. Select the right tasks and form a program to suit your application, whatever it might be.

You might have a full, high-risk bespoke development system. Or take a commercial system off the shelf and do something new with it. You might be taking a product and using it in a new application or a new location. Whatever it might be, you will learn how to tailor your risk analysis program.

This program will give you the analyses you need, to meet your legal and regulatory requirements. Once you’ve learned how to do this, you can apply it to almost any system.

Finally, you will feel confident doing this. I will be interpreting the terminology used in the tasks and applying my experience. So, instead of reading the standard and being unsure of your interpretation, you can be sure of what you need to do. Also, I will show you how you can get good results and avoid some of the pitfalls.

So, these are the three benefits of the program:

• You will know what to do.
• You will be able to do things, and …
• You’ll be feeling confident doing the tasks.

At the end of the course, I will also show you where to find further resources. There are free resources to choose from. But there are also paid resources for those who want to take their studies to the next level. I hope you enjoy the course.
