What is Safety Management?
Safety Management is a process to identify the hazards related to systems, eliminate the hazards through designing, production, testing and operational steps or minimize and control the hazards to assure the safety in order to protect people, property and systems. etc as well as the environment from the accidents related to subsystems and components (system, etc.).
In this process, the system safety program plan shall be prepared and executed in the early phase of the developmental life cycle.
The main and typical activities are as follows. (See JAXA System Safety Standard JMR-001B)
Typical activities(See JAXA System Safety Standard JMR-005A)
1) Identification and Analysis of Hazard
2)Safety Design
3)Safety Verification

5) Documentation and Safety Data
【Point】
Identification and Analysis of Hazard.
【Explanation and Other Information】
Identification and Analysis of Hazard
The hazard as a system including subsystem and components shall be identified and analyzed through their entire life cycle in order to confirm the tolerable level as well as minimizing the risks.
The hazard risk is classified into three levels (“unacceptable”, “undesirable ” and “acceptable”). Any levels other than “acceptable” level shall be identified and analyzed by the Hazard report and the control and verification method shall be clarified.
【Point】
Classification in Hazard Analysis
【Explanation and Other Information】
In Hazard analysis, criticality of the risk is estimated based on the severity and likelihood of the risk, and is classified into three levels as unacceptable, undesirable and acceptable.
As shown in the above table, even catastrophic risk will be accepted when the risk Likelihood
is improbable. Thus risk disposition shall be considered with the severity and likelihood.
【Point】
Safety Design/ Safety Verification / Safety Review
【Explanation and Other Information】
Safety Design
In order to control the hazard, set the safety requirements, grasp the cause for each hazard and take measures for each cause.
Safety Verification
The safety design shall be verified by tests, etc.
Safety Review
Safety Review is to confirm that the necessary actions are certainly specified in the document of safety procedure and the works are surely performed in accordance with the procedure.
Documentation and Safety Data
Achievements and results of the system safety program activities shall be documented.
And the obtained safety data shall be maintained and managed.
【Point】

・Risk disposition:Decide on risk disposition and handling, develop and execute mitigation plans, and decide what will be tracked.
・Track risks:Track observables relating to performance measures.
・Communicate risks:Communicate and document the above activities throughout the process.
【Point】
Example of risk classification
【Explanation and Other Information】
This classification is similar to the hazard analysis in ths safety management.
Risk is estimated on the base of probability of occurrence and consequence of occurrence in 5 levels. as follows.
Probability of occurrence is classified to the following 5 levels;
5:This occurrence is unavoidable. Alternative approach or process is not found.
4:This occurrence is unavoidable, but alternative approach or process may be found.
3:This occurrence may be avoidable, but additional activity is necessary.
2:Generally this occurrence may be avoidable.
1:this occurrence is sufficiently avoidable.
Consequence of occurrence is classified to the following 5 scales.
5:This occurrence is unacceptable. Alternative approach or process is not found.
4:The influence is heavy, but alternative approach or process exist.
3:The influence is light, but alternative approach or process exist
