DHB-S-001, NASA DRYDEN HANDBOOK (CODE S): SYSTEM SAFETY HANDBOOK (02 MAR 1999)

DHB-S-001, NASA DRYDEN HANDBOOK (CODE S): SYSTEM SAFETY HANDBOOK (02 MAR 1999)., This handbook supports the requirements specified in NPD 8700.1 and describes the basic elements and techniques for managing a system safety program. It also provides guidelines to assist project managers and system safety engineers in tailoring a project system safety plan to meet NASA safety goals within the constraints of available resources. The handbook defines the authority, responsibility, and accountability for performance of system safety tasks. The guidelines provided in the handbook apply to hardware, software, and operations associated with space flight systems, aeronautical flight systems, and groundbased test and research facilities during all phases of project development. A description of current system safety analysis techniques used for the identification, evaluation, and assessment of hazards is provided. Examples of each technique with appropriate guidelines for their selection and implementation are also included.
