This module teaches systematic approaches to hazard identification and risk assessment, including principles of risk reduction and ALARP. It effectively covers the first half of the safety process in the system development lifecycle. It encompasses predictive, target-setting techniques and should ideally be taken as a pair with System Safety Assessment, which addresses concepts and techniques appropriate to the later stages of a development project.
Demonstrate understanding of the principles of risk assessment and management throughout the lifecycle of a system or service.
Apply hazard and risk analysis techniques whilst demonstrating understanding of their strengths and limitations.
Select and justify the use of appropriate hazard identification and analysis techniques throughout the lifecycle.
Describe the role of hazard and risk assessment in supporting design trade-offs and operation decisions
