Hazard Identification Facility




                      A generic list of anticipated hazards should be developed after the ORMG has become familiar with the system. The hazard list should also denote controls that could be implemented to manage the risks associated with the identified risks as well as relevant requirements from regulatory, consensus standards. 
         This information, should be presented as a tabular format which, includes a Requirements Cross-check Analysis. The generic hazards and controls should be developed from program documentation. It is anticipated that this list will lengthen as the O&SHA progresses. This list will also serve as a basis for other future analyses. 
           The basis of the analysis relates to generic hazards and controls to specific maintenance steps required for maintaining and repairing the system. The maintenance steps identified during the review should be integrated into a matrix. In evaluating hazards associated with the maintenance procedures, the specific procedures could fall into generic maintenance categories, which are characterized for example as listed 
below: 

 · Transporting line replaceable units (LRU) 
· Processor shut down procedures 
· Energizing and de-energizing procedures 
· Connection and disconnection procedures 
· Mounting and unmounting procedures 
· Restart procedures 
The anticipated hazards associated with the maintenance steps and comments could be presented in a Risk Assessment Matrix (Master Matrix). Generic hazard controls should be identified using a Requirements 
Cross-check Analysis. 
The anticipated hazards should be verified by on-site reviews.

SHEL(L) Model

Image
   “SHEL” model  : The component blocks of the SHEL model : Software, Hardware, Environment, Liveware). The  interpretations are: liveware (human), hardware (machine), software (procedures, symbology, etc.) and environment.                                   Liveware (the human)  is at the centre of the model. Human is generally considered  the most critical as well as the most flexible component in the system. Yet people are subject to considerable variations in performance and suffer many limitations, most of which are now predictable in general terms. The edges of this block are jagged, and so the other components of the system must be carefully matched with them if stress in the system and eventual breakdown are to be avoided.  Physical size and shape. In the design of workplace and equipment, a vital consideration involves body measurements and movements, which may vary according to factors such as age, ethnicity and gender. Human Factors inputs must be provided at an early sta

National Aerospace Standard (NAS) 411

                          This National Aerospace Standard (NAS) 411 was created by the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) as an industry standard to manage hazardous material (HAZMAT) used in Products and Services. As appropriate, NAS411 requirements can be applied to all Products and Services lifecycle phases, e.g. Materiel Solution Analysis, Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction, Engineering and Manufacturing Development, Production and Deployment, Operations and Support, and Disposal.                      The Hazardous Materials Management Program (HMMP) is the process to ensure appropriate consideration is given to the systematic identification, evaluation, elimination or minimization of HAZMAT risks to human health or the environment (including risks of violating related and applicable regulatory requirements), and to identify measures to appropriately control such risks that are not eliminated. Unless otherwise noted, the process includes risks attributed to produc

Safety Culture

Image
                          Culture is characterized by the beliefs, values, biases and their resultant behaviour that are shared among members of a society, group or organization. An understanding of these cultural components, and the interactions among them, is important to safety management. Among the most influential cultural components are organizational, professional, and national. A reporting culture is key component of these different cultures. The mix of cultural components may vary greatly among organizations and can negatively influence effective hazard reporting, collaborative root cause analysis, and acceptable risk mitigation. Continous improvement in safety performance is possible when safety becomes a value within an organization as well as a priority at the national or professional level .                         Safety Culture encompasses the commonly held perceptions and beliefs of an organization‘s members pertaining to the public‘s safety and can be a determin
