Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This text provides a good, high-level introduction to common (and not so common) system safety analysis techniques. This is the major strength of the book and will provide a great deal of insight into the activities that a principle for safety may expect on a MIL-STD-882 compliant project. I say "may" because 882 is so nebulous with respect to establishing what exactly is required of a developer and PFS are so gun shy to place requirements on industry since Acquisition Reform neutered most of the Defense regulatory authorities back in 2000.
The perspective provided with respect to subsystem followed by system-level progression shows an obvious bent towards MIL-STD-882 as opposed to, say, an ARP 4754 approach of aircraft/system/subsystem. Not surprising given Cliff's background. The unfortunate upshot of this approach is that it hinders one's ability to establish a top-level failure probability objective prior to system development as opposed to driving one down through the design.
Examples provided are at a reasonable level for an introductory text. I would recommend this book above that of Moriarty for both students and supervised practitioners.

A practical guide to identifying hazards using common hazard analysis techniquesMany different hazard analysis techniques have been developed over the past forty years. However, there is only a handful of techniques that safety analysts actually apply in their daily work. Written by a former president of the System Safety Society and winner of the Boeing Achievement and Apollo Awards for his safety analysis work, Hazard Analysis Techniques for System Safety explains, in detail, how to perform the most commonly used hazard analysis techniques employed by the system safety engineering discipline.Focusing on the twenty-two most commonly used hazard analysis methodologies in the system safety discipline, author Clifton Ericson outlines the three components that comprise a hazard and describes how to use these components to recognize a hazard during analysis. He then examines each technique in sufficient detail and with numerous illustrations and examples, to enable the reader to easily understand and perform the analysis.Techniques covered include:* Preliminary Hazard List (PHL) Analysis* Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA)* Subsystem Hazard Analysis (SSHA)* System Hazard Analysis (SHA)* Operating and Support Hazard Analysis (O&SHA)* Health Hazard Assessment (HHA)* Safety Requirements/Criteria Analysis (SRCA)* Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)* Event Tree Analysis (ETA)* Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)* Fault Hazard Analysis* Functional Hazard Analysis* Sneak Circuit Analysis (SCA)* Petri Net Analysis (PNA)* Markov Analysis (MA)* Barrier Analysis (BA)* Bent Pin Analysis (BPA)* HAZOP Analysis* Cause Consequence Analysis (CCA)* Common Cause Failure Analysis (CCFA)* MORT Analysis* Software Safety Assessment (SWSA)Written to be accessible to readers with a minimal amount of technical background, Hazard Analysis Techniques for System Safety gathers, for the first time in one source, the techniques that safety analysts actually apply in daily practice. Both new and seasoned analysts will find this book an invaluable resource for designing and constructing safe systems-- in short, for saving lives.
