Programmatic Environmental, Safety, and Occupational Evaluation (PESHE) is an overall evaluation of a program’s Environmental, Safety, and Occupational Health (ESOH) risks and is required for all programs.  The PESHE is part of a program’s Risk Management/Reduction program with the goal to eliminate ESOH hazards, where possible, and manage their associated risks where hazards cannot be […]

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 31000 is a family of standards relating to risk management. The purpose of ISO 31000:2009 provides a framework and a process for the management of risk that are applicable to any type of organization in public or private sector. ISO 31000 seeks to provide a universally recognized standard for Program

The Joint Services Weapon Safety Review (JSWSR) Process is used by two or more DoD Components in developing a joint program. It’s a collaborative process and is conducted in conjunction with, not in addition to, the existing Service-specific weapon safety review processes. A JSWSRs will be conducted: For weapons designated as joint Service weapons, including

Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) an analytical tool that is used in Risk Management to identify various ways in which systems element can fail and what’s their overall impact (consequence) to other elements and/or the overall system.  The results are processed thru Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) in which each potential failure

A Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a Risk Management tool that assesses the safety-critical functions within a system’s architecture and design. It analyzes high-level failures and identifies all lower-level (sub-system) failures that cause them. FTA is useful during the initial product design phase as a tool for driving the design through an evaluation of both

A Hazard Tracking System (HTS) is a tool used by a Program Management Office (PMO), Program Managers (PM), Systems Engineers, and Safety Manager to track safety hazards. The purpose of a HTS is to effectively manage hazard analysis data and facilitate a hazard discovery and hazard risk mitigation process. The objectives of a HTS include:

An effective Risk Management Process requires a commitment on the part of the Program Manager (PM), the Program Management Office (PMO), and the contractor to be successful. A government risk management program should have a goal to share program risks with the development, production, or support contractor and not transfer all risks to a contractor.

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a risk process used to identify, assess, manage, and control risks to exploit opportunities they might provide within an organization. It provides an overall framework for an organization’s risk management program by establishing objectives. Definition: Enterprise Risk Management is a process, effected by an entity’s board of directors, management and

Element 6 “Verify, Validate, and Document Risk Reduction” is where the Program Manager (PM) verifies the implementation and validates the effectiveness of all selected risk mitigation measures through appropriate analysis, testing, demonstration, or inspection. Document the verification and validation in the Hazard Tracking System (HTS). MIL-STD-882E “Standard Practice for System Safety” – Page 13  –

Element 7 “Accept risk and document”. Before exposing people, equipment, or the environment to known system-related hazards, the risks shall be accepted by the appropriate authority as defined in DoD Instruction 5000.02 “Operation of the Defense Acquisition System”. The system configuration and associated documentation that supports the formal risk acceptance decision shall be provided to
