This Safety Case Development (SCD) course will address the practical challenges that managers, engineers and operators face in providing safety assurance for new or modified systems integrated into safety-related environments. A safety case (or safety report) contains a structured argument and detailed evidence to justify that a system is safe for a specific use in a specific environment. A safety case must also provide safety assurance prior to systems use and it must show how safety is maintained throughout the operational lifetime.

Using a mixture of presentations and practical exercises, this course aims to provide the knowledge and practical experience to enable attendees to assess and develop safety case reports that satisfy the universal safety assurance requirements of common safety standards.

A common misconception associated with the label 'safety case' is that a particular methodological approach to safety assurance must be adopted; e.g. risk must be reduced as low a reasonably practicable which is mandated in some UK high-risk industries. This course does not prescribe specific methodological approaches; the techniques and methods taught will enable attendees to produce compelling safety arguments equally applicable to safety assurance requirements specified in distinct international safety standards such as MIL-STD 882, DO-178C, IEC-61508 and UK Defence Standard 00-56.
