PURPOSE
|
The purpose of Task 103 is to provide the system integrating contractor and MA with appropriate management surveillance of other contractors' system safety programs, and the capability to establish and maintain uniform integrated system safety program requirements. This task will also describe requirements for associate contractors, subcontractors, and architect and engineering firms' (AE) system safety programs. This task can also be used to require the flow down of system safety requirements to subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors.

TASK DESCRIPTION
|
INTEGRATING CONTRACTOR
|
Prepare an integrated system safety program plan (ISSPP) as the SSPP required by Task 102 defining the role of the integrator and the effort required from each associate contractor to help integrate system safety requirements for the total system.
| |
Address and identify definition of where the control, authority and responsibility transitions from Integrating Contractor to associates and subcontractors.
| |
Address and identify analyses, risk assessment, and verification data to be developed by each associate contractor with format and method to be utilized.
| |
Address and identify data each associate contractor is required to submit to the integrator and its scheduled delivery keyed to program milestones.
| |
Address and identify schedule and other information considered pertinent by the integrator.
| |
Address and identify The method of development of system level (including software) requirements to be allocated to each of the associate contractors as a part of the system specification, end-item specifications, and other interface requirement documentation.
| |
Address and identify safety-related data pertaining to nondevelopmental items (NDI).
| |
Address and identify Integrated safety analyses to be conducted and support required from associate and subcontractors.
| |
Address and identify Integrating Contractors' roles in test range, nuclear safety, explosive, or other certification processes.
| |
Initiate action through the MA to make sure each associate contractor is required to be responsive to the ISSPP.
| |
Recommend contractual modification where the need exists
| |
When conducting risk assessments, analyze the integrated system design, operations, and specifically the interfaces between the products of each associate contractor or subcontractor and the end item.
| |
Data or analyses provided by associate contractors and subcontractors shall be used in the conduct of this effort.
| |
When performing a safety assessment, summarize the mishap risk presented by the operation of the integrated system..
| |
Data or analyses provided by associate contractors or subcontractors shall be used in the conduct of this effort
| |
Provide assistance and guidance to associate contractors regarding safety matters.
| |
Resolve differences between associate contractors in areas related to safety, especially during development of safety inputs to system and item specifications.
| |
Where problems cannot be resolved by the integrator, notify the MA for resolution and action
| |
Initiate action through the MA to make sure information required by an associate contractor (from the integrating contractor or other associate contractors) to accomplish safety tasks, is provided in an agreed-to format.
| |
Develop a method of exchanging safety information between contractors. If necessary, schedule and conduct technical meetings between all associate contractors to discuss, review, and integrate the safety effort. Use of the SSG/SSWG meetings should be included as required.
| |
Implement an audit program to make sure the objectives and requirements of the system safety program are being accomplished.
| |
Whenever the integrating contractor believes an associate contractor has failed to meet contract requirements, the integrating contractor will notify the MA in writing.
| |
The integrator for the safety effort will send a copy of the notification to the associate contractor.
| |
ASSOCIATE CONTRACTOR
|
Provide safety data and support (including participation in SSGs/SSWGs) needed by other associate contractors and the integrator to the extent specified in the contract.
| |
SUBCONTRACTORS
|
Applicable provisions of this standard shall be included in all contracts with major subcontractors. The "chain of responsibility" for formally flowing down the system safety contractual requirements from the prime contractor to different levels of subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors (who provide different applicable subsystems, equipment and/or parts) shall be identified.
| |
All subcontractors shall be required to maintain suitable documentation of safety analyses they have performed in formats which will permit incorporation of their data into the overall analysis program.
| |
Major subcontractors shall be required to develop system safety program plans to be included as annexes to the prime contractor's SSPP.
| |
Lesser subcontractors and vendors shall be required to provide information on software, component and subassembly characteristics, including failure modes, failure rates, and possible hazards, which will permit prime contractor personnel to evaluate the items for their impact on safety of the system.
| |
All subcontractors shall participate in the SSG and SSWGs, when required.
| |
ARCHITECT AND ENGINEERING FIRMS
|
The AE shall be responsible for conducting facility hazard analyses and other facility SSPP functions as specified in the solicitation.
| |
The AE shall be responsible for securing the expertise necessary to perform the required work and will have the same responsibilities as a prime contractor in hazard identification, tracking, and resolution.
| |
The AE shall assure that design subcontractors or consultants maintain and provide suitable documentation of any safety analyses performed.
| |
DETAILS TO BE SPECIFIED IN THE SOLICITATION
|
Designation of the system safety integrating contractor.
| |
Designation of status of the other contractors.
| |
Requirements for any special integrated safety analyses.
| |
Requirements to support test range, nuclear safety, explosive, environmental or other certification processes.
| |
Description of specific integration roles
