| PURPOSE |
| The purpose of Task 301 is to perform and document a comprehensive evaluation of the mishap risk being assumed prior to test or operation of a system, prior to the next contract phase or at contract completion.
| |
| TASK DESCRIPTION
|
| The contractor shall perform and document a safety assessment to identify all safety features of the hardware, software, and system design and to identify procedural, hardware and software related hazards that may be present in the system being acquired including specific procedural controls and precautions that should be followed.
| |
| The contractor shall identify hazardous materials that are used in the design, operation, or maintenance of the system or will be generated by the system, and assess why a non or less hazardous material could not be used
| |
| REPORT REQUIREMENTS
|
| The contractor shall prepare a Safety Assessment Report (SAR) that contains the results from the work task described by paragraph "TASK DESCRIPTION" above to include the following information:
| |
| The safety criteria and methodology used to classify and rank hazards, plus any assumptions on which the criteria or methodologies were based or derived including the definition of acceptable risk as specified by the MA.
| |
| The results of analyses and tests performed to identify hazards inherent in the system, including:
| |
| Those hazards that still have a residual risk, and the actions that have been taken to reduce the associated risk to a level contractually specified as acceptable.
| |
| Results of tests conducted to validate safety criteria, requirements and analyses
| |
| The results of the safety program efforts. |
|
| Include a list of all significant hazards along with specific safety recommendations or precautions required to ensure safety of personnel, property, or the environment.
| |
| Categorize the list of hazards as to whether or not they may be expected under normal or abnormal operating conditions.
| |
| Any hazardous materials generated by or used in the system, including:
| |
| Identification of material type, quantity, and potential hazards.
| |
| Safety precautions and procedures necessary during use, packaging, handling, storage, transportation, and disposal (e.g., explosive ordnance disposal). Include all explosives hazard classifications.
| |
| After launch safety-related activity of expendable launch vehicles and their payloads including deployment, operation, reentry, and recovery (if required) of launch vehicles/payloads which do not attain orbit (either planned or unplanned).
| |
| Orbital safety hazard awareness associated with space systems such as explosions, electromagnetic interference, radioactive sources, ionizing radiation, chemicals, space debris, safe separation distances between space vehicles, and natural phenomena.
| |
| A copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet (OSHA form, or equivalent manufacturers format).
| |
| Conclude with a signed statement that all identified hazards have been eliminated or their associated risks controlled to levels contractually specified as acceptable, and that the system is ready to test or operate or proceed to the next acquisition phase.
| |
| In addition, the contractor shall make recommendations applicable to hazards at the interface of his system with the other system(s) as contractually required.
