Project Description
SOA Engineering developed a bespoke five-day product safety course for the Australian Submarine Corporation (ASC) with the objective of raising the awareness and capability of designers, engineers and managers who are involved in the design, build, commissioning and maintenance of ships and submarines.
The courses where designed to be interactive and hands-on, encouraging a modern structured, goal centric approach to safety cases as opposed to the previously preferred prescriptive approach. The course provided practical experience of using the most up-to-date and established techniques for safety engineering, including: hazard identification, hazard analysis, safety argument, human error (a key contributor to many major accidents) and the treatment of systematic failures. In addition, delegates where given a working understanding of the statutory requirements of relevant legislation and mandatory requirements of process standards.
