Tasks Applicable Mission Phases Description SFWC Artifacts References
2.3.14-6-1 Ensure design and implementation support the safety factors as it pertains to the human operator, maintainer or user of the system Phase B | Phase C | Ensure requirements and contractor analysis and design products meet required system safety and associated human factors engineering requirements. Ensure design minimizes the potential for accidents or mishaps that cause: injury or death to operators, maintainers, sustainers or users of the system; threaten the successful operation of the system; and propagation of failures in other subsystems or systems. Ensure design and operational characteristics minimize the probability for accidents or mishaps to operators, maintainers, sustainers or users of the system. Applies to HW, SW, and SE across Ground, Space, User and Factory.

2.3.14-6-2 Ensure safety analyses and lessons learned are utilized by the contractor to incorporate design features to prevent safety hazards where possible Phase B | Phase C | Ensure contractor safety analysis and lessons learned applicable to the program design are incorporated in the design products and the products meet required system safety and associated human factors engineering requirements. In all cases safety hazards that cannot be avoided must be managed. Applies to HW, SW, and SE across Ground, Space, User and Factory.

2.3.14-6-3 Ensure that when an interface between the system and human exists the human is alerted when problems surface and the design enables error avoidance and recovery Phase B | Phase C | Ensure identification of system and human interfaces and requirements and design reflect a product that alerts the human to problems and the design enables error avoidance and recovery from those problems. Ensure interface requirements and contractor analysis and design products meet required system safety and associated human factors engineering requirements. Ensure that the design minimizes the potential for accidents or mishaps that cause: injury or death to operators, maintainers, sustainers or users of the system; threaten the successful operation of the system, and propagation of failures in other subsystems or systems.
