1 Introduction

1) This document provides guidance for IPTs on contracting for Independent Safety Audit(ISA) services. It has been issued by the Safety Management Offices Group.

2) The document contains guidance on the ISA role, how to select ISAs, and the scopes ofwork for ISAs at different lifecycle phases.

3) The document is guidance for an IPT that can be used in part or additional work items canbe added. Some or all of the activities may be appropriate depending on the system complexityand the information that the IPT may require in order to assure themselves of the validity of asafety argument.

4 Basis for the ISA role

1) Any equipment contracts that will require ISA input on behalf of the MoD will includeappropriate contract clauses and conditions. To enable the ISA role to be undertaken it isessential that the following clause is included: “The Contractor shall provide access torecords, including sub-contractor records, for contract purposes, to enable the MoDappointed Independent Safety Auditor to carry out safety audits and other assessmentactivities to meet MoD safety requirements.” It is strongly recommended that the advice ofCommercial Officers is sought as appropriate.

2) Where an IPT contracts for the provision of ISA services any contract will requireappropriate contract clauses and conditions to be included to take account of reportingrequirements and dispute resolution procedures between the ISA, Duty Holder and theContractor. The requirement for the ISA to sign documents produced by the contractor toindicate that they have been reviewed or endorsed by the ISA should also be considered.

4.1 MoD policy and practice

1) This section describes the basis for the ISA role in MoD policy and practice.

2) The MoD is a self-regulating organisation with regard to safety where it has been grantedspecific exemptions, disapplications or derogations from legislation, international treaties orprotocols. This leads to a potential conflict of interest between the need to deliver new andenhanced capability to time and budget, and the obligation under the Health and Safety at WorkAct and the Secretary of State’s safety policy to reduce safety risks so far as is reasonablypracticable.

3) The ISA role is founded on MoD safety policy that introduces independence into safetyregulation by requiring or recommending the IPT (formally the “Duty Holder”, normally theIPT Leader) to seek an ISA’s opinion on the quality of the safety case for new or modifiedequipment. This independence is of benefit to both the IPT and the contractor and helps toachieve safety certification and compliance with legal requirements.

• In the maritime sector, JSP 430 requires an IPTL to authorise the safety case on thebasis of an endorsement from an independent safety audit of the Safety Case. Beforeauthorisation, the IPT must ensure the satisfactory resolution of any deficiencies orobservations raised through their Safety Committee and ISA.

• In the land sector, JSP 454 currently states, “As part of the IPT’s assurancearrangements, it is strongly recommended that an Independent Safety Auditor beappointed by the IPTL at the outset of the project in consultation with the safetycommittee, to undertake the following tasks of: providing independent assessmentand validation of Safety Case work; providing professional support and advice to thesafety committee and IPTL.”

• In the airworthiness sector, JSP 553 currently states, “The appointment of an ISA isrequired by Def Stan 00-56 for systems in the higher risk classes and is desirable inother cases if the aircraft, its systems or equipment are novel, complex or high risk.The ISA can also provide general safety advice to the IPT, the industrial Designerand other organisations.”

Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004

• In the ordnance sector, JSP 520 provides for independence through the review byDOSG and through the OME Safety Advisor assigned to the IPT to provide adviceand support. However, overall system safety will normally be covered by JSP 430,JSP 454 or JSP 553 and an ISA will be needed as described above. Also, JSP 520does provide for other independent technical experts on the OME Safety ReviewPanel, and the ISA can usefully provide independent audit and advice in areas such asoccupational safety.

4) The ISA has no executive authority and the IPT accepts full responsibility for safety. TheIPT may overrule an ISA’s recommendations but in such cases a robust justification for thedecision should be recorded.

5) The ISA role has two other aspects that flow from the need to form an expert, professionalopinion:

• The ISA plays an important part in advising the contractor and the IPT on aframework of appropriate standards and good practice. This is of increasingimportance in the light of the current trend in defence and civil sectors to “goal-based”, as opposed to prescriptive, regulation. A goal-based approach has theadvantage that it makes innovation easier, but it does not provide the same degree ofcertainty as prescriptive regulation. Safety advice is described in more detail inSection 5.3 below.

• According to the SMO’s policy, the ISA may assist the SMO to discharge itsresponsibilities for monitoring effective safety and environmental management bycontractors and IPTs, and for the provision of advice and guidance on safetymanagement. The organisational interface with the SMOs is elaborated in Section 6.4below.

4.2 ISA scopes of work

1) Typically the ISA caries out document reviews, audits against planned arrangements, andadditional analyses. The functions carried out by the ISA are elaborated in Section 5 and thedetailed scopes of work in Section 9.

2) In developing the scopes of work, the IPT should bear in mind the following.

3) The IPT shall arrange to preserve the ISA’s independence and enable them to carry out theirduties effectively. An authorised ISA has the right and duty to raise significant concerns directlywith the IPT or contractor, even when outside their agreed scope of work or TOR and shouldraise unresolved concerns with appropriate Authorities and the relevant SMO.

4) The ISA should be given reasonable resources to carry out the tasks. The cost of employingan ISA should be commensurate with the risk associated with the project. A lack of resources isa poor justification for placing limits on the scope of ISA work or level of involvement of theISA. Experience shows the costs of correcting a deficiency attributed to inadequate Safety Auditsignificantly outweigh any savings made.

5) It is possible that the ISA and the contractor will become deadlocked over some aspect ofthe safety argument, and the IPT will wish to seek another opinion. The relevant SMO may beable to provide informal assistance and advice on the way forward (although the IPT remains

Page 9 of 75

Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004

responsible for deciding the way ahead). Also, if the ISA has significant concerns that they donot believe are being adequately addressed, the relevant SMO may be approached forassistance. In these cases the SMO might be asked to co-operate in a process similar to thefollowing:

a. The ISA and the party (IPT or contractor) with whom they disagree should eachproduce a report setting out their position of the disputed area of the safety argument.These reports should be exchanged and also copied to the SMO. The SMO shouldalso be provided with other relevant documents, such as the safety management planand appropriate elements of the safety case.

b. Having read each other’s reports, the ISA and the other party should write an agreedjoint report setting out the precise areas of agreement and disagreement. This shouldbe sent to the SMO.

c. The IPT should arrange an arbitration hearing. Generally this will take a half-day butmight be longer for a complex dispute. The hearing should be chaired by a member ofthe SMO. The ISA and the other party should each present their point of view, whichmay be followed by a general discussion of the issues.

d. Following the hearing, the ISA and the other party should each write a finalsubmission, which should be exchanged and also sent to the SMO.

e. The SMO will consider the reports and points raised at the hearing, and providewritten advice with respect to the issues outstanding.

Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004

5 Definitions

1) Def Stan 00-56/3 defines Independent Safety Auditor as an individual or team, from anindependent organisation, that undertakes audits and other assessment activities to provideassurance that safety activities comply with planned arrangements, are implemented effectivelyand are suitable to achieve objectives; and whether related outputs are correct, valid and fit forpurpose.

2) This section of the guide expands on this definition by considering the meaning ofindependent, safety audit and safety advice. Each definition is followed by an interpretationcovering any areas of difficulty, and one or more illustrations of the application of thedefinition.

5.1 Independent

5.1.1 Definition

1) Able to provide an expert, professional opinion without vulnerability to commercial, projector other pressure.

5.1.2 Interpretation

1) Informally, the ISA needs to be sufficiently independent that they are sheltered as far aspracticable from pressure to modify their opinion.

2) It is highly desirable for the ISA to be from an organisation totally separate from thecontractor. Where it is not possible to achieve total separation, the IPT should justify theacceptability of the arrangements that they authorise. Arrangements that may give sufficientindependence include the use of companies in the same group as the contractor, but otherwiseindependent, or organisations or departments in the contractor’s firm that are independent toboard level.

3) Contractors may raise commercial or security objections to other companies having accessto their proprietary information. These can normally be overcome by selecting the ISA from anorganisation that does not compete with the contractor, and putting a non-disclosure agreementin place. Even in very specialised areas, it does not follow that anyone competent to carry out aSafety Audit must be a competitor, since competent personnel are likely to be available whohave retired from or left the contractor or a competitor, or who have worked in the same area forMoD. Also, most of the skills that an ISA should have are generic, and the expertise requiredoften does not need to be so domain or technology specific to require a (current or former)competitor.

4) Some contractors may have an in-house safety organisation. Although these organisationsmay be able to provide scrutiny of the contractor’s organisation, they will often be unable toprovide scrutiny of the activities of the IPT or other parties. In addition, they are highly unlikelyto be involved pre-contract due to their lack of commercial independence from the organisationstendering for work. However, in-house organisations may be able to support the work of theISA, which may lead to a reduced need for Safety Audits. This also applies to safety auditingcarried out in-house, or more general auditing to assess conformance with standards such asISO 9001.

Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004

5) The ISA may give general advice to the IPT and the contractor, but will compromise theirindependence if they contribute to the specific safety case: see also Section 5.3.

6) In order not to undermine the ISA’s independent opinion, the IPT should give the ISAsubstantial freedom to conduct the Safety Audit as they judge to be appropriate.

7) The need for independence does not mean that every project in an IPT and everysubcontractor has to have a separate ISA; reference to the requirements of domain specific JSPsshould be made however. A single or small number of ISAs will give a more consistentapproach and will acquire domain-specific knowledge more quickly. Of course the ISA or ISAsshould be independent with respect to all the organisations that they audit, as defined above.

5.1.3 Illustrations

• A major defence contractor asserts that a MoD-appointed ISA is unnecessarybecause it has an in-house safety section with specialist domain knowledge. An ISAshould still be appointed, but their terms of reference should include co-operationwith the safety section to reduce duplication of effort and “audit fatigue”, and also themaking of judgements about the work of the in-house organisation. The ISA shouldbe competent in the domain (see Section 8) although they may not have the samelevel of depth of specialist knowledge as the in-house safety section.

• A contractor resists appointment of an ISA from a competitor because it is notprepared to make proprietary information available. This is a legitimate concern.Even if a non-disclosure agreement is signed, it is impossible to remove theinformation held in the ISA’s head and it might be divulged unwittingly or underpressure from peers. The IPT should negotiate a mutually acceptable ISA from anorganisation that does not compete with the contractor, even though it may then bemore difficult to find an ISA with appropriate domain experience. See also Section 4.

5.2 Safety Audit

5.2.1 Definition

1) Safety Audit is defined in Def Stan 00-56/3 as a systematic and independent examination todetermine whether safety activities comply with planned arrangements, are implementedeffectively and are suitable to achieve objectives; and whether related outputs are correct, validand fit for purpose.

5.2.2 Interpretation

1) Safety Audit consists of the activities that enable an expert, professional, independentopinion to be reached on the safety of the system.

2) The safety case is based on a safety argument. Appendix A shows typical safety argumentsthrough the procurement lifecycle. Typically the overall, top-level argument is that:

Page 12: Guidance for Integrated Project Teams for Use in ... · Document reference STG/181/1/9/1 Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004 Guidance for Integrated Project Teams for Use in Contracting

Page 12 of 75

Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004

The system is safe to use to provide the defined capability because:The meaning of “safe” is defined and correctly captured in the safetyrequirements.The system meets the safety requirements.Safety will be maintained over the system’s lifetime through a culture of safeworking and safety management by the contractor and MoD organisations.The assumptions and prerequisites on which the safety case depends are valid.

3) Safety Audit involves examining each of the components of this safety argument andforming an opinion as to whether it is complete and correct. Safety Audit is targeted at both thecontractor and the IPT. Typically, the ISA will form their opinion on the basis of the following:

• Targeted document reviews.

• Independent assessment and analysis. The ISA may utilise techniques such as diverseanalysis, witnessing, interviewing, traceability checks, vertical slices1 and inspection.

• Audits of safety and development processes. These “traditional” audits check forconformance to relevant policy, standards, the SMS or where appropriate thecombined SEMS, and the safety management plans.

4) Note that Safety Audit consists of considerably more than “traditional” auditing, and in factsuch auditing makes up a fairly small proportion of the ISA’s activities. More detailed scopes ofwork are given in Section 9 below.

5) Note that within the airworthiness sector, the assessment function and the audit and advicefunction are often carried out by different individuals or organisations.

5.2.3 Illustrations

• An ISA Report consists of a detailed audit showing compliance to the requirements ofDef Stan 00-56. This is not sufficient to provide an expert, professional opinion to theIPT. Underlying the ISA role is the fact that safety is fundamentally a property of thesystem, not the process used to develop it. An audit showing simple compliance (i.e.that a process has been carried out) is insufficient and a judgement of theeffectiveness of the process, and how it affects the safety of the system, is alsorequired.

• A contractor refuses to co-operate with the ISA over the provision of data to supportfailure rate claims, on the grounds that analysis of such data is not an audit function.This is not acceptable if the ISA judges the data to be an essential component of thesafety argument. If agreement cannot be reached, the IPT should intervene to obtainthe data.

1 Vertical slice analysis traces the mitigation of a hazard throughout the system lifecycle.

Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004

5.3 Safety advice

5.3.1 Definition

1) General advice on the acceptability of a proposed safety argument, which facilitates theIPT’s or contractor’s decision-making.

5.3.2 Interpretation

1) In order to maintain their independence, the ISA cannot give specific advice or contributedirectly to the safety argument. However, it is legitimate, and helpful in reducing project riskfrom safety matters, for the ISA to give general advice that leads to timely production of asatisfactory safety case. General advice is that which would be given to any broadly similarproject, and corresponds to the assessment guides produced by the statutory regulators (e.g. theHSE’s Approved Codes of Practice and the series of Assessment Guides from the NuclearInstallations Inspectorate). General advice may cover the selection of suitable analysistechniques, the structure of safety arguments and the making of tolerability claims.

2) It is also legitimate for the ISA to provide advice on specific technology, and theconsequences of technology choices, providing that the advice is that which would be given inany broadly similar case.

5.3.3 Illustrations

• The ISA has criticised the contractor’s calculation of numerical tolerability criteria,and the contractor asks the ISA to change it to a form that they would findacceptable. The ISA should not do this, as they would then take ownership of part ofthe safety argument. However, they can illustrate how such a calculation should beperformed, by analogy with other, similar projects. It is also legitimate for them tohelp to derive policy and guidance on safety arguments for classes of systems inassociation with the SMOs (see also Section 6.4).

• A cluster IPT is responsible for several interconnected systems, and asks the ISA forone system to write a safety case for another. This is permissible provided that thescope of the two safety cases is clearly defined and does not overlap. The IPT shouldengage a second ISA to provide an independent opinion on the safety case for theother system.

• In accordance with JSP 454, a small IPT asks the ISA to advise and assist in theestablishment and development of the Safety Management System and Safety Case, inlieu of a dedicated Safety Officer. This is permissible provided that the advice andassistance is general and facilitates the IPT’s own development of the SMS andSafety Case, rather than influencing their development directly.

6 Relationships with other organisations

1) This section describes the organisational interfaces between the ISA and other organisationsconcerned with defence safety. The typical interfaces are illustrated in Figure 1 and discussedbelow. Not all the information flows shown apply to all sectors (for example, only the LSSOcurrently offers an arbitration service). The ISA tasks related to these interfaces are expanded inSection 9 below.

2) The formal communication route between the ISA and the contractor and the OperatingAuthority will be defined in the MoD/ISA contract, and will normally be through the IPT asshown. In practice, however, it is usual for the ISA to communicate directly with these bodies,although the IPT should be kept informed of all discussions and given copies of all writtencommunications.

3) JSPs 430, 454 and 553 include the ISA in the membership of relevant safety committees inaccordance with Def Stan 00-56/3, and all the organisations shown in the figure will berepresented on one or other of these. The meetings of these bodies provide an important meansof liaison between the ISA and the other safety organisations.

Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004

6.1 The IPT

1) Where the IPT directly contracts the ISA, they must respect their independence. Therelationship is similar to contracting an auditor in other areas, such as quality management oraccountancy. An authorised ISA has the right and duty to raise significant concerns directlywith the IPT or contractor, even when outside their agreed scopes of work or terms of reference,and should raise unresolved concerns with the appropriate Authorities and SMO.

2) In the majority of cases, the IPT contracts the ISA on the project. However, the IPT maydirect the contractor to contract the ISA instead. In that case the contractor should employ anISA who is acceptable to the IPT in terms of competence and scope of work as defined in thisguide.

3) The ISA interacts with the IPT as follows:

• Contractually. The ISA contracted by the IPT has to provide value for money and anIPT should monitor ISA performance against the contract accordingly. Selectioncriteria for ISAs are given in Section 7 below.

• Through audits. The ISA audits the IPT’s safety management system and safetyrecords since this forms part of the overall safety argument (see Section 5.2).

• Through the ISA Report. The ISA Reports (and supporting review, analysis and auditrecords) provide the IPT with the independent opinion that they require under MoDsafety policy. This covers safety documents and analysis produced by both thecontractor and the IPT (e.g. as part of requirements definition prior to tendering forthe system).

• By providing advice. The ISA may provide independent, general advice on safetymatters to the IPT (see Section 5.3).

4) The role of the ISA is basically the same for both single-project and cluster IPTs.Experience shows that ISA work for cluster IPTs is project-based and so there is little differencein practice. It is permissible for ISA personnel to give specific advice for some projects whilecarrying out independent safety audit in others; see Section 5.2 and Section 5.3.

6.2 The contractor

1) Where the ISA is contracted by the contractor, the interface will include contractual matters.

2) The contractor’s relationship with the ISA is set out in Def Stan 00-56. Where the ISA iscontracted by the IPT, the ISA should be acceptable to the contractor in terms of competenceand scopes of work. They should also be able to safeguard the contractor’s IPR and confidentialinformation (see Section 5.1.2).

3) The contractor receives from the ISA:

• Reports, including the ISA Report, on reviews, audits and analyses carried out by theISA as part of the Safety Audit function (see Section 5.2).

Page 16 of 75

Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004

• General advice on safety matters (see Section 5.3).

4) The ISA receives from the contractor:

• Access to the information needed to form an independent opinion, including safetycase reports.

• The contractor’s response to ISA reviews and reports. (See also Section 4 para 1.)

6.3 The Operating Authority

1) There may be discussions between the Operating Authority and the ISA over safety issues.Typically communication originates in safety committees, but may also occur if the OperatingAuthority raises a safety concern directly to the IPT.

2) In addition, the Operating Authority may have its own safety body, which may liaise withthe ISA as follows. The Operating Authority’s safety body receives from the ISA:

• Reports, including the ISA Report, on reviews, audits and analyses carried out by theISA as part of the Safety Audit function (see Section 5.2).

• Assistance over safety issues, if requested.

3) The ISA receives from the Operating Authority’s safety body:

• Document reviews.

• Requests for assistance on safety issues.

4) In the air sector, the ISA’s organisational interface is with the Release to Service Authorityrather than the Operating Authority.

6.4 Safety Management Offices

1) The ISA interacts with the relevant SMO in several ways:

• Through the ISA report. Some SMOs may require copies of formal ISA Reports. TheISA Reports show that the IPT has received an independent opinion on the quality ofthe safety case. The reports should also address compliance to safety andenvironmental management policy, both by the contractor and the IPT.

• By receiving advice. The relevant SMO may be able to provide advice on difficultsafety issues and areas of policy uncertainty.

• Over the development of policy and generic advice. The ISA may encounter safetyissues that are not covered by existing policy or guidance. Examples include thedevelopment of safety targets for novel situations. They should liaise with therelevant SMO over such issues and if requested assist the SMO in the formation of

Page 17: Guidance for Integrated Project Teams for Use in ... · Document reference STG/181/1/9/1 Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004 Guidance for Integrated Project Teams for Use in Contracting

Page 17 of 75

Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004

relevant policy and guidance. They should also copy the SMO any advice they giveto the IPT concerning such issues.

• Through the need for arbitration. It is possible that the ISA and the IPT or thecontractor will become deadlocked over some aspect of the safety argument. In theLand sector, the LSSO already offers to provide informal arbitration and advice onthe way forward. The ISA (together with the IPT or contractor) should provide areport on the areas of agreement and disagreement, on which the SMO can base itsadvice.

• Through informal communication. Especially in complex projects, it is helpful if theISA informally briefs the relevant SMO from time to time on project safety progressand any areas of difficulty or disagreement.

6.5 Regulatory/certification bodies

1) In a sector where there is a formal regulation or certification regime, the ISA may interfacewith the regulator or certification body by means of the ISA Report and response to questions.An example is the Naval Authority or the Naval Nuclear Regulatory Panel in the maritimedomain.

6.6 Design Authority

1) Generally, the Design Authority will be either the contractor or the IPT. However theDesign Authority may be another organisation. (This case is not shown on the diagram.) In thiscase, the IPT will need to obtain agreement from the Design Authority to provide access for theISA and generally to co-operate with them.

2) The Design Authority receives from the ISA:

• Reports, including the ISA Report, on reviews, audits and analyses carried out by theISA as part of the Safety Audit function covering the contractor and the DesignAuthority (see Section 5.2).

• General advice on safety matters (see Section 5.3).

3) The ISA receives from the Design Authority:

• Access to the information needed to form an independent opinion, including safetycase reports. (See also Section 4 para 1.)

• The Design Authority’s response to ISA reviews and reports.

Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004

7 Selection of ISAs

1) This section considers the criteria that the IPT should apply when choosing an ISA or ISAteam. The criteria cover personal (or team) attributes of independence (Section 7.1) andcompetence (Section 7.2), and project attributes of complexity (Section 7.3), risk (Section 7.4)and lifecycle phase (Section 7.5). Expertise and competence is discussed further in Section 8.

2) It is preferable to employ an ISA team for most projects. The team enables effective peerreview of the assessment’s outputs and can provide specialist expertise in areas such as humanfactors and software reliability modelling. It also has the practical advantage that it is easier tocover for normal staff absence and attend concurrent meetings. The guidance for the projectcriteria explains the circumstances when an individual may be sufficient.

3) Even when an ISA team is employed, the ISA team leader and preferably all the teammembers should be individually identified.

7.1 Independence

1) The ISA should be independent as defined in Section 5.1.

7.2 Competence

1) The ISA should be competent in Safety Audit skills in the project domain, includingknowledge of the safety policy for the domain. This is discussed in detail in Section 8.

7.3 Project complexity

1) Project complexity can take several forms, including:

• technical complexity. In this case the safety argument is likely to be complex, withseveral types of evidence for many of the safety claims, especially in the area ofsafety of data and commands. Appendix A illustrates the main elements of a complexsafety argument. The ISA should have a higher level of competence including proventechnical skills applying to any technically difficult safety issues (see alsoSection 8.1.1).

• problems with safety evidence. The Safety Audit will require more effort if there areproblems with the safety evidence, such as a lack of historical evidence for safety oflegacy equipment, or if the historical evidence shows that the system does not meetits safety requirements.

• large project scale. For large-scale projects involving “systems-of-systems”, thesafety argument will involve evidence provided by safety cases for systemshierarchies aggregating up to macro platform or super-system level. The ISA shouldhave proven experience in Safety Audit of interrelated safety cases and the safetyissues that arise due to the interactions between systems, including interfacing toISAs for other equipment.

Page 19: Guidance for Integrated Project Teams for Use in ... · Document reference STG/181/1/9/1 Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004 Guidance for Integrated Project Teams for Use in Contracting

Page 19 of 75

Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004

Conversely, for small-scale projects, where the amount of concurrent work andnumber of meetings is reduced, it may be sufficient to employ a competent individualas ISA, rather than a team.

• PFI or foreign acquisition. In this case, the ISA needs to be able to interpret thesafety standards that have been applied to the development of the system in the lightof MoD policy and UK regulatory requirements.

7.4 Safety risk

1) One of the roles of the ISA is to reduce uncertainty in the validity of the safety argument byproviding an authoritative second opinion. For low risk systems, the safety argument will besimpler, quicker and easier to assess, and because of the amount of mitigation, the likelihood offielding an unsafe system is low. Therefore for systems where the risk is low compared to theday to day risks an individual faces, the IPT could consider:

• the use of an individual ISA rather than an ISA team

• less specific experience as an ISA or in the application domain

7.5 Lifecycle phase

1) The major safety effort is typically during the assessment, demonstration and manufactureacquisition phases. During the other phases less safety work is likely to be needed, and hencethe ISA team can be reduced in size.

2) If the equipment is near the end of its service life, a much simpler safety argument is likelyto be appropriate, centring on maintaining the current level of safety, and on issues of disposal.Safety criteria will be informed by the relatively short “time at risk”, and design changes, if any,are likely to be of low risk. In this case, a limited Safety Audit by an individual is likely to besufficient.

3) Detailed scopes of work for each lifecycle phase are given in Section 9.

Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004

8 Expertise and competence

1) It is obviously of the utmost importance that the ISA should be suitably qualified andexperienced. This section describes competence criteria for ISAs, and presents guidance onassessment against the criteria. Where the Safety Audit is carried out by a team, the team as awhole should provide the necessary level of competence.

8.1 Competence criteria

1) There are three types of competence required to assess the suitability of an ISA:

• technical competence—safety and technical knowledge (of the application area andtechnology) required to support the activities of a Safety Audit (this is described inSection 8.1.1)

• auditing competence—skills necessary to perform the Safety Audit, i.e. to performthe activities that enable an expert, professional opinion to be reached on the safety ofthe system, as defined in Section 5.2 above (this is described in Section 8.1.2)

• behavioural competence—qualities and attributes of behaviour and character neededto successfully perform the task (this is described in Section 8.1.3)

8.1.1 Technical competence

1) Technical competence covers the knowledge and experience needed to underpin theactivities of the ISA. This has two aspects:

• Technical competence in Safety Audit independent of the specific application domainand technology used.

• Technical competence in the application domain, where an understanding of thespecific technologies used and the context of their use extends the ability tosuccessfully audit the safety of the system.

2) Technical competence in Safety Audit includes:

• Knowledge and experience of the legal and safety regulatory framework.

• Understanding of the principles and concepts of safety management, e.g. ALARP,hazards, risk and safety requirements.

• Knowledge and experience of techniques and methods to determine and analysesafety issues of importance and to make a judgement on the safety of a system.Examples of such knowledge include safety analysis techniques such as Hazops andFault Tree Analysis, and the ability to estimate the necessary resources to performsuch analyses and to judge the scope and depth of analyses carried out.

Page 21: Guidance for Integrated Project Teams for Use in ... · Document reference STG/181/1/9/1 Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004 Guidance for Integrated Project Teams for Use in Contracting

Page 21 of 75

Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004

• Knowledge and experience of specific standards, guidelines or codes of practicerelevant for the project, e.g. Def Stan 00-56 and the applicable safety managementJSPs.

3) Technical competence in the application domain includes:

• Safety engineering knowledge and experience appropriate to the application area andtechnology, including safety practices appropriate to the organisation and applicationarea.

• Engineering knowledge and experience appropriate to the application area (e.g. airtraffic control) and technology (e.g. digital network communication).

• Experience of other systems engineering disciplines including human factorsintegration, integrated logistic support and availability, reliability and maintainabilitywould also be advantageous.

4) In the ship sector, demonstration of technical competence requires that all key members ofthe ISA’s team should possess or be working toward an SSMO training certificate.

8.1.2 Auditing competence

1) As discussed in Section 8.1.1, technical competence underpins the knowledge needed tocarry out a Safety Audit, independently of the specific activities being performed. By contrast,auditing competence considers the specific activities performed as part of a Safety Audit (thatis, document review, process audits and independent analyses). This includes the ability to:

• determine the scope and objectives of the Safety Audit

• develop and maintain a plan for the activities that comprise a Safety Audit

• collect and analyse objective evidence to support a judgement about the safety of thesystem. This may include: a) interviewing personnel at all levels; b) examining andreviewing documents; c) observing activities

• verify the accuracy of information gathered in interviews by observation,measurements and records analyses

• identify, record and investigate clues suggesting possible problems

• carry out formal process audits against relevant standards, plans, etc.

• make a judgement on the safety of a system

• document findings including producing formal ISA Reports

• verify that any actions necessary to address the results of the Safety Audit activitiesare appropriately completed

Page 22 of 75

Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004

8.1.3 Behavioural competence

1) Behavioural competence describes the attributes of conduct and character needed to performthe role of ISA with efficacy. These include:

• interpersonal skills

• competence in communicating at all levels of the organisation

• interviewing skills

• reporting and presentation skills

• integrity and trustworthiness

8.2 Assessment of competence

1) The assessment of competence of ISAs should be in terms of the criteria described inSection 8.1. Where a project requires a team approach, it is the balance of skills that isimportant, and the team leader should demonstrate the ability properly to manage and co-ordinate the team. Individual team members should provide the in-depth knowledge that isrequired.

2) The IPT should ask potential ISAs for evidence of competence, supported by verifiableexamples, as part of their proposal when bidding for an ISA role. Typically, evidence todemonstrate the competencies is based on training, qualifications and experience. Proven abilityis likely to provide the best indicator; and appropriate references to that effect should beobtained wherever possible.

3) Potential ISAs may present evidence of competence of three types, according to who doesthe assessment:

• Self-assessment, i.e. the ISA presents evidence to demonstrate the competencies aspart of their proposal. This will have to be assessed by the IPT on a case-by-casebasis.

• Organisational assessment, i.e. the ISA is assessed by their organisation according toa scheme such as the IEE/BCS Competency Guidelines for Safety-Related SystemPractitioners [1] or the Network Rail ISA Accreditation Scheme. The IPT should askfor any third-party audit of the scheme, which might be an ISO 9001 audit in the caseof the IEE/BCS scheme, or Network Rail’s audit in the case of their scheme.

• Assessment by a third-party independent organisation that designs a scheme andindependently assesses the ISA. Currently the only third-party scheme in the UK isthe CASS (Conformity Assessment of Safety-related Systems) scheme, and there arevery few registrants under the scheme.

Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004

9 Scopes of work

1) This section sets out scopes of work for ISA services. The Safety Audit aspect of the ISArole is defined in Section 5.2 and the generic Safety Advice aspect is defined in Section 5.3. Theorganisational interfaces with other organisation are described in Section 6.

2) The ISA produces a number of documents during the course of the Safety Audit, and theseare listed in Section 9.1.

3) Detailed scopes of work covering the CADMID lifecycle phases are tabulated inSection 9.2. The scopes of work cover both safety and environmental protection. Where thetable entries refer to the environment in which the system operates, the term “operatingenvironment” is used.

4) The particular issues relating to legacy systems are described in Section 9.3.

5) Section 9.4 describes how the ISA work items change with the maturity of the contractor’scombined SEMS, Section 9.5 addresses the variation with safety integrity requirements, andSection 9.6 discusses the impact of other procurement models.

9.1 General ISA documentation

1) Irrespective of the lifecycle phase, the ISA should produce the following documents:

Deliverable Comment

ISA Plan This should cover: the scope of the ISA work; aprogramme of work related to major project milestones;management and control including ISA staff competency;the strategy for the audit; and discussion of any specialissues. It should be updated at reasonable intervals, forexample at the start of a new project phase.

Progress reports Reports summarising progress against the ISA Plan ascontracted. These will be produced according to thedemands of the project but may, typically, be on aquarterly basis.

Page 24: Guidance for Integrated Project Teams for Use in ... · Document reference STG/181/1/9/1 Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004 Guidance for Integrated Project Teams for Use in Contracting

Page 24 of 75

Version 1.0 dated 1 June, 2004

Deliverable Comment

ISA Reports These should be produced prior to major programmemilestones, such as the start of trials and acceptance intoservice. Normally they will follow a new version of thesafety case. They should typically contain: an assessmentof the safety argument; a short summary of the ISA’sactivities since the previous report; references to thedocuments produced; references to the documentsexamined; a discussion of any particular safety issues;and conclusions and recommendations on the safety ofthe activities covered by the safety case. Reference to therequirements of domain-specific JSPs should be made.

In some sectors (e.g. the ship sector), the ISA Report isincluded within the Safety Case Report.

In the air sector, the ISA Report is a customer report thatinforms Release to Service and provides crew advice.

Document reviews The ISA’s reviews of safety documents should bereported.

Audit reports Safety audits should be documented.

Analysis reports Any analyses carried out by the ISA should bedocumented.

Papers giving advice Advice should always be generic (see Section 5.3).Advice may be given verbally, but substantive adviceshould be documented in written papers.

2) According to the sector, the ISA may be asked to sign documents produced by thecontractor to indicate that they have been reviewed or endorsed by the ISA. The relevant safetymanagement JSP will provide details. The contract with the ISA should make it clear if this isrequired.
