When system complexity grows, safety work cannot live in isolated reviews and spreadsheets.
Distributed architectures, degraded operating conditions, multiple suppliers and demanding delivery programmes make system safety a continuous engineering responsibility. Risks need clear ownership, decisions need rationale and verification must remain connected to the original hazard.
WHAT PICTOR DELIVERS
Six areas of practical support.
01
System Safety Programme Management
Establish and run the safety programme so activities, milestones and evidence stay aligned with the delivery plan.
02
Hazard Analysis and Risk Management
Identify hazards, structure the risk register and keep mitigations owned, tracked and verifiable.
03
Requirements and Verification Traceability
Connect safety requirements to design decisions, verification activities and acceptance criteria.
04
Safety-Critical Architecture Support
Review and strengthen architecture decisions, fail-safe strategies and degraded-mode behaviour.
05
Documentation, Reviews and Customer Dialogue
Prepare the material that carries a safety argument through internal reviews, audits and customer scrutiny.
06
Workshops, Methods and Internal Capability
Build practical method competence in the teams who have to maintain the work after the engagement.
TRACEABILITY
From scope to evidence, without gaps.
Every deliverable stays connected to the hazard it addresses and the verification that closes it.
01
Scope
Product, programme, roles and applicable requirements.
02
Risk
Safety hazards, cybersecurity risks and prioritisation.
03
Architecture
Requirements, design decisions and mitigations.
04
Verification
Reviews, tests, actions and acceptance criteria.
05
Evidence
Traceable records, technical documentation and decision rationale.
WORK PRODUCTS
Named deliverables, not slideware.
Engagement models
Focused review
An independent view of a defined risk, process or architecture question.
Interim leadership
Operational ownership during a capacity or competence gap.
Programme support
Embedded support across selected lifecycle stages.
- System Safety Programme Plan (SSPP)
- Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA)
- System Hazard Analysis (SHA)
- Operating & Support Hazard Analysis (O&SHA)
- Risk register with owner, mitigation and verification links
- Safety requirements and architecture decision rationale
- Review and audit preparation material
- Safety status reporting and governance cadence
QUESTIONS
System safety, answered plainly.
NEXT STEP
Bring senior safety ownership into the programme.
A 30-minute scoping call is usually enough to see where the gaps are.
