From: Shirley Tarantino Intertek [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2009 5:44 PM To: Shirley Tarantino Intertek Subject: IEEE PSES meeting on Tuesday, September 22, 2009: Hazard Tracking System - Purpose, Design & Implementation Colleagues and Friends, IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society Santa Clara Valley Chapter "Your new product has new technology, new applications and new HAZARDS. Do you know ALL your hazards and controls? Can you prove it?" Meeting Date: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 Dinner: 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. Socialize with your colleagues and tonight’s speaker at: El Torito Mexican Restaurant, 2950 Lakeside Drive, Santa Clara, CA 95054 (408-727-4426) -- just two blocks north of the meeting site. No RSVP required. Program: 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. No admission charge. Open to the public. Topic: Hazard Tracking System – Purpose, Design & Implementation Product safety standards are moving towards using “Hazard Based Safety Engineering” principles, instead of prescriptive constructions. For that approach to be feasible, hazards and controls must be identified and tracked. In fact, requirements for a hazard database already exist in some military standards. This presentation will describe a possible approach to designing and implementing a hazard tracking database. The need for clear and complete information that is readily available, and the expected use and outcomes of such a system will be discussed. If you already have put together a similar database for your organization or projects, you will want to see this systems-based approach to hazard tracking and risk evaluation. If you have not, it is even more important to attend. Speaker: Jon Derickson Jon Derickson is Product Safety Manager at BAE Systems, leading a team of engineers responsible for system safety of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and other tracked and wheeled vehicle programs within the US Combat Systems Line of Business. His other responsibilities include identifying, assessing and/or developing product safety technologies, tools, techniques, and/or processes for implementation within BAE. Jon planned and executed system safety and design for environment programs for segments of the US Army’s Future Combat System (FCS). The FCS is a highly complex integration of advanced sensor technologies with a family of manned and unmanned vehicle systems. Specific concerns included an armed robotic vehicle and manned ground vehicles with a medical treatment platform planning to use remote surgery systems. Jon has an MS in Computer Engineering from San Jose State University and a BS >from Cal Poly. He has won several awards, including the Presidents Achievement Award from the International System Safety Society and an award >from BAE Systems related to development of hazardous voltage safety policies, procedures and training. He is a member of the System Safety Society and the Society of Automotive Engineers, a PE in Safety and Certified Safety Professional.
