Abstract
The Virtual Chapter of the International System Safety Society (ISSS) has had an interesting round of discussions during the past few months, some of which might be of interest to all members of the Society. These topics have been rattling around in my head since I was president of the Society in 1990, but have never seemed to get traction with others. I was thrown back into thinking about these issues at the last International System Safety Conference (ISSC) when I discovered that several years ago, the G48 Committee published a new “commercial version” of MIL-STD-882 and that this new version is now owned — and marketed — by SAE. Not only is the standard now the property of SAE, but so is the G48 Committee! SAE has begun advertising and promoting the idea that it, rather than the ISSS, is the owner and source for all things related to system safety engineering — selling the new standard, as well as papers written by folks who I consider to be key ISSS members, and providing training and workshops on system safety engineering.
