rcm2 limited, in conjunction with Origin Consulting (York) limited, is pleased to announce this one-day hands-on training course on System Safety Case development using the Goal Structuring Notation (GSN) and ISCaDE (Integrated Safety Case Development Environment).

What is GSN and How Does ISCaDE™ Help?
GSN is a graphical notation that can be used for presenting system safety arguments. It offers an explicit means of representing the decomposition of safety requirements into claims, and support for these claims from available safety evidence. ISCaDE™ (Integrated Safety Case Development Environment) is a unique networked software environment that helps users to audit or build a high confidence safety case efficiently. ISCaDE™ combines the features of DOORS multi-user, multi-access object-oriented database with graphical presentation capabilities in an integrated environment. It enables traceability of safety case arguments to hazard log information and to certification requirements arising from standards.

Who is the course for?
Our course is suitable for those whose roles involve System Safety/Reliability Management, Assurance and Risk Mitigation, Safety Engineering and Analysis, Hazard Management, Compliance and Certification.

What will you learn in just one day?
This one-day course introduces the GSN method with two case studies and one group exercise. The attendees are introduced to the ISCaDE™ GSN software package and have an opportunity to use this tool to develop a GSN diagrams within the day’s group exercises. In particular, attendees will be shown how it is possible to explicitly link Goal Structures in ISCaDE™ to existing safety documents, requirements and safety standards (such as Defence Standard 00-56 Issue 3 and the HSE Railway Safety Case Assessment Criteria).

Who are the speakers?
