Activity Information Define Safety Requirements
DescriptionSafety requirements specify steps taken to protect human life and limb during human/product interaction. They must reflect any industry-specific regulatory requirements. These requirements deal with any hazardous element of a product that is made up of, or controlled by software. If the software is part of a system, these software safety requirements are defined as part of the overall system safety requirements. Grouping these safety requirements stresses their importance and aids in their tracking, design, development, testing, and validation. While it is true that not all software projects have safety issues that need to be addressed, it is recommended to consider safety requirements early in any project.
