Les cours SafEUr sont divisés en différentes Unités, chacune contenant plusieurs Eléments.
1. Unit 1: Introduction to Functional Safety Management
The first training unit introduces the subject of Functional Safety, with a particular focus on issues related to the different existing safety standards. Basic knowledge about the complete product/system life cycle is also treated, with the aim to sensitize trainees for the importance of safety aspects in all life cycle phases.
1. International Standards
This element gives an overview about the related international standards.
2. Product Life Cycle
This element deals with the fundamental Functional Safety Terminology that must be understood in order to be able to correctly read and apply Functional Safety standards, methods and tools.
This unit investigates major management aspects of functional safety engineering on organisational and project level. The definition and management of so-called Safety Cases assumes a central role in the functional safety management activities, as safety cases are at the root of modern functional safety engineering methods.
1. Safety management on organisational and project level
This element includes skills needed to achieve independent organisational control and to perform project specific work and responsibilities, as defined in processes covering the whole safety life cycle.
2. Safety Case Definition
This element includes requirements to collect evidences and make necessary analysis to construct a safety case.
3. Overview of Required Engineering and V&V Methods
This element investigates methods for engineering, validation and verification (V&V) that are required to implement functional safety on a project / product / system level.
4. Establish and Maintain Safety Planning
This unit is the essential complement of Unit 2, i.e., the unit covering the management aspects of functional safety. Its main objective is to bridge the gap between the theoretical standards, and the practical implementation of the latter’s rules and requirements. This is considered the main particularity that distinguishes SafEUr from com-parable trainings in the same field.
1. System Hazard Analysis and Safety Concept
This element looks at the integration of safety aspects in system design and test.
3. Integrating Safety in Hardware Design & Test
This element focuses on hardware issues in system design and test.
4. Integrating Safety in Software Design & Test
This element focuses on software issues in system design and test.
This unit addresses reliability and safety engineering aspects for integrated product design, and covers as well the required safety control mechanisms in production and maintenance.
1. Integration of Reliability in Design to Enhance Functional Safety
2. Safety in the Production, Operation and Maintenance
This unit covers legal and liability aspects as well as regulatory and qualification requirements.

1. International Standards
This element gives an overview about the related international standards.
2. Product Life Cycle
This element introduces aspects of the Product/System Life Cycle and their relationships with Functional Safety Management and the Functional Safety Life Cycle with respect to Processes, Roles and Stakeholders, Organisations, and Risk Management. It also shows how the individual training elements are linked to these aspects.
3. TerminologyThis element deals with the fundamental Functional Safety Terminology that must be understood in order to be able to correctly read and apply Functional Safety standards, methods and tools.

This element investigates methods for engineering, validation and verification (V&V) that are required to implement functional safety on a project / product / system level.
4. Establish and Maintain Safety Planning
An essential element of introducing standard compliant function safety management is that the implementation of safety plans is monitored, and that the progress is tracked and reviewed. A safety plan documents the process used to analyse system safety and enumerates the mitigation techniques being used to ensure safe system operation.
Unit 3: Engineering aspects of Functional Safety
This unit is the essential complement of Unit 2, i.e., the unit covering the management aspects of functional safety. Its main objective is to bridge the gap between the theoretical standards, and the practical implementation of the latter’s rules and requirements. This is considered the main particularity that distinguishes SafEUr from com-parable trainings in the same field.
1. System Hazard Analysis and Safety Concept
This element addresses the building blocks at the very basis of every functional safety engineering project: the identification of hazards, and the establishment of a safety concept.
2. Integrating Safety in System Design & TestThis element looks at the integration of safety aspects in system design and test.
3. Integrating Safety in Hardware Design & Test
This element focuses on hardware issues in system design and test.
4. Integrating Safety in Software Design & Test
This element focuses on software issues in system design and test.
Unit 4: Safety on Product Level
This unit addresses reliability and safety engineering aspects for integrated product design, and covers as well the required safety control mechanisms in production and maintenance.
1. Integration of Reliability in Design to Enhance Functional Safety
This element includes aspects of how reliability engineering can be integrated into the design process. It deals with methods of establishing the links between top safety events and the design parameters of a given problem, as well as the link between the modelling of the physical behaviour of the system and the design parameters.
2. Safety in the Production, Operation and Maintenance
This element includes safety aspects in productions systems, including safe start and stop modesn and safety control specifications.
Unit 5: Legal Aspects of Safety
This unit covers legal and liability aspects as well as regulatory and qualification requirements.
1. Integration of Reliability in Design to Enhance Functional Safety
This element addresses the legal aspects of functional safety and the liability of the involved persons and organizations. It examines both the personal responsibility and the product liability. It includes aspects of how to interpret the requirements regarding functional safety in terms of personal responsibility as well as product related safety.
2. Regulatory & Qualification RequirementsThis element includes skills, responsibilities and communication between different stakeholders to certify, qualify and/or license safety-critical software intensive system.
