Subject: NASA Policy for Safety and Mission Success
Responsible Office: Office of Safety and Mission Assurance
1. POLICY
It is NASA policy to--
a. Protect the public, NASA workforce, high-value equipment and property, and the
environment from potential harm as a result of NASA activities and operations by
factoring safety as an integral feature of programs, projects, technologies, operations,
and facilities.
b. Establish and maintain independent lines of communications for unrestricted flow of
information and adjudication of dissenting opinions concerning any matters affecting the
ability to meet the safety and mission success requirements and criteria. Attachment A
contains a list of the typical elements included within Safety and Mission Assurance
(SMA).
c. Hold NASA leaders, managers, supervisors, and employees accountable for safety
and mission success within their assigned areas of responsibility.
d. Define and document both safety and mission success requirements and criteria in
NASA programs and projects as a foundation for the design and development of safe
and reliable program hardware and software.
e. Require all acquisition instruments as specified by the NASA Federal Acquisition
Regulation Supplement to appropriately address SMA processes so that the responses
to these instruments describe the approach to be used to implement SMA and to
manage the associated safety and mission success risk factors.
f. Verify and validate life-cycle implementation of the SMA processes and any related
safety and mission success requirements through ongoing surveillance of program,
project, and contractor processes.
