This course is designed to give you a clear, step-by-step understanding of HARA as per ISO 26262, with real automotive examples and practical insights from industry experience. We begin with a brief but important introduction to Item Definition, because a strong HARA always starts with correctly defining system boundaries, interfaces, operating modes, and environmental conditions. Many safety issues originate from an incomplete item definition — and this course ensures you avoid that mistake.
From there, we move systematically through each step of HARA. Each concept is explained using practical automotive scenarios such as braking systems, steering, lighting functions, and driver assistance features. You will learn not just the theory — but how to think like a Functional Safety engineer.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Perform a complete HARA independently
- Assign S, E, and C with proper technical reasoning
- Derive ASIL levels correctly
- Formulate meaningful and compliant Safety Goals
