This official Department of Defense (DoD) standard, originally published in 1969, provides detailed guidance on system safety including the risk assessment process. It has been updated numerous times since and MIL‐STD 882E, 11 May 2012 is the current version at the time of this writing. The standard is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies within the DoD and it is used by many contractors and others outside the DoD.

MIL‐STD‐882 is one of the earliest US standards on risk assessment that was publicly available. General requirements of the standard include the identification and documentation of hazards, and assessment and documentation of risk. The standard defines severity categories and probability levels for application in a risk matrix. Below are all eight system safety elements of MIL‐STD‐882E.

1 Document the System Safety Approach

2 Identify and Document Hazards

3 Assess and Document Risk

4 Identify and Document Risk Mitigation Measures

5 Reduce Risk

6 Verify, Validate and Document Risk Reduction

7 Accept Risk and Document

8 Manage Life‐Cycle Risk

This standard clearly includes a significant risk assessment provision and it is one of the earliest US standards to do so as mentioned previously. It has been referred to by safety professionals for decades.
