Automotive Functional Safety Awarness Training

Automotive Functional Safety Awareness Training

What keeps a car safe when something goes wrong?

Modern vehicles rely on software, electronics, and complex systems. When a failure happens, the system must still behave in a safe and predictable way. This is what functional safety is about.

This course gives you a clear and practical introduction to Automotive Functional Safety, based on the ISO 26262 standard. You will understand how safety is built into the development process, from early concept to production, and why it matters for everyone involved.

This training is not only for engineers. It is designed for all teams working in automotive projects, because safety depends on many roles working together.

What you will learn

• The basics of functional safety and why it is important
• A simple overview of ISO 26262 and how it works
• Key concepts like hazards, ASIL levels, and safety goals
• How safety is applied during the product development lifecycle
• How different departments such as engineering, quality, purchasing, and management contribute to safety
• Why functional safety is not just paperwork, but a way to prevent risks and improve product quality

Why this course is important

Functional safety is a shared responsibility. It is not only the job of a safety expert.

A project manager can affect safety through planning.
