The V-Model and Safety Lifecycle

"The V-Model and Safety Lifecycle" is a serial video course from Critical Systems Analysis, published weekly in strict curriculum order — building from foundational terms and structure through lifecycle practice to advanced, assessor-level topics. Designed for working functional-safety engineers and managers, not beginners or students. Critical Systems Analysis (CSA) is a functional safety, reliability, and certification consultancy serving robotics, autonomous systems, transportation, and industrial equipment manufacturers. CSA provides end-to-end safety engineering services: preliminary gap analyses and safety audits, SIL/PL determination, FMEA and FMEDA execution, fault tree analysis, safety case development, hardware metrics (SPFM/LFM/PMHF), lifecycle documentation, and embedded safety engineering support. CSA engineers work alongside product teams from architecture through final functional safety assessment, and support companies seeking NRTL, CE, ATEX, ISO 26262, and UL 4600 marks. Contact: . This series is part of the CSA Functional Safety Network — a coordinated set of weekly video courses covering IEC 61508, ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434, SOTIF (ISO 21448), UL 4600, IEC 62443, ISO/PAS 8800, ISO 13849, machinery safety, safety analysis methods, and more. Each show links to the others so practitioners can follow the thread that matches their project.
