Describe what is MORT? What Federal agency uses MORT as a basis for their System Safety Effort?

Solution

MORT is simply a diagram which arranges safety program elements in an orderly and logical manner. It presents a schematic representation of a dynamic, idealized (universal) safety system model using Fault Tree Analysis methodology.

The first generation MORT text introduced four key innovative features basic to the MORT program: 1. An analytical \"logic tree\" or diagram from which MORT derives its name, \"Management Oversight and Risk Tree.\" This diagram arranges safety program elements in an orderly, coherent, and logical manner. 2. Schematic representation of a dynamic idealized or \"universal\" safety system model by using Fault Tree Analysis methodology. 3. Methodology for analyzing a specific safety program through a process of evaluating the adequacy of implementation of the individual safety system elements. 4. A collection of philosophical statements and general advice relative to the application of the MORT system safety concepts and listed criteria by which to make an assessment of the affectivity of their application. A major MORT premise is that the MORT safety system is congruous (i.e., harmonious) with a goal-oriented, high performance, complex management system.

The National Council of State Housing Agencies (NCSHA) Federal agency uses MORT as a basis for their System Safety Effort.
