Integrated safety management requires that safety be integrated with basic management and engineering practices. The objective of this work was to add safety to the EIA‐731 Systems Engineering Capability Model Appraisal Method and thereby gain simultaneous and integrated findings. Safety appraisal information was gleaned from the Department of Energy, the Department of Interior, the Private Sector, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and other sources. This information was cast as a series of maturity‐oriented questions and added to EIA‐731. The integrated questionnaire was then tailored for application at Yellowstone National Park and the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory. Results are not available at this writing due to delays in the scheduling of the appraisal, but will be included in a follow‐up paper. The integrated Safety Systems Engineering Capability Model Appraisal incorporates general safety principles that are applicable to any industry interested in project management, systems engineering and safety.
