Abstract
This guide leads through the System-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) step by step. While it especially addresses safety engineers with their efforts to design and assess complex, socio-technical systems everyone interested in learning how to conduct STPA will benefit. Throughout, a continuous example from the autonomous work machine domain illustrates the STPA process. The guide introduces best practices from literature and personal experiences, highlighting deviations to complement the official STPA Handbook effectively. Further, it introduces optional extensions to STPA, that allow a focused analysis of safety and security, and human machine interactions. The Risk Priority Number approach is introduced as a method to identify the most critical results of STPA.
