- MIL-STD-882 "System Safety Program Requirements"/"Standard Practice for System Safety"
- AS 61508 "Functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems"
- RTCA/DO-178 "Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification"
- Def Stan 00-56 Safety Management Requirements for Defence Systems
- +SAFE - A Safety Extension to CMMI

Other publications (including guidelines, standards, manuals, textbooks, books, reports and handbooks) are referenced throughout the Savive web site where they may help in understanding the case study or topic being discussed. For example, MIL-STD-1629 "Procedures for Performing a Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis" is referenced in the discussion on Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
