Applied FuSa

The Role of the FSM

26 Aug 2025

Description

Hello and welcome to a new episode of “Applied FuSa,” the podcast for FuSa pragmatists!The role of the Functional Safety Manager (FSM) established itself shortly after the first version of ISO 26262 was published in 2011. Usually, this role is explicitly assigned in safety-relevant projects—meaning a single employee takes on the role of FSM.And yet, to our surprise, the role of the FSM is not defined anywhere in ISO 26262.“What??”You heard that right: The role of Functional Safety Manager does not exist in ISO 26262. But there is the role of Safety Manager.“Isn’t that the same thing?”No, not really.In this episode, we will compare the role of the Safety Manager with the widely established role of the FSM. We will also look at if and how ISO 26262 defines responsibilities and accountabilities for work products like the Safety Plan, the Development Interface Agreement (DIA), and the Safety Case.
