Offshore Training pack

What is a safety case?


Operators of offshore installations want to be sure that their operations are safe and do not expose their people or their business to unacceptable levels of risk; Plant modifications, variations on operating conditions and new ownership mean that the risk picture is changing; and Regulators and other stakeholders ask you to justify the continuing operation of the installation through safety cases.

Risk assessment Flow Chart


HAZID: Identify potential hazards Sectionalisation: Review PFDs, UFDs & P&IDs to separate the process and utility system to various isolatable sections.

Causal Analysis: Identify hazardous events associated with accidents

Frequency Analysis and Event Tree Analysis: Frequency of each accidental event (top event) and branch probabilities are assigned to event tree and outcome event frequency are estimated.

Consequence Modelling: Using the software. The physical effects and damages for each outcome event are estimated

Impact Assessment: Analyse the fire and explosion impact to structures and equipment.

Risk Assessment Fatality Estimation: Determine the risk to personnel from each outcome event. Risk Summation and Risk Ranking: Sum the risks to individual from each outcome events for hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon hazards and identify the dominant risk contributors. Risk Assessment: Compare the risk levels against Individual Risk Acceptability Criteria to determine whether additional measures are necessary to reduce risks to ALARP.

Sreejith

Risk reducing measures: Apply enhanced or additional control measures and mitigation measures.

Sreejith

Offshore Training pack

Safety Case-Definition
A documented body of evidence that provides a convincing and valid argument that a system is adequately safe for a given application in a given environment

Safety Case exists for Nuclear, Offshore, Aviation, and Rail industries

Sreejith

Offshore Training pack

Safety Case Origin


(post 1988 Piper Alpha explosion)

UK Offshore Operators, says Cullen, must adopt this new philosophy on safety, producing a Safety Case'. This includes continuous hazard assessment over the plant's lifetime, fault tree analysis, which looks at all the ways an error could develop, and takes account of ways that 'human factors' contribute to disasters
Sreejith Offshore Training pack

Safety Case Evolution Timeline

Forthwith: Immediate, at once Lord Cullen recommended that the 4 (FEA, ESSA, EERA,SIGA) be carried out by the offshore operators immediately before the 1992 safety case regulation was released. Sreejith Offshore Training pack

Why Offshore Safety Case?


Operators of offshore installations want to be sure that their operations are safe and do not expose their people or their business to unacceptable levels of risk; Plant modifications, variations on operating conditions and new ownership mean that the risk picture is changing; and Regulators and other stakeholders ask you to justify the continuing operation of the installation through safety cases. Regulatory compliance is essential to your business
Sreejith Offshore Training pack

Safety Case
First SC Regulations came into force in 1992; Cullen Forthwith studies:
A Fire Risk Analysis; An assessment of the risk of ingress of smoke or gas into the accommodation; A review of the ability of emergency systems to withstand severe accident conditions; and An evacuation, escape and rescue analysis.
Sreejith Offshore Training pack

The UK HSE Offshore Installations (Safety Case) Regulations 2005


Key changes introduced by the 2005 Regulations include: -The requirement for duty holders to send an early design notification, instead of a design safety case, to HSE when establishing a new production installation; -Duty holders are required to carry out a thorough and fundamental review of their safety cases at least every five years, or as directed by HSE; -The present requirement to re-submit safety cases every three years has been removed (inspectors will be checking to see that safety cases are being kept up to date through inspection); -New duties require licensees to ensure anyone they appoint as an operator is capable of fulfilling their legal responsibilities for safety; -Combined operations safety cases have been replaced by notifications, which do not need HSE acceptance; and -The Offshore Installations (Safety Representatives and Safety Committees) Regulations have been amended to extend consultation with safety representatives to reviewing and revising a safety case, as well as preparing one.

What is wrong at present in oil & gas industry?


Unacceptable level of process safety related dangerous occurrences especially in relation to loss of containment incidents; Major hazard industry measured safety performance using LTIs!! Critical systems deteriorate over time without warning until they fail catastrophically; and Audits tend to be too infrequent and workplace inspections focus on personal safety.
