MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS SCHEDULE 10 - COMBINED OPERATIONS - INSPECTION TEMPLATE

Note on Purpose of Template

This document is to be used by inspectors to record the inspection of a combined operations notification submitted under SCR2015 against the requirements
of Schedule 10, which outlines the ‘Particulars to be included in a notification of combined operations’. It has been decided that this will be conducted by the
focal point inspector for the production installation and the non-production installation, and by exception the inspector may refer the notification to a topic
specialist inspector to comment where he/she feels it is necessary to explore the details of the submission further.

The document is drafted to complement the guidance being produced to support the regulations, as well as existing topic sector guidance. Requirements
identified by green text are new to SCR2015, those in black text were present in SCR05.

installation
 Principle 30
A systematic approach should be taken to identifying and assessing any additional major accident hazards arising from combined operations. These
can be new hazards or changes to existing hazards
 Principle 31
The measures for emergency response should be appropriate to the particular combined operation

 The SMS should encompass the marine, helicopter and diving activities of the installation, and relevant aspects of combined
operations. The areas of interface between the SMS of these operations, and the SMS of the installation, need to be identified and
assessed for clarity, to ensure potential hazard have been identified due to duplication, commission or omission.
