MANAGEMENT SYSTEM & VERIFICATION – SAFETY CASE ASSESSMENT TEMPLATE

Work Instructions

Topic specialists should use this template to record their assessment of the Management System and Verification aspects of a safety case, including the Corporate Major Accident Prevention Policy (CMAPP). Assessment should be against the requirements of SCR2015. Management System aspects that relate specifically to environmental management are excluded. They are covered in a separate Environmental Operational Control template.

Exemplar Approach - This template should be used in accordance with the scope of the Assessment Instructions when the topic is included for assessment. An exemplar approach may be sufficient if some material has been previously accepted and has not materially changed. For example a CMAPP or SEMS from an existing, accepted safety case.

The template is one of a series covering all assessment topics, which together form a complete record of the safety case assessment and create evidence of how the decision to accept the case, or not, was reached. The templates identify the specific regulatory requirements of SCR2015 for the topic and indicate what the competent authority expects to find within a safety case to demonstrate that those requirements are met. The template complements the published guidance that supports the regulations and topic sector guidance. The templates are available to promote transparency and assist duty holders in drafting submissions.

Non Acceptance Issue - A Non Acceptance Issue (NAI) is a deficiency in the demonstration made within a safety case, which, if not resolved, will prevent the case from being accepted under the relevant statutory provisions. Non Acceptance Issues must be sent via the portal to the duty holder requiring them to be dealt with in the appropriate manner, giving the duty holder a clear understanding of how to address the deficiency. Clarification - A Clarification is an explanation provided by a duty holder on request during assessment to enable the assessing Inspectors to be confident of their interpretation of the information in a safety case. Clarifications are a routine part of assessment work and should be raised with a duty holder promptly. Clarifications do not require formal communications. Communicating by telephone and email is sufficient. A meeting between the duty holder and relevant topic specialists may also be appropriate in some circumstances for clarifications. Clarification is not a first stage before raising non-acceptance issues. Any aspect that could credibly lead to a Non-Acceptance Issue should be raised as such in the first instance.

Relevant Pre-Existing Guidance

APOSC Principles:

Factual information

Principle 1 The factual information should meet the SCR2015 requirements and provide sufficient detail to support the arguments made in the case

Management of health and safety

Principle 2 The safety case should demonstrate that the management system is adequate to ensure compliance with the relevant statutory provisions

Principle 3 The management system should show an appropriate level of control during each phase of the installation life cycle, including design, construction, commissioning, operation, decommissioning and dismantlement

Control of major accident hazards - Major accident hazard identification

Principle 4 A systematic process should be used to identify all reasonably foreseeable major accident hazards that apply to the installation, together with potential initiating events or sequences of events

Control of major accident hazards - Major accident risk evaluation

Principle 5 The methodology and evaluation criteria adopted for major accident risk assessments should be clear

Principle 8 The major accident risk evaluation should take account of human factors

Principle 13 In deciding what is reasonably practicable, the case should show how relevant good practise and judgement based on sound engineering, management and human factors principles have been taken into account




Principle 12 Risk reduction measures identified, as part of the risk assessment, should be implemented if they are reasonably practical

Combined operations

Principle 28The management system should address the additional risks associated with combined operations

Principle 30A 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.

1. Corporate Major Accident Prevention Policy (CMAPP) Requirements

To comply with SCR2015 a duty holder must prepare a Corporate Major Accident Prevention Policy (CMAPP) in accordance with Schedule 2, which fulfils the requirements of Regulation 7 and Schedule 1. The CMAPP must be included in the Safety Case, as per Regulation 17/18 and Schedule 6/7. The CMAPP contained in the Safety Case must meet these legal requirements.

Assessment by the Management System & Verification Topic Assessor will make reference to these relevant regulatory requirements, aspects that are specific to the Environment will be assessed by the Environmental Operational Control discipline.
