Overview

You are now required to develop the SCR to support Main Gate, which will bring together all the work completed since the Initial Gate, including the assessment of the various options. The Main Gate SCR would typically:

  • Be an update to the initial gate Safety Case Report, based on improved knowledge of the system / options being followed
  • Argue the strengths and weaknesses for the recommended option (Options would typically have their own SCRs developed during the concept and assessment phases)
  • Record the safety assessments being undertaken and document the strategies for achieving the safety requirements

Task

Develop the SCR below, used to support Initial Gate, for Main Gate. Update the SCR to include all the sections below which mirror the structure outlined in ASEMS SMP12 (note, add but do not populate the Operator Information or Audit Report).

  • 1.0 System Description
    • Capture a description of the Oil SSTS with sufficient details that the reader understands the boundary and the scope of the safety case (People, Equipment, Activity and Organisation), and interfaces with other safety cases. This should contain more detail that the Initial Gate SCR.
  • 2.0 Assumptions
    • Capture any assumptions that underpin the safety case for main gate, this could include assumptions about the scope, safety requirements, operational profiles, time in service, operating environment etc. This assumption list will be different to the Initial Gate SCR because you now know more about the design and some of your assumptions will now be requirements.
  • 3.0 Progress against the Safety Programme
    • An assessment of progress against the SMP that:
      • Indicates the current status of the safety case relative to the expectations documented within the SMP including an assessment of any impacts on future progress;
      • Outlines safety management progress since the previous SCR, including identification of any new Hazards and Accidents and progress on Risk Management activities
  • 4.0 Meeting the Safety Requirements
    • Following the headings below, provide evidence to demonstrate how the safety requirements have been or will be met for the Oil SSTS before the system moves into services.
      • 4.1 Oil SSTS Safety Requirements – A statement describing the principle agreed Safety Requirements for the Oil SSTS. (you could include a link to your teams SRD page). Safety requirements that are unlikely to be met, either in part or in full, should be identified with remedial/follow-up actions identified.
      • 4.2 Key Hazards – Summary of the Key Hazards and likely Accidents associated with the Oil SSTS.
      • 4.3 Risk Management Actions – Capture any risk management actions that are outstanding, and identify both the risk and the organisation responsible for its management.
      • 4.4 Residual Safety Risk posed by the Oil SSTS – Capture the residual risk anticipated to be posed by the Oil SSTS, this will make reference back to your hazard log and risk matrix.
      • 4.5 Issues of Note – Capture any issues of particular sensitivity, e.g. use of restricted materials
      • 4.6 Regulator approvals/certificates – Capture any certificates that the Oil SSTS has or will have, and any associated restrictions/exemptions.
      • 4.7 Counter Evidence – Identify any evidence e.g. past incidents, part experience, etc that could undermine the Oil SSTS SCR and describe the activities that have taken place to address these issues.
      • 4.8Interfacing Systems – Identify any systems that interface with the Oil SSTS, and identify any potential safety aspects that should be considered.
  • 5.0 Emergency / Contingency Arrangements – Capture what emergency/contingency arrangements have been or will need to be in place to support the Oil SSTS, with reference back to the identified hazards
  • 6.0 Operational Information – This section would normally be populated, however for the purpose of this workshop please leave this section blank.
  • 7.0 Independent Safety Auditor Report – This section would normally be populated, however for the purpose of this workshop please leave this section blank.
  • 8.0 Conclusion and Recommendations – Provide a safety argument that summaries the report and justifies why the preferred option was selected and why the Oil SSTS project should progress into Manufacture.
  • Annexes – Normally each Option would be considered within its own SCR or as an Annex to the Main Gate SCR. In this instances however, capture a summary of the options that you have discounted, and detail the safety aspects that prevented this option being considered. These safety aspects could be linked to physical hazards or an inability to meet the safety programme.

Hint: You can populate the Padlet by either copying/pasting or typing the heading text. A example of what is expected can be found here]
