Introduction
• Health and Safety at Work (Major Hazard Facilities) Regulations
2016
• Classifies hazardous facilities as “upper tier” or “lower tier” Major
Hazard Facilities
• Upper tier facilities are required to prepare a “Safety Case”
• Safety Case contents are described in Schedule 7 of the Regulations

Planning and Resourcing
• Treat it as a ‘project’ – develop a project plan (Safety Case Outline)– Assign a “Project Manager”
– Assign team members with clear roles & responsibilities
• Manage interactions between EHS and Process Safety
• Don’t underestimate the volume of work required– Allocation of resources
– It should not be an “add on” to normal day-to-day work
– Appropriate use of consultants
• Consider using a pilot study

Planning and Resourcing
• Involve the right people– Suitable qualifications, depth and range of experience
– Operations staff with experience of the facility
• Develop comprehensive procedures for various process safety tasks– Provides consistency and repeatability
– Ensure that the approaches are a suitable fit for the organisation
– Ensure methods are comprehensive
– Document the basis for decisions
– Cover methodologies, pre-work, criteria etc.
– Address the requirements (e.g. demonstration of risk reduced SFAIRP)
– Consider ‘human factors’

Planning and Resourcing
• Ensure current and correct technical information
• Train the workforce in the process
12
![Page 13: New Zealand Petroleum Conference 2017r4risk.com.au/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/2017-NZ...New Zealand Petroleum Conference 2017 Opportunities and Pitfalls in Safety Case Development](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5651404883f628f113c50/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Safety Assessment
• Safety Assessment requirements (r38)
– Identify all Major Incidents
– Identify all Major Incident Hazards
– Assess the risks to health and safety for the Major Incidents
– Develop and implement effective Control Measures
– Establish and implement a comprehensive Safety Management System
13
![Page 14: New Zealand Petroleum Conference 2017r4risk.com.au/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/2017-NZ...New Zealand Petroleum Conference 2017 Opportunities and Pitfalls in Safety Case Development](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5651404883f628f113c50/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Safety Management System
• The SMS should be the system that manages the safety at an
MHF
– It should be integrated and comprehensive
– It should manage the Control Measures
• Lack of an sound SMS will cause major issues
– It will take time to implement
• Conduct a gap assessment of the SMS
14
![Page 15: New Zealand Petroleum Conference 2017r4risk.com.au/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/2017-NZ...New Zealand Petroleum Conference 2017 Opportunities and Pitfalls in Safety Case Development](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5651404883f628f113c50/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Safety Management System
• Cover all systems and procedures to select control measures
– Cross reference between the Safety Case and the SMS
• Support all control measures, e.g.
– Maintenance systems
– Training
– Operations
– Document control
– Audits
• Make the activities part of normal working (not purely compliance)
15
![Page 16: New Zealand Petroleum Conference 2017r4risk.com.au/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/2017-NZ...New Zealand Petroleum Conference 2017 Opportunities and Pitfalls in Safety Case Development](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5651404883f628f113c50/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Simplicity
• Keep things as simple as practical
– Safety Assessment methodology
– Management of controls
• Keep things targeted and relevant
– Reduces the amount of work required
– Avoid analysis of events that are not significant
– Focus on fewer but effective Control Measures
– Avoid generation of actions that are not directly relevant
16
![Page 17: New Zealand Petroleum Conference 2017r4risk.com.au/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/2017-NZ...New Zealand Petroleum Conference 2017 Opportunities and Pitfalls in Safety Case Development](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5651404883f628f113c50/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Simplicity
• Need to be able to sustain:
– Systems and processes introduced
– New controls
– Ongoing resource requirements for new systems
17
![Page 18: New Zealand Petroleum Conference 2017r4risk.com.au/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/2017-NZ...New Zealand Petroleum Conference 2017 Opportunities and Pitfalls in Safety Case Development](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5651404883f628f113c50/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Simplicity
• Aids the understanding of personnel across the organisation of
– The Major Incident Hazards
– The risk from these hazards
– Control Measures
– Management of Control Measures
– The relationships between these factors
18

– Using standalone systems
• Selection of inappropriate Safety Assessment methodologies
– Not ‘fit for purpose’
– Conflicts with the legislative requirements
– Inconsistency across the assessment
– Not addressing the “Demonstration of Adequacy” for Control Measures

![Page 21: New Zealand Petroleum Conference 2017r4risk.com.au/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/2017-NZ...New Zealand Petroleum Conference 2017 Opportunities and Pitfalls in Safety Case Development](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5651404883f628f113c50/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Common Pitfalls
• Inadequate resourcing
– Inadequate technical resources
– Over-reliance on consultant input
• Emergency Plan
– Plans too generic
– Failing to specifically address Major Incidents
– Excessive numbers of scenario plans (consolidate where practical)
– Link via the SMS for training and performance improvement

– Failure to define performance indicators
– Lack of effective process safety auditing
– Not having the maintenance system as an integral part of the SMS
