Facilitating 'usable' and 'living' Operational Safety Cases

• Owned by the Operator: Produced with a strong Operator's workforce involvement with input sought from knowledgeable staff, with no outsourcing of their 'safety thinking'  
• Usable: Accessible and easy-to understand document by people at levels of the organization ('a picture paints a thousand words').
• Concise: Focused on key hazards, risks and controls
• Honestly written: Produced with realism and under a 'questioning' attitude, reflecting the 'way we do things around here' and avoiding a 'safety on paper' mentality.

We help organizations operating Major Hazard Facilities to enhance the 'usability' and 'fit-for-purpose' of their operational safety cases by incorporating Bowties as part of the safety case production/review strategy. The following benefits are obtained:

• Increased understanding, accessibility and usability of the Safety Case
• Increased workforce involvement and ownership of the Safety Case  production process by the Operator.
• Demonstrating the 'adequacy' of the Process Safety Management System
• Incorporation of Human and Organizational Factors (HOFs)
• A 'Living' document

We have successfully produced 'OUCH' Safety Cases for deep water exploration wells,  Chlor-Alkali production plants and Gas Sweetening Plants.
