Topic:
“Assuring Low Engineering and Safety Risks During a Project and Beyond”
The success of a project not only depends on optimal economic performance but also on its continuing safety performance. A major incident or a string of minor incidents during the early years of operation of the process will bring losses to the owner-operator which may eliminate any design advantages, and it may also impact its reputation and the reputation of the EPC firm that designed and built the project. It is extremely important then, to develop a design with a tolerable risk that can be translated into a lasting low operating risk. A Hazards and Risk Register can integrate all the safety studies done throughout the project and help monitor risk as the project progresses and changes are made. The Register maintains the lists of equipment and instrumentation with their evolving design basis, together with the risk associated with each, which gets automatically recalculated as changes occur. The Register itself can be a value-added project deliverable.
