Proportionality – avoiding ‘one size fits all’ solutions
Proportionality is a fundamental attribute of modern risk management.
The effects of ageing and the implications for risk and safety management
One of the knock-on effects of the rising energy demand is a push to extend the life of already ageing installations across the major hazard industries, notably in the oil, gas & chemical and nuclear power sectors.
Emergency broadcast – communicating major accidents events
Major Accident Events (MAEs) are low frequency, high consequence events typified by accidents such as Deepwater Horizon, Fukushima and Texas City. Significant efforts are made by operators to prevent and mitigate these events. But how well do we communicate what these events might be and how we would manage them?
Bowtie – closing the loop between risk assessment and the management system
Companies in major hazard industries have long been accustomed to carrying out hazard identification and risk assessment. They are also expected to have in place a structured safety management system.
Know your breaking point: the benefits of organisational stress testing
The term 'Stress Testing' has featured in the headlines over the past few years as authorities respond to the worldwide banking crisis and, more recently, the Fukushima nuclear power plant incident. Banks or operators of nuclear facilities have been required, or encouraged, to undertake 'Stress Tests' to assess the ability of their organisation to withstand extreme conditions.
