Plant Safety:Risk analyses and safety expertises | |
Overal view
In many cases safety analyses or systematic risk analyses are not cogently required by the rules and regulations or the legal framework. They are however needed for various reasons, e.g. conditions for granting of loans (Basel II), prescribed by insurance companies and by the authorities.
So the introduction of a risk management system has proved of value in many companies. The essential steps of a risk management system are:
analysis & assessment planning implementation inspection
|
Apart from the technical risks further-ranging risks for the company are also considered in the process.
Systematic approach
During the daily contact with technical plants many dangers and risks are taken for granted or repressed. On the other hand some sources of danger are overrated and there is unnecessarily high expenditure for counter measures.
Through a systematic approach for the analysis of these plants the effects are being assessed competently. Consequently safety and availability can be improved in a cost-effective manner. Risk analyses are not only analyses of weak spots, they also show up potential for optimisation.
Having risk analyses done by independent experts brings new know-how for the company and reduces the danger of becoming routine-blinded.
Tailor-made concepts
