Functional Safety Is Just For High Hazard Establishments – Truth or Myth?
ESC Associate director David Green’s article ‘Functional Safety Is Just For High Hazard Establishments – Truth or Myth?’ has been featured this month in the Process Industry Informer magazine.
Functional Safety Is Just For High Hazard Establishments – Truth or Myth?
In the article, David explains what could be included in the FS systems, what should a company do, where to start and what the risk evaluation looks like.
Here is a sneak peek:
In 2015 the Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations in the UK were updated following the release of the EU directive SEVESO III (2012/18/EU) in 2012. This change resulted in some establishments changing classification with regards to these regulations and their classification as ‘high hazard’.
Some establishments became lower tier from previously not being categorised, with others being upgraded to upper tier. This change led to new companies being included in the regulatory audit program for hazards management by the regulatory authorities.
In the UK, the COMAH regulations are those which the regulatory authorities will provide judgement of the achievement of sufficient controls for these high hazard establishments. Other EU member states and countries globally will have different regulations.
This leads on to the question posed in the article title.
