Fatal Accident Rates
Implied Cost of Averting a Fatality (ICAF)
58. In making an assessment of reasonable practicability, there is a need to set criteria on the value of a
life or implied cost of averting a statistical fatality (ICAF). HSE’s ‘Reducing Risks Protecting People’
document sets the value of a life at £1,000,000 and by implication therefore the level at which the
costs are disproportionate to the benefits gained. In simplistic terms, a measure that costs less than
£1,000,000 and saves a life over the lifetime of an installation is reasonably practicable, while one
that costs significantly more than £1,000,000, is disproportionate and therefore is not justified.
However case law indicates that costs should be grossly disproportionate and therefore costs in
excess of this figure (usually multiples) are used in the offshore industry. In reality of course there is
no simple cut-off and a whole range of factors, including uncertainty need to be taken account of in
the decision making process.
59. In the offshore industry there is a need to take account of the increased focus on societal (or group)
risk, i.e. the risk of multiple fatalities in a single event, as a result of society's perceptions of these
types of accident. Therefore the offshore industry typically addresses this by using a high proportion
factor for the maximum level of sacrifice that can be borne without it being judged ‘grossly
disproportionate’; this has the effect of increasing the ICAF value used for decision-making. The
typical ICAF value used by the offshore industry is around £6,000,000, i.e. a proportion factor of 6.
HSE considers this to be the minimum level for the application of Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) in the
offshore industry.
60. Use of a proportion factor of 6 ensures that any CBA tends towards the conservative end of the
spectrum and therefore takes account of the potential for multiple fatalities and uncertainty. Although
a proportion factor of 6 tends to be used, there are no agreed standards and it is for each duty holder
to apply higher levels if appropriate, for example in very novel designs.

Safety Terminology
• Risk Assessment - a subjective evaluation, involving judgment,
intuition and experience, where the level of risk is classified in
four levels and their associated measures of
Fatalities/Person/Year
– 1) Tolerable Risk - level prepared to accept but will continue
to seek reduction. 10-3 to 10-5
– 2) Acceptable Risk - level prepared to accept without seeking
further reduction. 10-5
– 3) Unacceptable Risk - level prepared to reject for oneself
and others. 10-3
– 4) ALARP - As low as reasonably practicable.
• The usual measure of risk at a global level is
Fatalities/Person/Year, but for the local view, i.e., for your
immediate corporate mission, risk can be viewed as simply the
“failure of your product.”
• The usual format for the analysis of Risk Assessment is a “Cost-
Benefit” Analysis, lives saved versus monetary costs.
What is Risk Management?
Risk Management is the effective identification, assessment and
control of Risk
• Useful Tools:
– QRA
– RAM studies
– FMECA
– HAZID \ HAZOP
– Audits
• Best implemented during design
• Qualitatively first, then quantitatively
Why is Risk Management needed?
• Legislation \ Standards
• Control of Major Hazard Facilities
• Pipeline Acts
• OS&H Regulations 1984
• AS/NZS 4360 Risk Management
• Necessary for business optimisation ($)
• Increase value by:
– minimising loss ($)
– maximising opportunity ($)
• Optimises the performance of the facility
• Reduces probability of becoming:
– Piper Alpha
– Longford
– Exxon Valdez
History of Major Hazards Control
1960’s Flixborough UK (explosion and fire)
Prescriptive
• Recommendations for design and operation
• (USA) style statutory provisions
• Consideration of the operation of safety procedures

Types of Redundancy
• Classified on how the redundant elements are introduced into the circuit
• Active or Static Redundancy
– External components are not required to perform the function of
detection, decision and switching when an element or path in the
structure fails.
• Standby or Dynamic Redundancy
– External elements are required to detect, make a decision and switch
to another element or path as a replacement for a failed element or
path.
• Generally subsea systems (e.g. umbilicals, the MCS) use active
redundancy – hot standby
