Safety studies are static, changes can be challenging

They are time consuming,
Information can be out of date by the time the study is issued
But they are essential to the design process

So what can we do?

 DNV GL Software and others in the industry are working on approaches and
methodologies to shorted this lead time.

 Some approaches include

– Integrating studies
– Re using data
– Digital Twin Concept

 Now there is a deviation based on our recommended practice.

– Risk Based we can use Safeti Offshore to produce a range of risk results
– Consequence based

Cost Benefit Analysis

As with all engineering design decisions cost benefit is a key factor.

How can we be sure that our Safety dollars are well spent?

Risk Based – Impact on Life

 ALARP, F-N Curves etc.

Risk Based – Impact on the Asset

 Cost Benefit analysis

– Does the cost of the blast wall equate to the cost of damage?

Ungraded

32 DNV GL © 2016 01 March 2016

Consequence based

 Should this event occur can people escape?

 Should this event occur what happens?
