The ALARP principle stands for “as low as reasonably practicable”. This principle intends to keep the risk level as low as possible provided that the ALARP evaluations are extensively documented.Continue Reading

Safety Critical Equipment (SCE) is any equipment within a Safety Critical Element that is relied upon in order for the Element to function as required to prevent MAH from occurring or to reduce its consequences. Some examples of safety-critical equipment onboard a vessel includes an emergency fire pump, emergency generator, emergency batteries, lifeboat engines, fixed...Continue Reading

HSE critical equipment is equipment which is in place to prevent or limit the effect of a major accident.Continue Reading

Safety critical equipment can be determined through process safety reviews such as HAZID, Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) and etc.Continue Reading

Essential equipment to prevent or mitigate the realisation of the uncontrolled event.Continue Reading

performance requirements/standards are verifiable requirements related to barrier element properties to ensure that the barrier is effective. They can include aspects such as capacity, functionality, effectiveness, integrity, reliability, availability, ability to withstand loads, robustness, expertise and mobilization time.Continue Reading

SCEs are defined as equipment or structure whose failure will either cause or contribute to the MAH, or the purpose of which is to prevent, detect, control or mitigate a potential MAH. This information is usually available in Bow-Tie reports or Safety Case studies.Continue Reading

The elements from the Safety Critical Elements are: Structural Integrity Process Containment Ignition Control Protection Systems Detection Systems Shutdown Systems Emergency Response LifesavingContinue Reading

SCEs are the barriers (such as equipment, systems, or structures) that are in place to prevent or limit the effect of a major accident.Continue Reading
