ALARP: As low as reasonably practicable. SFAIRP: so far as is reasonably practicable. Both have no difference and mean essentially the same thing, just different terminology as both aims to reduce riskContinue Reading

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

Non-critical safety systems, are systems that add to the safety of the installation. While it does not render the installation unsafe when a non-critical safety system is switched off, it may introduce problems if they malfunction.Continue Reading

Non safety-critical system is a failure that does not lead to an accident or the impact is relatively negligible.Continue Reading

The process hazard analysis is a thorough, orderly, systematic approach for identifying, evaluating, and controlling the hazards of processes involving highly hazardous chemicals.Continue Reading

SECE is previously known as SCE. This change is due to the re-definition of the “major accident” in the Safety Case Regulation 2015 incorporating the elements of a major environmental incident.Continue Reading

Safety Critical procedure describes a procedure for a task which, if carried out incorrectly or not at all, could lead to serious plant damage, loss of containment, injury or fatality.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 illustrate, a high-pressure trip would be Safety Critical Element. For instance, a gas compressor may be related to a number of Safety Critical Elements such as hydrocarbon containment and...Continue Reading

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
