Guidelines on demonstrating safety of novel subsea technologies: Part II - Safety demonstration process
Request a copy
Safety 4.0 aims to provide a framework for efficient and effective safety demonstration for novel subsea solutions, in order to promote continuous safety improvement and smarter operations.
The current document focuses on the safety demonstration process, with the following specific objectives:
- Providing a high-level overview of the safety demonstration process, including various activities and stakeholder involvement.
- Advising how an efficient safety demonstration process can be achieved by identifying and focusing on the particular novelties of the activities and solutions.
- To support effective safety demonstration (i.e., ensure that conclusions are robust), by providing practical guidance on the treatment of uncertainty and assumptions throughout the safety demonstration process.
This guideline is not intended to replace existing standards recommended by the PSA, but should be regarded as supplementary advice to achieve more efficient and effective safety demonstration in areas where the current standards are not fit-for-purpose.
