Safety Cases and Safety Reports
A Safety Case or HSSE (Health, Safety, Security & Environmental) Case demonstrates that a high-hazard facility has identified its major accident hazards, assessed the associated risks, and implemented sufficient controls to reduce those risks to a tolerable or ALARP level. Safety cases are tailored to industry, site-specific, and regulatory requirements, providing assurance to regulators, workforce, and stakeholders that risks to people, the environment, and assets are systematically identified, managed, and continuously monitored. They play a central role in regulatory regimes such as the Nuclear Installations Act, UK Offshore Installations (Safety Case) Regulations, COMAH Regulations, and Seveso III Directive.
Service information
- Update and develop to safety cases so they remain current through all lifecycle stages — design, construction, commissioning, operation, modification, and decommissioning
- Conduct complimentary analysis methods such as deterministic and probabilistic analyses to develop robust and comprehensive safety cases
- Define and document designated safety measures (e.g. Safety and Environmental Critical Elements (SECE)), performance standards, human reliability claims and independent protection layers (IPLs)
- Integrate ALARP justifications, cost-benefit assessments, and risk-based design choices supported by quantitative and qualitative evidence
- Incorporate human factors assessments, barrier management, and organisational risk reviews to ensure holistic coverage
- Develop robust emergency response, evacuation, and recovery plans aligned with identified hazards and risk scenarios
- Provide communication, awareness, and training packages to embed safety case ownership across teams and contractors
