A Safety Case Regime from
Compliance to Commitment

2. SAFETY CASE POSSIBILITIES
A Safety Case provides you a summarised
demonstration of the way you manage
major hazards in your installation

3. SAFETY CASE POSSIBILITIES
Organization-wide Safety Case implementation will improve…
Collaboration Communication Planning Alignment
…with multiple stakeholders.

4. SAFETY CASE POSSIBILITIES
Over the lifecycle of an installation, this can
significantly help stakeholders understand
different components of the facility by
providing a platform for coordinating - in a
structured manner - the impact of change

5. Key to determining how we intend to harness change in the future to drive success
is the way we:
• Initiate our internal implementation discussions
• Focus resource development
• Review our current processes and system readiness
• Develop our communication plans and stakeholder interfaces
SAFETY CASE POSSIBILITIES

6. To support the implementation of a Safety
Case regime, we spoke at length to a
broad group of professionals across
many organisations, industries and
countries…
PROFESSIONAL ENGAGEMENT

7. This is what we
learned…

8. 1. The concept of a ‘Safety Case’ is adopted in different ways
For some organisations its about:
• Demonstrating that existing processes and
systems are in compliance
• Working towards an organisations future where
people’s roles and responsibilities will be entirely
different

9. THE CONCEPT OF A ‘SAFETY CASE’ IS ADOPTED IN DIFFERENT WAYS
As a company you’ll need to define what
a Safety Case will mean to the way you
operate and demonstrate continued integrity
in your facility.

10. What does this mean to my facilities?
• It will reduce risk exposure to your people.
• Provides assurance on integrity of SCE equipment.
• Eliminates redundant inspection and maintenance work.
• Reduction in costs, manhours, logistics, procurement of
materials and services.
• Improved visibility of asset and SCE integrity status.

11. 2. When something is new, there is a degree of nervousness…
For example, nervousness around:
• Uptake and the extent of work that is required to
ensure your license to operate is not impacted
• Initiating the changes too early

12. WHEN SOMETHING IS NEW, THERE IS A DEGREE OF NERVOUSNESS
The longer you delay your commitment the
greater the anxiousness will be and the
more exposed you become to the threat
of business disruption.

13. 3. There will be barriers to change
• Organisations want the value and usefulness of a Safety Case to be
demonstrated before they make the change
• Part of the problem to successful implementation is in the invisibility of
potential gaps within their existing processes - the lack of physicality and
palpability makes it feel very ‘unknown’
• Belief it is important to focus on the purely HSE compliance requirements,
rather than a wider design and operations integrity envelope
• Sense of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

14. THERE WILL BE BARRIERS TO CHANGE
Organisations want the value and usefulness
of a Safety Case to be demonstrated
before they make the change

15. 4. People are the agents of transformation
• People are the agents of any organisational transformation - without
their input, nothing will change
• A Safety Case regime will have a ripple effect throughout your
organisation - some people will take to it like a duck to water, while
others will feel like they’re sinking

16. PEOPLE ARE THE AGENTS OF TRANSFORMATION
With foresight, nobody will drown
