Safety Case Development - How Marex Can Help

Marex consultants have been involved in the development of Safety Cases since the enactment of the original Safety Case regulations in the UK in 1992, with a particular specialization in the production of mobile unit cases, based on the company’s expertise in the maintenance of safety in the marine environment.

The company is able to develop all or part of a case using the IADC template or what ever system the client requires. It should be remembered that though there are general principles in the development of Safety Cases, and a requirement for certain items to be contained there-in, the regulations are goal-setting so it is up the client how this is actually done.

Marex have been pioneers of the well-known bowtie major hazard risk assessment process and are experts in the facilitation of risk assessment using Bowtie XP. This takes a couple of days and, importantly, involves the workforce, an absolute requirement of the 2005 regulations. The company is also able to carry out quantitative risk assessments with a particular focus on fire and explosion, and the maintenance of the Temporary Refuge (TR) for the required time frame.

Marex has a wealth of experience in responding to the regulator’s requirements, on the basis of more than 100 Safety Cases produced in the UK regulatory environment. HSE Cases have also been produced elsewhere in the world, mainly to assist mobile unit owners to respond to their client’s requirements.
