It touches on the setting of objectives using a form of risk matrix ,and the establishment of corporate risk tolerability y levels. Such issue management is vital but can lx seen .as yet another corporate HQ initiative. lt must therefore be linked and made relevant to those in middle management tasked with implementing the system and also to those at risk 'at the sharp end of the business.Setting acceptance criteria is aimed at demonstrating a necessary and sufficient level of control or coverage for those hazards considered as being within the objective setting of the Safety or HSE Case.Critical risk ,areas addressed via the Safety Case, within Shell companies at least, must show how this coverage is extended to critical health and environmental issues. Methods of achieving this ,are warious ranging from specific Case deliverables (like the Hazard Register and Accountability Matrices) through to the incorporation of topics from the hazard :malysis in toolbox talks and meetings. Risk analysis techniques 'are increasingly seen as complementary rather than separate with environmental assessments, health risk assessment sand safety risk analyses tahng place together and results being considered jointly.The paper ends with some views on the way ,ahead regarding the linking of risk decisions to target setting at the workplace and views on how Case information may be retrieved and used on a daily basis,

Integrating Advanced Technologies for Enhanced Hse Management in the FMCG Sector

“…Strategies for integrating advanced technologies into existing HSE management systems; Identify key HSE priorities and areas for improvement. Conduct a comprehensive assessment of existing HSE management systems and technologies (Primrose,, et al, 1996). Develop a roadmap for integrating advanced technologies based on organizational needs, resources, and priorities.…”

Bowtie Methodology for Risk Analysis of Visual Borescope Inspection during Aircraft Engine Maintenance

“…The exact origin of the Bowtie remains to be fully clarified, but it was first mentioned in 1979 in the lecture notes of a hazard analysis class presented by Imperial Chemical Industries at the University of Queensland, Australia [22]. It is accepted that the first company to integrate the Bowtie method as a risk management tool was the Royal Dutch Shell Group in the early 1990s in response to the Piper Alpha oil and gas platform explosion in the North Sea (1988) and after the introduction of the Seveso Directive [23][24][25]. This new risk analysis and assessment approach was developed as the main component of the "hazard, effect, and management process" (HEMP) and was communicated internally by Shell as a "Bowtie diagram" [25].…”

“…The definitions below originate from the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA), the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) [5][6][7]. This coincides with the terminology used by Shell, where the method was first applied [23].…”

Management of Competence in HSE and Application in Training Redesign

“…The HSE-critical roles include key accountabilities for activities where incompetent actions by an individual can lead directly to serious injury, occupational illness or major damage, either to the assets or to the environment. Where this competence can be assured, greater reliance can be placed on staff and formal control in terms of procedures or instructions can be reduced [5].…”
