MANAGEMENT SYSTEM & VERIFICATION – SAFETY CASE ASSESSMENT TEMPLATE
Work Instructions
Topic specialists should use this template to record their assessment of the Management System and Verification aspects of a safety case, including the
Corporate Major Accident Prevention Policy (CMAPP). Assessment should be against the requirements of SCR2015. Management System aspects that
relate specifically to environmental management are excluded. They are covered in a separate Environmental Operational Control template.
Exemplar Approach - This template should be used in accordance with the scope of the Assessment Instructions when the topic is included for assessment.
An exemplar approach may be sufficient if some material has been previously accepted and has not materially changed. For example a CMAPP or SEMS
from an existing, accepted safety case.
The template is one of a series covering all assessment topics, which together form a complete record of the safety case assessment and create evidence of
how the decision to accept the case, or not, was reached. The templates identify the specific regulatory requirements of SCR2015 for the topic and indicate
what the competent authority expects to find within a safety case to demonstrate that those requirements are met. The template complements the published
guidance that supports the regulations and topic sector guidance. The templates are available to promote transparency and assist duty holders in drafting
submissions.
Non Acceptance Issue - A Non Acceptance Issue (NAI) is a deficiency in the demonstration made within a safety case, which, if not resolved, will prevent the
case from being accepted under the relevant statutory provisions. Non Acceptance Issues must be sent via the portal to the duty holder requiring them to be
dealt with in the appropriate manner, giving the duty holder a clear understanding of how to address the deficiency.
Clarification - A Clarification is an explanation provided by a duty holder on request during assessment to enable the assessing Inspectors to be confident of
their interpretation of the information in a safety case. Clarifications are a routine part of assessment work and should be raised with a duty holder promptly.
Clarifications do not require formal communications. Communicating by telephone and email is sufficient. A meeting between the duty holder and relevant
topic specialists may also be appropriate in some circumstances for clarifications. Clarification is not a first stage before raising non-acceptance issues. Any
aspect that could credibly lead to a Non-Acceptance Issue should be raised as such in the first instance.

The management system should show an appropriate level of control during each phase of the installation life cycle, including design,
construction, commissioning, operation, decommissioning and dismantlement
Control of major accident hazards - Major accident hazard identification
 Principle 4
A systematic process should be used to identify all reasonably foreseeable major accident hazards that apply to the installation, together with
potential initiating events or sequences of events
Control of major accident hazards - Major accident risk evaluation
 Principle 5
The methodology and evaluation criteria adopted for major accident risk assessments should be clear
 Principle 8
The major accident risk evaluation should take account of human factors
 Principle 13
In deciding what is reasonably practicable, the case should show how relevant good practise and judgement based on sound engineering,
management and human factors principles have been taken into account

Owner: ED7
 Principle 12
Risk reduction measures identified, as part of the risk assessment, should be implemented if they are reasonably practical
Combined operations
 Principle 28
The management system should address the additional risks associated with combined operations
 Principle 30
A systematic approach should be taken to identifying and assessing any additional major accident hazards arising from combined operations.
These can be new hazards or changes to existing hazards.
