Safety assessment is the act of pointing out all possible risks and
assessing the extent of its consequences whereas safety assurance is
achieved by performing all the tasks that will ensure the safety of the
personnel, such as assessing all hazards and risks, and reducing it to a
reasonable level.
How are they related to each If a company performs an extensive safety assessment is provides
other? more safety assurance when performing an operation. A regular
safety assessment would maintain the safety assurance.
Assess the implications of safety The article provided highlights the preservation of indigenous rock
assurance/assessment related to art that is situated in the Burrup Peninsula. The rock art is subject to
the given topic adverse impacts from the industrial plants that are located nearby.
Steps being taken for Safety Assessment / Safety Assurance and their
implications:
A knowledge centre is being funded by the government and
supported by Woodside to study the effects of the emissions
produced by the industries on the rocks and the art present.
Instead of building a small centre near the area, the centre is
still yet to be built because of a pending decision on siting of
the centre. A suggested area is the Conzinc Bay, on the
northern Burrup Peninsula, but building the centre here
would invite more human activity which would further
destroy the heritage.
The state has funded heritage inventory surveys in all the
industrial zoned land, but only one study in the national park
has been funded.
Over 15000 petroglyphs have been discovered between 2014
and 2017, and the area is yet to be protected by the local
government.
It is required by the federal government that the plants
monitor the heritage values and surveying rock art sites
within 2 kilometres of the project site.
