SAFETY CASES FOR PRODUCTION AND NON-PRODUCTION INSTALLATIONS
FIRE, EXPLOSION & RISK ASSESSMENT (FERA) FULL TOPIC ASSESSMENT TEMPLATE –
ASPECTS OF SAFETY CASE SUBMISSIONS AS INDICATED IN THE SUMMARY TABLE:
This document provides the Full Topic Assessment Template (FTAT) to be completed as a record of the assessment of the FERA
elements of a Safety Case submitted to the HSE under the “Offshore Installations (Offshore Safety Directive) (Safety Case etc.)
Regulations 2015”. Where reference is made to the “assessor” this refers to the assessor responsible for the Fire, Explosion & QRA
topics. This FTAT is to be completed by the topic assessors and embedded in the Topic Assessment Record that is attached to
COIN.
The FERA assessment has been carried out to the procedures laid out in the safety case assessment manual (SCHAM), to
assessment principles of offshore safety cases (APOSC), guidance for the topic assessment of the major accident hazard aspects
of safety cases (GASCET) and the fire, explosion and risk assessment topic guidance (PMTECH12) all current at the time the
assessor completed the FTAT.
FERA assessment relevant OSDR 2015 Regulations and Schedules:
Regulations 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24 & 30 and Schedules 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 10
The Offshore installations (Offshore Safety Directive)( Safety Case etc.) Regulations 2015 (SCR2015) require that duty holders
wanting to operate in relevant waters must prepare, and have accepted, a safety case containing the particulars identified in those
regulations. In order to accept a safety case the competent authority must first satisfy itself that the safety case contains the
required information.

Owner: ED3.2 – Fire, Explosion & Risk Assessment
This template is the assessor’s record of their assessment of the case against the legal requirements of the fire, explosion & risk
assessment aspects contained in the safety case submitted under OSDR 2015. It identifies the specific regulations contained within
relevant statutory provisions such as OSD SCR2015, PFEER, MAR and HSMWR that relate to this topic and identifies what the CA
expects to find within a safety case to meet those requirements. This document complements the guidance produced to support the
regulations as well as existing topic sector guidance.
This template will form the complete record of the assessment process undertaken by the competent authority. It is proposed to
make these templates freely available to promote transparency and assist industry in drafting its submissions.
Key to abbreviations on sheets which follow:
CR: clarification required;
NAI: non-acceptance issue.
A non-acceptance issue (NAI) is a deficiency in the demonstration made for health, safety and environment within the safety case,
which, if not resolved, will prevent the case from being accepted under the relevant statutory provisions.
Non acceptance issues require formal communication with the operator to ensure they are dealt with in the appropriate manner
giving them every chance to address the deficiency. The operator will be given 14 calendar days to respond.
A clarification (CR) is an explanation provided to an inspector, by an operator, to allow them to be confident of their interpretation
of the demonstration provided within the safety case. Clarifications are carried out as part of the routine of assessment work and
should be raised with the operator swiftly and informally and by direct means of communication (by telephone / email) and would
normally expect a prompt response.
In complex cases the requirement for clarification can be pre-empted by setting up a meeting between the operator and relevant
topic specialists to facilitate discussion and understanding between the 2 parties before the case is submitted or in the very early
stages of the assessment.
Where any uncertainty relates to an area that has the potential to lead to a non-acceptance issue, a request for ‘clarification’ would
not be appropriate and the issue should be identified as a non-acceptance issue and raised immediately in the appropriate fashion.

SCR 2015 Regulatory FERA Requirement: Regulation 16
Management and control of major accident hazards

16.—(1) A duty holder who prepares a safety case pursuant to these Regulations must, subject to paragraph (2), include in the safety case sufficient
particulars to demonstrate that—
(a) the duty holder’s management system is adequate to ensure—
(i) that the relevant statutory provisions will, in respect of matters within the duty holder’s control, be complied with; and
(ii) that the management of arrangements with contractors and sub-contractors is satisfactory;
(b) the duty holder has established adequate arrangements for audit and for the making of reports of the audit;
(c) all hazards with the potential to cause a major accident have been identified;
(d) all major accident risks have been evaluated, their likelihood and consequences assessed, including any environmental, meteorological and seabed
limitations on safe operations, and that suitable measures, including the selection and deployment of associated safety and environmental-critical
elements have been, or will be, taken to control those risks to ensure that the relevant statutory provisions will be complied with; and
(e) in the case of a non-production installation, all the major hazards have been identified for all operations the installation is capable of performing.
(2) Paragraph Error! Reference source not found. only requires the safety case to include the particulars referred to in that paragraph to the extent that
it is reasonable to expect the duty holder to address them at the time of sending the safety case to the competent authority.
(3) In this regulation, “audit” means systematic assessment of the adequacy of the management system to achieve the purpose referred to in paragraph
Error! Reference source not found.(a) carried out by a person who is sufficiently independent of the system (but who may be employed by the duty
holder) to ensure that such assessment is objective.
(4) The demonstration of the matters referred to in paragraph Error! Reference source not found.(d) must include the estimate of oil spill response
effectiveness contained in the oil pollution emergency plan in respect of the installation, prepared pursuant to regulation 4(3)(a) and (c) of and Schedule 2
to the Merchant Shipping (Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Co-operation Convention) Regulations 1998(a).

duties taking into account the risk assessment undertaken during the preparation of the notification of well operations.
(7) Where a mobile non-production installation is to be used for carrying out a well operation and the description of the internal emergency response
arrangements is revised as a result of the particular nature or location of a well, the owner must send a revised description of the internal emergency
response arrangements to the competent authority.
(8) Paragraphs (5) and (7) do not apply where a revised description of the internal emergency response arrangements has been sent to the competent
authority as a revision which makes a material change to the current safety case that is required to be sent to the competent authority under regulation
Error! Reference source not found. in connection with the same operation.
(9) Subject to paragraph (10), the duty holder must send the revised description of the internal emergency response arrangements to the Maritime and
Coastguard Agency (a) as soon as is practicable.
