Hydrasun’s design safety process ensures that all the relevant parties consider all aspects of the design to confirm that the project outputs can be assembled, operated, maintained and deconstructed in a safe manner.
The design safety approach ensures that:
- potential hazards are identified and eliminated where reasonably practical.
- risks are managed.
- design reviews are completed.
- change is minimised following design release.
The design safety process will achieve predictable outcomes, reduce re-work and reduce the risk of errors or incidents during the fabrication, construction, commissioning, and operational activities.
The process:
- ensures that the design safety basis for the project is clear and defined such that the project meets the design criteria.
- manages the design and design change process.
- manages project risk.
- adopts hazard identification methods HAZOP, HAZCON, 3D modelling, BIM standards, etc.
- uses a quantitative risk assessment technique, if applicable, e.g. LOPA, to determine the functional safety level and the need for safety instrumented functions.
- captures design and safety information in a Health and Safety File.
- ensures designs are in accordance with the Construction Design and Management (CDM) 2015 regulations.
