3. Context
No safety file available for the existing North Area Facility
A consolidation project is starting
Input based on safety feedback (R.E.M.) is required = SAFETY DIAGNOSTIC

4. Coupling with the project lifetime
Perform a diagnostic in line with the project life cycle:
Focused on:
Safety aspect;
Environmental aspect
Based on the experience, the data recorded and the history of the facility

5. Diagnostic process : 3 steps
Interview with each system/process
owner based on 3 criteria:
The Probability (P)
Accident /incident history
Inspections reports analysis
Events occurred
The potential Severity (S) of the system
For the persons
For the environment
For the facility
The current Level of control (L)
Rating of the system on:
Safety aspects (OHS, reliability)
Environmental impact
3) Recommendations for the Conceptual Design Report
SCORE = P x S x L

7. Rating Safety aspects :
Probability of an event related with this system/process (based on accident declaration in the north area on this system/process) :
1: No event during the last 5 years
3: On average 1 event/ years during the last 5 years
5: More than 5 events / years during the last 5 years
Reasonable maximum Severity in case of an event related with this system/process:
1: Slight injury (1st degree burn, contusion…) – Hundreds Swiss francs of material damages
5: Injury with days off (broken legs, 2nd degree burn…) – Thousands Swiss francs of damages – Lost operation time (in hours)
10: Injury with work disability or fatality (electrocution, fall from height…) – Hundred thousands Swiss francs of damages – Lost operation time (in days)
Current level of control related to human exposure on this system/process:
1: A safety management system is continuously improving the OHS level (Safety culture shared by workers, systematic risk assessment, systematic safety feedback; FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) for each systems…))
3: A safety management system is in place but still have to be improved (Prevention plan partially in place, no systematic risk assessment is performed, several level of sub-contractors; FMEA not performed…)
5: Non-compliant with the applicable safety rules (Workers not trained properly, procedures are not up to date…)
Safety score =
P x S x L

8. Rating Environmental Impact :
Probability of an event related with this system/process (based on accident declaration) :
1: No event during the last 5 years in the north area on this system/process
3: On average 1 event/ years during the last 5 years in the north area on this system/process
5: More than 5 events / years during the last 5 years in the north area on this system/process
Reasonable maximum severity in case of an event related with this system/process:
1: Minor environmental impact (Increase of electrical consumption, mistake in sorting common waste…)
5: Major environmental impact ( < 10 liters of pollution released in the air, water, soil; mistake in sorting chemical waste…)
10: Serious environmental impact( > 10 liters of pollution released in the air, water, soil; abnormal energy consumption…)
Current level of control related to human exposure on this system/process:
1: A environmental management system is continuously improving the Environmental level (Safety culture shared by workers, systematic waste segregation, emergency procedures known by everyone, systematic environmental impact study…)
3: A safety management system is in place but still have to be improved (Prevention plan partially in place, no systematic risk assessment is performed, several level of sub-contractors…)
5: Non-compliant with the applicable safety rules (Workers not trained properly, procedures are not up to date…)
Env score =
P x S x L

9. Sum up :
Diagnostic based on the Records, Experience and Monitoring (REM)
Help to understand the systems and the processes hazardousness
Get an overview of the current situation
Help to make recommendation and priorities
Indicators allow to monitor the improvement
Baseline for the safety management of the project
Baseline for the safety file edition
