USE OF THE SAFETY CASE AS A TRAINING TOOL TO DISPERSE CORPORATE KNOWLEDGE

摘要

Safety Case requirements are established in a number of jurisdictions around the world as a tool for authorities to assure themselves (and hence the community) that residual risks to the public adequately controlled. For a business to satisfy such requirements many years of effort are needed. Australian Vinyls management saw the challenge of complying to Victoria's new OH&S (Major Hazard Facilities) Regulations 2000' as an opportunity to improve the business rather than a regulatory burden. Foremost in management's mind was the potential use of the Safety Case as a training tool to first capture, then disperse corporate knowledge about process safety fundamentals.
