2 Process Safety Auditing Auditing is a vital part of a PSM program Demonstrate compliance with company expectations and processes Ensure suitable safeguarding measures in place Identify deficiencies in compliance or safeguarding measures. Needs to be systematic and independent. Must be relevant to the site hazards 2

3 Different types of audit Compliance-centred Regulatory Corporate Management systems Hazard-centred Focussed on particular hazards Safeguards necessary to control hazards 3

4 Audit protocol But developing an audit protocol can be problematic Process safety hazards may vary from site to site or from time to time Consequences of accident may vary and therefore different safeguards required One size does not fit all for a varied portfolio of assets Audit must consider safeguards important to prevent or mitigate site-specific process safety hazardous events 4

5 Using Bowties in Process Safety Auditing So how can you: Identify process safety measures relevant to particular sites? Account for local concerns and vulnerabilities? Leave a legacy of increased process safety awareness

6 Some bowtie concepts Various distinct causes of the top event A physical situation with a potential for harm Realistic worstcase outcomes of the top event HAZARD THREAT - 1 BARRIER BARRIER 1.2 CONSEQUENCE - A BARRIER - A.1 BARRIER A.2 THREAT - 2 BARRIER BARRIER 2.2 Location: TOP EVENT CONSEQUENCE - B BARRIER - B.1 BARRIER B.2 THREAT - 3 BARRIER BARRIER 3.2 ESCALATION BARRIER 6 ESCALATION BARRIER Measures to prevent a top event due to a particular threat PREVENTION The scenario which represents losing control of the hazard Measures to mitigate the consequences of a top event MITIGATION Conditions which could cause barrier to fail

9 Communicating hazard management Bowtie diagrams have many different uses: Senior Leaders High-level overview HAZARD BARRIER - A.1 BARRIER A.2 CONSEQUENCE - A BARRIER - B.1 BARRIER B.2 CONSEQUENCE - B Conversation-starter for site visits Context for process safety KPI Workforce Location: TOP EVENT Hazard overview THREAT - 1 BARRIER THREAT - 2 BARRIER 1.2 BARRIER THREAT - 3 BARRIER 2.2 BARRIER BARRIER 3.2 Operational risk assessment Permit risk assessment 10

10 Bowtie use in various industries "Bowtie is one of many barrier risk models available to assist the identification and management of risk and it is this particular model we have found (and are still finding) useful". We are improving our risk management process through the objective centred bow tie approach. 11 ERM is also using bowties with clients in: Food production Manufacturing Road transport Upstream O&G Downstream O&G Chemicals

11 Using Bowties in Process Safety Auditing HAZARD THREAT - 1 BARRIER BARRIER 1.2 CONSEQUENCE - A BARRIER - A.1 BARRIER A.2 THREAT - 2 BARRIER BARRIER 2.2 Location: TOP EVENT CONSEQUENCE - B BARRIER - B.1 BARRIER B.2 THREAT - 3 BARRIER BARRIER 3.2 ESCALATION BARRIER ESCALATION BARRIER Bowties provide all information necessary to develop a focussed audit protocol

12 Using bowties For each barrier on a bowtie Does it actually exist? Is there evidence of a maintenance program? Is the responsible person competent? Is it appropriate for the hazard Is it in good order? 13

13 Typical application Techniques typically applied to: Large organisations with many sites having similar hazards Single sites with a range of hazards Sites which are at an early stage of process safety maturity May have generic bowties for large organisations Generic bowties must be made local what s different here? May need to develop bowties where none exist Hazard Identification Develop bowties for a couple of hazards Developing bowties in a workshop is the first part of the audit! Gaps or deficiencies often become apparent without even looking at the site. 14

14 Typical application HAZID and bowtie workshop Provides insight to audit team to identify areas to investigate further Takes site team on a journey of discovery, rather than just presenting findings Bowtie is useful for site to use in training and for raising process safety awareness 15 Audit process split between Process safety safeguards equipment and tasks Management systems eg MoC, PTW

15 Audit output Findings around: Control strategy Have you got the right controls? Overall control effectiveness Do the controls actually work? Do people know what they have to do to make controls effectiveness? Management systems Do these support the effectiveness of controls? Greater understanding of process safety hazards and the measures necessary to manage them effectively 16

16 Typical Site Audit 4-5 days 2.5 days 2 days

17 Advantages of method Focussed: On those systems, tasks and equipment of direct importance to managing process Flexible: To allow the auditor to follow areas of particular concern at each site Educative: Allows sites to understand why findings are important and the potential outcomes of weaknesses 18

18 Application of method ERM engaged in major programme with manufacturing organisation Sites on all continents Variety of hazards Differing levels of maturity Successful program delivering Understanding of process safety issues across portfolio Increased process safety awareness across sites 19
