The concept of a safety case comes from the requirements of the European Union/European Community (EU/EC) Seveso Directive (82/501/EC) and, in particular, regulations that the United Kingdom and other member states used to implement that directive. United Kingdom regulations (Control of Industrial Major Accident Hazards [CIMAH], 1984 replaced by Control of Major Accident Hazards Involving Dangerous Substances [COMAH] in 1999) require that major hazardous facilities produce a safety report or safety case.64 The requirement for a safety case is initiated by a list of chemicals and a class of flammables. Like the hazard analysis approach (Section 8.1.2), experts identify the reactive hazards of the process if analysis shows that the proposed process is safe, it may be excluded from additional regulatory requirements.

In the UK, the Seveso Directives led to the creation of the Control of Industrial Major Accident Hazards (CIMAH) regulations in 1984. These regulations required manufacturers of hazardous chemicals to create a Safety Report— in effect a Safety Case. They also had to show how the hazards were being effectively managed. CIMAH was replaced by Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) in 1999. [Pg.250]
