The basic aim of the main study phase is to develop the necessary basis for government approval and for the main contracts. The project matnres the concept further and establishes a contractual strategy, technical specifications and other tender documents. A Plan for the development and operation of the installation and an Environmental Impact statement are developed and transmitted to the authorities. They are based on input from different SHE studies, including a coarse Risk and Emergency Preparedness Analysis (REPA). A primary aim is to provide input to the documentation required by the authorities. The different SHE analyses... 

The project screens different development concepts. Risks that may make a concept unfeasible or result in high extra costs are focused on in special studies. An independent consultant carries out coarse Risk and emergency-preparedness analysis (REPA) for the two development alternatives that are considered (NORSOK Standard Z-013, see Norsk Standard, 1998). They are a standard production ship and a standard semi-submersible PDQ platform. The aim is to get a total overview of the risks involved for concept selection and to check compliance with the acceptance criteria. It is important to remember that the REPA and the acceptance criteria evaluate the integrity of passive and embedded barriers in particular. These are to a large extent determined in the early project phase. 

The Risk and Emergency-Preparedness Analysis (REPA) is also subject to updating with new incidents and in connection with modifications. The aim in the latter case is to check that the modifications do not violate any of the acceptance criteria for the risk of major accidents.

The NORSOK Standard Z-013 is a standard edited by theNPD (Norwegian Petroleum Directorate), which is a Norwegian agency in charge to regulate the oil industry activities in the North Sea. This standard has been reedited in 2001 and refers to risk analysis and emergency preparedness. 

Wireless Priority Service (WPS) can improve connection capabilities for a limited number of authorized national security and emergency preparedness mobile phone users. In the event of congestion in the wireless network, an emergency call using WPS will take priority queuing for the next available channel. Obtain a last-resort backup means of communication such as wireless, WIFI, or satellite. Consider HF radio as an option, recognizing that HF usually requires a skilled operator such as a licensed HAM radio operator. Evaluate the resiliency, redundancy, and interoperability of the system while performing your inventory and risk assessment analysis. 

Law and liability, threat and risk assessment, emergency preparedness, and safety design form the beginning of identifying a need for occupational safety awareness. The basic questions of Where we are Where do we need to be and How do we get there identify occupational safety needs and help us to form our objective for efficient and effective occupational safety programs. Risk assessment and cost analysis round out the formula for determining occupational safety needs. 

The internal control regulation of SHE and all the 15 specific regulations regarding risk analysis, emergency preparedness, working environment, etc. have been replaced by a framework regulation, and four more detailed pieces of regulation on ... 

As part of Process Safety Management (PSM) requirements by both OSHA and the EPA, both risk analysis and emergency response management require the determination (i.e., identification and evaluation) of incident scenarios that are likely to develop at an installation. Risk analyses techniques such as PITA, What-If, HAZOP, etc., will systematically review a process to determine possible deviations from the intended processes that may result in events such as fire and explosions. Additionally, emergency response preparedness plans usually develop creditable scenarios that may develop and the generic responses that are required. These PSM techniques... 

Maintain safety/security of life and health . The selected approach involves a form of backwards risk analysis , or risk analysis starting from the consequences, see e.g. (Aven 2009), which means that we first select the consequences that we are most concerned about, and then find events that could lead to these consequences. This of course means that not all events that could lead to consequences in terms of the societal values are included instead, focus is placed on certain types of events that will challenge the emergency preparedness.
