Safety Accreditation Office

System Safety Engineering and Risk Assessment A Practical Approach 

The regulator is the ultimate approval authority and accredits the competency and capacity, and the systans are safe for the entire system life cycle, especially during operations. The accreditation package is a very large data file that should include all relevant safety information. Some of the typical data elements (but not comprehensive) include 

Third-party inspections, audits, and testing, including independent safety

The other function of the office is to track, trend, and analyze all industry safety and risk data and maintain current risk profiles of industry organizations. The office is responsible for conducting industry-level risk assessments and determining the efficacy of current safety regulations and the accreditation process. Advanced research and new approaches to safety oversight or SMS implementation are also developed in this office. In other words, this office can be viewed as a continuous safety improvement office. Information from this office should feed back into the other safety offices reporting to the executive director. 

General guidelines for initial disposal (D, dilute with water neutralize, if necessary, with an appropriate inorganic acid or base and flush down drain C, chlorinated solvent disposal NC, non-chlorinated solvent disposal S, solid disposal in accredited landfill site or burned in a chemical incinerator R, refer to local safety officer)... 

Working at heights was common and the environment was noisy and hot. There had been a long-term commitment to safety management that predated the Health and Safety at Work Act. Full-time safety advisers and fire officers were employed on the site and welfare facilities included a surgery staffed by an occupational health nurse during the day. First aid cover was provided, in the first instance, by employees trained to Health and Safety Executive standards. The company claimed that approximately 20 per cent of its capital expenditure had been safety-related for many years previously. As part of its strategy of continuous improvement the plant had been accredited to ISO 9000. 

The quality standard, which was the first in the series of management system standards, is an imcomfortable fit with the safety and environment management system standards. Managers should be aware that regulatory enforcement officers are likely to be influenced more by their own (HSE s) guidance than by accreditation to a safety management system awarded by commercial oiganisations.
