Safety analysis objectives

Safety relevant norms require competence of safety analysis processes participants4. To achieve competence, people learn through instruction or experience. Knowledge of (currently) objective part (and related skills) of the activity allows for choice of a plan or perspective. The plan or perspective then determines which elements of the situation are treated as important and which ones are ignored.

Safety promotion subteam This subteam s objective is the raising of safety awareness. They would audit and approve safety improvements and track and support the JSA (job safety analysis) efforts. They could also collect the safety observation forms and hold a drawing to select a few winners at all company meetings. Rewards earned through these... 

If the investigation ends here we speak of a probabilistic safety analysis (PSA). Its main objective is to identify possibly existing weak points in the plant design and to show how they are efficiently removed. 

As already mentioned, the scope and depth of the analyses may differ. If only the left-hand side of the bow-tie diagram is treated, we are dealing with a probabilistic safety analysis. Its results are the expected frequencies of undesired events. The objectives then are to identify weak points and imbalances in the engineered safety systems as weU as to indicate ways for eliminating them. This is the most work-intensive part of a risk analysis. 

The objective of a safety analysis is to help define and to confirm, through adequate analysis tools, the safety basis for the parts of the plant which are important for safety and to ensure that the general design of the plant is capable of complying with the dose limits in force and with the radioactive releases specified for any plant conditions. ...

In general terms, the objective of safety analysis (SA) is to demonstrate that the plant design and its operating procedures (together with well-trained personnel) ensure a high level of protection of the population and workers in case of malfunctions, human errors or assumed external events. 

To overcome these disadvantages we use in this paper SysML for modelling multi-technological systems. In a case study we demonstrate how to model parts of a fuzing system. The objective of the paper is also to show how SysML can be gainfully used to prepare later safety analysis of given systems. 

In order to fulfil safety requirements, a safety analysis of an analogue transmitter has been carried ont and it is presented in this paper. The resnlt of this analysis leads to the impossibility of accomphshing these requirements by means of classical transmitter architecture. Therefore, a Built-In Self-Test (BIST) topology to achieve the demanding objectives is described, and the obtained results are exposed. The BIST implements the intrinsic reactive safety technique, described in this section. 

Methods, criteria, and analysis What management methods and techniques were employed to ensure that safety programs and policies were implemented (management/safety by objectives, for example) Were these methods adequate What criteria were used to evaluate the effectiveness of implementation What types of qualitative or quantitative analyses were done to determine the effectiveness of safety program implementation Were they adequate ... 

PSM or RMP audits have multiple objectives. Most important is the assurance an audit brings or the adequacy of implementation of the particular program. Specifically, the audit measures program effectiveness, identifies deficiencies, and verifies correction of previously identified deficiencies. The audit also provides management with a status assessment and may recommend improvements and identify good practices. The material in this section is based on a portion of the content of a Nuclear QA Certification Course taught at Sandia National Laboratories and several companies, the ASQ Nuclear Auditor Training Manual (ASQ 1986), the System Safety Analysis Handbook (Stephans and Talso 1997), and the OSHA Inspection Manual (U.S. Department of Labor 1994). 

The objective of the review of the deterministic safety analysis is to determine to what extent the existing deterministic safety analysis remains valid when the following aspects have been taken into account actual plant design the actual condition of SSCs and their predicted state at the end of the period covered by the PSR current deterministic methods and current safety standards and knowledge. In addition, the review should also identify any weaknesses relating to the application of the defence in depth concept. 

In an effort to provide some basic guidelines for conducting a JSA, the following information is provided. It might be suggested that the JSA is the closest link that the industrial safety world has to the principles and concepts of system safety analysis. Establishing these guidelines at this juncture will hopefully demonstrate the parallel objectives of industrial safety assurance and system safety analysis. 

The system safety analysis techniques known separately as sneak circuit analysis and software safety analysis have been developed in an effort to address these concerns over system safety and reliability assurance. Although various types of sneak hazards can be identified by analysis, and a variety of software hazard analysis techniques are commonly used, each method is concerned primarily with the same essential objective explained throughout this text hazard risk elimination or reduction to acceptable levels. 

The overall objectives of this chapter are to (1) provide a background on heat transfer in reactor systems (2) describe methods of analysis employed in the reactor thermal-hydraulics and safety with basic analysis processes and tools and (3) provide analysis examples, sources of information, and computer codes used for detailed reactor thermal-hydraulics and safety analysis. 

The objective of disposal is to isolate the wastes from the human environment As nothing in the physical world h pens to 100 %, the question of what degree and diuation of isolation would be sufficient, is an essential theme of safety analysis, as discussed in the second part of this Session. 

Safety analysis data input consists of facts and figures on the production process used, on the materials handled, the technical design of the installation, the operations organization, and the environment. The sum total defines the object under analysis. For the analysis proper, systematic representation of the installation with due consideration of safety aspects as well as selection of work methods and evaluation critieria are significant. 

From previous discussions it is seen that there are safety categories and classes as defined by lEC standards. lEC 61226 defines safety categories for nuclear safety 1. C functions (category A, B, C). lEC 61513 also defines three safety classes for 1. C systems (Class 1, Class 2, Class 3). A nonsafety class (NS) can be added to this classification. Based on the safety analysis, all safety I C subsystems will be assigned to a safety class on a case-by-case basis. Safety importance class (SIC) describes a classification scheme for structures, systems, and components that perform a safety function and contribute to the general safety objectives at ITER during incident/accident situations [12]. In the case of fusion technology, these classifications are termed SICl, 2, and SR. The relationship between these is shown in Table XII/3.3.M. 

P ID is another important information source for process safety analysis. For a modem chemical process, P ID is normally very complex and it is a tedious process to recreate such a drawing in PHASuite. These days, most of the P ID drawings are in some electronic format, such as AutoCAD , SmartPlant P ID etc. The drawings created using older version of CAD tools are composed of lines or curves. In recent years, with the development of object oriented programming, newer CAD tools are object-based and the basic drawing components are blocks instead of lines, and some of them are...
