e-Safety Case

At RMRI, we firmly believe that the key to ensuring safe operations is not only to undertake appropriate safety and risk assessment studies, but, equally importantly, to ensure that the results of these studies are communicated in a way that can be readily understood by all personnel.

Ongoing advances in technology mean that it is now easier than ever to produce and link documents in a graphical, dynamic electronic format that will considerably enhance their utility, providing an easily and widely accessible version of a Safety Case.

At RMRI, we have developed an outline format for such an ‘e-Safety Case’.

Accessibility

The e-Safety Case is internet-based, so that all personnel throughout an organisation, whatever their location, can access the information.

It uses a website style ‘point and click’ navigation system to aid usability and effectively provides a ‘one stop shop’ for all your HSE data.

Communication

In order to aid understanding, RMRI’s e-Safety case presents information graphically and pictorially where possible and appropriate. Further information is also available by ‘drilling down’ once a basic level of understanding has been obtained, or if more detailed knowledge is required.

This means that the e-Safety Case is less daunting than a traditional paper Safety Case and will be more effective in promoting understanding of safety issues amongst workforce personnel.

The e-Safety Case provides an ideal medium for communicating data in a clear and concise way that both satisfies regulatory requirements and is useful to the workforce. It aims to encourage more involvement of offshore personnel in the Safety Case process and to ‘bridge’ the gap between the views of onshore and offshore personnel on safety.
