ABSTRACT
The undertaking of a Formal Safety Assessment or Safety Case provides an opportunity for the offshore industry to consider the human contribution to risk and to examine the Human Factors aspects of safety management. This paper summarises an approach for incorporating Human Factors into offshore QRA, including the evaluation of escape, evacuation and rescue. It then proceeds to describe a framework for evaluating the Safety Management System with respect to managing human error. The essential components of the SMS are identified as Demand Optimisation, Capacity Optimisation, Incentive Motivation, and Feedback Control.
