South Australian Numbered Regulations South Australian Numbered Regulations46—Facility description, formal safety assessment and safety management
system
(1) The safety case
for a facility must contain—
(a) a
description of the facility that complies with subregulation (2); and
(b) a
detailed description of the formal safety assessment for the facility that
provides evidence that the formal safety assessment complies with
subregulation (3); and
(c) a
detailed description of the safety management system that provides evidence
that the system complies with subregulation (4).
(2) The description of
the facility must give details of—
(a) the
layout of the facility; and
(b) the
technical and other control measures identified as a result of the formal
safety assessment; and
(c) the
activities that will, or are likely to, take place at, or in connection with,
the facility; and
(d) any
other relevant matters.
(3) The formal safety
assessment is an assessment, or series of assessments, conducted by the
operator that—
(a)
identifies all hazards having the potential to cause a major accident event;
and
(b) is a
detailed and systematic assessment of the risk associated with each of those
hazards, including the likelihood and consequences of each potential major
accident event; and
(c)
identifies the technical and other control measures that are necessary to
reduce that risk to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable.
Note—
A formal safety assessment relates only to major accident events.
(4) The safety
management system for a facility must—
(a) be
comprehensive and integrated; and
(b)
provide for all activities that will, or are likely to, take place at, or in
connection with, the facility; and
(c)
provide for the continual and systematic identification of hazards to health
and safety of persons at or near the facility; and
(d)
provide for the continual and systematic assessment of—
(i)
the likelihood of the occurrence, during normal or
emergency situations, of injury or occupational illness associated with those
hazards; and
(ii)
the likely nature of such injury or occupational illness;
and
(e)
provide for the reduction to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable
of risks to health and safety of persons at or near the facility including,
but not limited to—
(i)
risks arising during evacuation, escape and rescue in
case of emergency; and
(ii)
risks arising from equipment and hardware; and
(f)
provide for inspection, testing and maintenance of the equipment and hardware
that are the physical control measures for those risks; and
(g)
provide for adequate communications between the facility and any
relevant—
(i)
facility; or
(ii)
vessel; or
(iii)
aircraft; or
(iv)
on-shore installation; and
(h)
provide for any other matter that is necessary to ensure that the safety
management system meets the requirements and objects of this Part; and
(i)
specify the performance standards that apply.
Note—
The safety management system must provide for all hazards and risks to persons
at the facility, not just risks of major accident events.
(5) If an operator of
a facility submits to the Safety Authority a safety case for the construction
or installation stage in the life of the facility, the safety case must
contain the matters mentioned in subregulation (1) in relation to—
(a) the
facility at that stage in the life of the facility; and
(b) the
activities that will, or are likely to, take place at, or in connection with,
the facility during that stage in the life of the facility; and
(c) to
the extent that it is practicable—the facility and the activities that
will, or are likely to, take place when the facility is in operation.
