(1) The safety case in
respect of a facility must specify adequate procedures for shutting down or
isolating, in the event of emergency, each pipeline connected to the facility,
so as to stop the flow of hazardous substances through the pipeline.
(2) In particular, the
procedures must include—
(a)
effective means of controlling and operating all relevant emergency shut-down
valves for a pipeline; and
(b) a
fail-safe system of isolating a pipeline in the event of failure of other
safety devices for the pipeline.
(3) The safety case in
respect of a facility must also specify—
(a)
adequate means of mitigating, in the event of emergency, the risks associated
with each pipeline connected to the facility; and
(b) a
frequency of periodic inspection and testing of pipeline emergency shut-down
valves that can reasonably be expected to ensure that they will operate
correctly in an emergency.
