To date, the first round of FMEA and HAZOP have been conducted to evaluate the risk and safety performance of the detailed system design. Recommendations on corrective or enhancement actions have been provided to the designers. The D7.3 M20 progress report has been prepared to explain the HAZOP and FMEA outcomes and the approaches performed to achieve such outcomes are explained in detail, including
- Description of the risk assessment method, i.e. the HAZOP and FMEA
- Scope and objectives of the assessment
- Roles of workshop participants and their areas of expertise
- The employed risk acceptance criteria and risk matrix
- The assessment outcomes such as the completed HAZOP and FMEA worksheet
- Results of the risk assessment of the system and
- The action list and recommendations to specific consortium members.
This document focuses on the scope, approach, key participants, outcomes and recommendations from HAZOP and FMEA workshop.The HAZOP and FMEA workshops were undertaken over 3 days respectively in an online format to cater for the wide audience.
In the next stage, the focus of Task T7.3 is to re-assess the safety and risk performance of the system design after incorporating the list of recommended corrective or improvement actions. If any other safety or risk issue raised during updating the design, such issues or updates will also be reported in the next version of D7.3. In addition, specific attention will be paid to the items or operational issues that have been rated with high risk level to identify the optimised mitigation solutions for them. The potential Risk Control Options (RCOs) will be studied in detail including evaluation of their effectiveness and feasibility. This will also include the Cost-Benefit Assessment (CBA) of these potential mitigation solutions as the decision should be made on a multi-criteria basis and cost is one of the critical factors to consider. This task will provide essential input to WP10 as part of performance evaluation regarding cost effectiveness of the developed solution.
