Process Safety: a comprehensive risk assessment (COMPASS)
At the beginning of 2009 the COMPASS Global Operative Regulation –a crucial part of our group level HSE MS – was created, which provides a comprehensive corporate framework for HSE risk assessment and management. Together with proposed risk control measures this will be put into a group level Risk register, throughout which we aim to achieve not only consistent and transparent assessment practice but an overall HSE Risk Map of the Group as well.
In 2009 the minimum HSE risk assessment requirements at the group, division and business management levels were established, providing standardized risk assessment methodologies and tools using international practices in HSE risk assessment (quantitative and qualitative methods), which are conducted in accordance with 10 respected methodologies (e.g. Hazid, Envid, JSA, Hazop, QRA, EIA, etc.).
The COMPASS project merges the former SEVESO and process safety management (PSM) projects and therefore within one project all kinds of HSE risks processes, jobs, health and environmental related issues will be assessed.
