3D Model Reviews

What: HF approach to 3D model review is systematic; structured via analysis of operator tasks. Identifies issues relating to access (e.g. stairs and ladders, valves, pumps and other maintainable kit, emergency items).

When used: FEED and Detailed Design.Output: Report and recommendations, normally identifying issues via 3D

model or drawing snapshots.Example: Atkins HF Team reviewed the Surmont FEL 3 3D model and made

107 recommendations (January 2010).

What: Assessing planned escape routes against standards and assumptions. Assessing escape time (considering crowd flow if applicable). Verifying stretcher access and identifying ‘hot spots’. Recommending stretcher types / designs.

When used: FEED and Detailed Design.Output: Report and recommendations, normally identifying issues via 3D

model or drawing snapshots.

Escape Analyses and Stretcher Access

Control Room Design

What: HF is necessary to achieve an integrated control room design. Various methods are used to develop individual control stations and the CR to layout to facilitate supervision, communication and movement. Task, lighting, noise, display, ventilation and security requirements are integrated into design.

When used: Concept (plant layout and sizing), FEED and Detailed Design.Output: Improved operational performance, reduced operator fatigue,

improved communication and effective crisis response.

Is the alarm necessary?

Does the alarm identify root cause of the problem?

Avoids alarm ‘flooding’ and ‘chattering’

What is the distinct operator response?

Applies advanced alarm management techniques

Sets alarm priorities

What: Alarms are a crucial part of the control room and plant management. Workshop format is used to configure alarm system and develop strategy for development.

When used: Detailed Design.Output: Alarm management strategy, properly configured alarm system,

documented operator responses, input to training.

Alarm Management

What: CRIOP is a comprehensive method of evaluating crane cabin design and layout including sight lines, controls, communication, computer interaction, access and other hazards.

When used: During design or evaluation of crane, truck or excavator control cabins. May be used to make a comparative assessment between designs.

Output: Report and design recommendations.

Crane & Truck Cabin Assessments (CRIOP)

Hazard Identification (HAZID)

What: Task- and guideword-structured method used to identify hazards to personnel. Identifies problems with equipment and procedures, hazardous conditions and mismatches between human abilities and job requirements.

When used: Detailed Design and Operations.Output: Report and recommendations.

What: Guidance on effective control of fatigue. Training on the effects of fatigue on performance, design and scheduling implications and effective shiftwork design.

When used: Detailed Design and Operations.

Output: Report and recommendations.

Fatigue Management

Safety CultureWhat: Developing an effective safety culture

via assessment and appropriate interventions. Engaging the workforce to think and behave safely.

When used: Detailed Design and Operations.

Output: Analysis, meetings and workforce engagement.
