In your safety role on an offshore oil production platform, you have been asked to
take part in a risk assessment and subsequent procedures for the preparation and
repair of a large, electrically-driven pump containing a hot, flammable liquid. The
pump needs to be stopped, the large suction and discharge valves closed, the pump
contents removed and the pump inerted before the repair is carried out.
A. Identify hazards AND, in EACH case, outline an associated risk
with the preparation of the pump:

, - the temperature of the pump and associated pipework leading to the risk
of burns from contact.
- the vertical distance (work at height) leading to falls from height.
- the pump accidentally being started and leading to injury from contact
with rotating parts.
- the release of flammable vapour leading to fire/explosion
- the gas used for inerting will reduce the oxygen concentration and may
lead to asphyxiation
- the use of excessive force to close valves leading to manual handling
injury.
Safety case documents offshore and safety report documents onshore contain similar
information requirements
B. Outline reasons for using these documents.

- It helps demonstrate that risks are being managed;
- this demonstrates compliance with legal requirements;
- it can show best practice is being used;
- it may be used as evidence in legal proceedings and may be used to
satisfy insurers.
