Functional Safety Management within the constraints of a real-life major project
Consider FS plan from the very beginning, even bid or FEED
Make sure whoever is responsible for FS really understands both the
technicalities of the standard and how projects work. An academic approach is
of little value.
The FS management plan is the key document and the first issue must be very
early
Contractual disputes between Operator, EPC and suppliers can become a
major obstacle to a successful implementation
Adopt a semi-continuous FSA strategy with the right (pragmatic) assessor. Go
for a person, rather than a company.
