Living Safety Cases for Energy & Offshore
An ISO 17776/IOGP-style major accident hazard matrix scored across Personnel, Environment and Asset, with SIL 1-3 SIF requirements and live bowtie diagrams — the method the offshore industry itself pioneered.
ISO 17776 Major Accident Hazards, Scored by Consequence Category
SAFOPS's oil & gas project template starts from an ISO 17776/IOGP-style risk matrix, scoring each major accident hazard across Personnel, Environment and Asset consequence categories, with SIL 1-3 Safety Instrumented Function requirements built in as a reviewable starting point you adjust to your own facility's risk criteria, not a fixed black box. An automated consistency check keeps the template and its example project aligned, so a new project always starts from the reviewed baseline.
Interactive Bowtie Diagrams: The Method Your HAZID Register Already Uses
Initiating events, safety-critical elements, and consequences are modelled as interactive bowtie diagrams — the same visual method the offshore industry has used for major accident hazard management for decades, made live instead of static. Hover any barrier to see its zone of influence, spot single points of failure, and open deficiencies directly on the diagram. Deficiencies flow straight into the Deficiencies Schedule, and a safety-critical element shared across several hazards is recognised once rather than credited twice.
A Tamper-Evident Audit Trail for Process Safety Review
Every edit to the safety case, whether made by an engineer or suggested by the optional AI copilot, is logged in a SHA-256 hash chain. Altering any past entry is immediately detectable — a verifiable record for internal review and regulator inspection alike. For sites that require it, SAFOPS also runs fully on-premise or air-gapped; see Security & Deployment. Scrub back through that history with Time Machine, or freeze an approved version as a formal issue.
Software, With Safety Engineers Behind It
You don't have to adopt SAFOPS alone. Our safety engineers can do the work in the platform for you — performing the HAZID/HAZOP-informed risk assessments, building and managing the hazard log, and structuring the major accident hazard case — from a one-off migration of a legacy paper safety case to ongoing management of the live case between periodic reviews. Use SAFOPS as a tool, a fully managed service, or anything in between.
