Safety Cases

Our capabilities include extensive experience in the preparation and revision of Safety Cases for both offshore and onshore Major Hazard Facilities (MHF). Bureau Veritas has received international recognition as being an ‘industry leader’ in its ability to develop Safety Cases. Since 2000, we have undertaken the development or update of over 50 Safety Cases, most requiring regulatory acceptance.

Our team of engineers have demonstrated knowledge and understanding of all elements of a Safety Case and the associated regulatory and legislative requirements for MHF in Australia. Their experience includes the three major components of a Safety Case:

- Facility Description;
- Safety Management System;
- Formal Safety Assessment.
