Abstract

The applicability of inherent safety throughout the different steps of the engineering design and management lifecycle is discussed in the present paper. The concept of a design space as a representation of different stages and levels of the safety design process is introduced. This provides a framework for a systematic, step-by-step safety analysis of the process design and also to recognize the opportunity to implement inherently safer design. Further, the selection and design of add-on safety strategies and implementation of risk control measures through engineered (active or passive) or procedural approaches using inherent safety principles is described. A procedural methodology is suggested to support the application of the described approach, resulting in a tool suitable for inherent safety implementation throughout the process design lifecycle. Application of the proposed approach is demonstrated through use of an industrial example.
