Petroleum and natural gas industries - Offshore production installations - Major Accident hazard management during the design of new installations (ISO 17776:2016)

This document describes processes for managing major accident (MA) hazards during the design of
offshore oil and gas production installations. It provides requirements and guidance on the development
of strategies both to prevent the occurrence of MAs and to limit the possible consequences. It also
contains some requirements and guidance on managing MA hazards in operation.
This document is applicable to the design of
— fixed offshore structures, and
— floating systems for production, storage and offloading
for the petroleum and natural gas industries.
The scope includes all credible MA hazards with the potential to have a material effect on people, the
environment and assets.
This document is intended for the larger projects undertaken to develop new offshore installations.
However, the principles are also applicable to small or simple projects or design changes to existing
facilities and can also be relevant to onshore production facilities.
Mobile offshore units as defined in this document are excluded, although many of the principles can
be used as guidance. The design of subsea facilities are also excluded, though the effects of mobile and
subsea facilities are considered if they can lead to major accidents that affect an offshore installation.
This document does not cover the construction, commissioning, abandonment or security risks
associated with offshore installations.
The decision to apply the requirements and guidance of this document, in full or in part, is intended to
be based on an assessment of the likelihood and possible consequences of MA hazards.

Industrija nafte in zemeljskega plina - Plavajoči proizvodni objekti - Upravljanje nevarnosti večjih nesreč med načrtovanjem novih objektov (ISO 17776:2016)

Ta dokument opisuje postopke za upravljanje nevarnosti večjih nesreč (MA) med načrtovanjem plavajočih proizvodnih objektov za črpanje nafte in plina. Vsebuje zahteve in smernice za razvoj
strategij za preprečevanje nevarnosti nastanka večjih nesreč in omejevanje možnih posledic. Vsebuje tudi nekatere zahteve in smernice za upravljanje nevarnosti večjih nesreč med obratovanjem.
Ta dokument se uporablja za načrtovanje:
– fiksnih naftnih ploščadi in
– plavajočih sistemov za proizvodnjo, shranjevanje in pretovarjanje
v proizvodnji nafte in zemeljskega plina.
Področje vključuje vse verjetne nevarnosti večjih nesreč, ki lahko bistveno vplivajo na ljudi, okolje in premoženje.
Ta dokument je namenjen za večje projekte, pri katerih se načrtuje namestitev novih objektov. Načela pa veljajo tudi za majhne ali preproste projekte ali spremembe načrtov v obstoječih objektih ter so lahko pomembne tudi za obrate na kopnem.
Premične plavajoče enote, kot so določene v tem dokumentu, niso zajete, čeprav je mnoga načela iz tega standarda mogoče uporabiti kot smernice. Načrtovanje podvodnih objektov je prav tako izključeno, čeprav se upoštevajo učinki premičnih in podvodnih objektov, če lahko privedejo do večjih nesreč, ki vplivajo na plavajoči objekt. Ta dokument ne zajema gradnje, zagona, opustitve ali varnostnega tveganja, povezanega s plavajočimi objekti.
Odločitev o uporabi zahtev in smernic tega dokumenta, v celoti ali po delih, naj
bi temeljila na oceni verjetnosti in možnih posledic nevarnosti večjih nesreč.

Introduction
The purpose of this document is to establish requirements and provide guidance for the effective
management of major accident (MA) hazards during the design of new offshore installations for the
petroleum and natural gas industries.
The management of MA hazards involves the application of engineering expertise and knowledge to
provide the measures needed to meet the objectives set by the organizations involved in the project
development. A range of tools for evaluating and assessing the likelihood and consequences of MAs
is needed to help select the measures to be implemented, and to judge when sufficient measures have
been provided.
This process is built on the underlying integrity provided by the application of internationally
recognized codes and standards.
This document covers the following main elements:
— establishing general requirements for identifying MA hazards and their causes;
— assessing MA hazards to understand their likelihood and possible consequences;
— developing suitable strategies for managing MA hazards;
— progressively improving the understanding of MA hazards and their consequences to guide design
decisions during the development phases of the installation;
— providing the measures needed to manage all credible MAs;
— maintaining the measures throughout the life of the installation.
The technical content of this document is arranged as follows:
a) objectives: the goals to be achieved;
b) functional requirements: specifying requirements considered necessary to meet the stated
objectives;
c) annexes: guidelines in support of the functional requirements.
This document should be read in conjunction with ISO 13702 and ISO 15544.

Introduction
The purpose of this International Standard is to establish requirements and provide guidance for the effective
management of Major Accident (MA) hazards during the design of new offshore installations for the
petrochemical and natural gas industries.
The management of MA hazards involves the application of engineering expertise and knowledge to provide
the measures needed to meet the objectives set by the organizations involved in the project development. A
range of tools for evaluating and assessing the likelihood and consequences of MAs is needed to help select
measures to be implemented and to judge when sufficient measures have been provided.
This process is built on the underlying integrity provided by the application of internationally recognised codes
and standards.
This International Standard covers the following main elements:
 establishing general requirements for identifying MA hazards and their causes;
 evaluating MA hazards to understand their likelihood and possible consequences;
 developing suitable strategies for managing MA hazards;
 progressively improving the understanding of MA hazards and their consequences to guide design
decisions during the development phases of the installation;
 providing the measures needed to manage a MA;
 maintaining the measures throughout the life of the installation.
This International Standard should be read in conjunction with ISO 13702 and ISO 15544.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 17776

Petroleum and natural gas industries — Offshore production
installations — Major Accident hazard management during the
design of new installations
1 Scope
This International Standard describes processes for managing Major Accident (MA) hazards associated with
the design and operation of offshore oil and gas production installations. It provides requirements and
guidance on the development of strategies both to prevent the occurrence of MAs and to control and mitigate
the possible consequences.
This International Standard is applicable to the design of
 fixed offshore structures, and
 floating systems for production, storage and offloading
for the petroleum and natural gas industries.
The scope includes all MA hazards with the potential to have a material effect on personnel, assets and the
environment.
This International Standard is intended for large capital projects related to offshore operating installations.
However, the principles are also applicable to small or simple projects or design changes to existing facilities,
and can also be relevant to onshore production facilities.
This International Standard is not applicable to mobile offshore units and subsea installations, although many
of the principles contained in this International Standard can be used as guidance. It does not cover the
construction, commissioning, abandonment or security risks associated with offshore installations.
The decision to apply the requirements and guidance of this International Standard, in full or in part, is
intended to be based on an assessment of the likelihood and possible consequences of MA hazards.
The technical content of this International Standard is arranged as follows:
a) Objectives: the goals to be achieved;
b) Functional requirements: activities considered necessary to meet the stated objectives;
c) Annexes: guidelines in support of the functional requirements.

4 Major Accident hazard management overview
4.1 General
The process to manage MA hazards shall align with the principles and framework set out in ISO/IEC 31000,
and shall
 establish the context prior to starting or executing any of the elements of the process;
 update the context throughout the process;
 apply a thorough process for communicating, consulting, monitoring and review.
In developing the context for managing MA hazards, 'lessons learned' from other organizations, accident
reports and general safety bulletins made available for public review shall be taken into account where these
identify additional hazards, additional measurers, or highlight deficiencies in the current measures for the
management of MA hazards on offshore installations. This is part of a continual improvement effort which
requires users to seek opportunities for improving their designs on a continual basis.
A process to manage MA hazards shall be applied throughout all stages of a project. Designs shall be
regularly reviewed during their development and changed as necessary to achieve the strategies developed to
meet the defined objectives and risk criteria.
Modifications to an existing installation shall be conducted under an appropriate management of change
(MOC) process. To assess how any modification can change the likelihood or consequences of an MA, a
good understanding is needed of the existing MA hazards and any new MA hazards introduced by the
change. It is also necessary to understand the effectiveness of the current strategies to manage the existing
MA hazards, in order to avoid compromising design measures already implemented to reduce risk.
If strategies for managing the MA hazards are not available, the requirements and guidance provided in this
International Standard shall be used to identify the existing MA hazards and develop suitable strategies to
manage them.
The outcome of this process is the measures necessary to manage each type of MA hazard for the life cycle
of the installation. In order to determine the most effective range of design measures, a systematic analysis,
