Verification

Dutyholders have a statutory duty to control the risks of a major accident as defined in the Offshore Installations (Safety Case) Regulations 2005 (SCR2005)/ Offshore Installations (Safety Case) Regulations 2015 (SCR2015). They must ensure that safety critical elements and the PFEER (Offshore Installations (Prevention of Fire and Explosion, and Emergency Response) Regulations 1995) specified plant are initially suitable and remain suitable for the life of the installation.

Dutyholders also have a further duty under SCR2005/SCR2015 to put in place and keep under continual review a verification scheme by means of which assurance is obtained from an independent competent person (ICP) that safety critical elements and PFEER specified plant are suitable and remain suitable for the life of the installation."
