3.0 Scope
The scope of this document is to identify, analyse and compile all reasonably
foreseeable hazards which might impact on the use of these rigs in their stated
design function of driver escape training.
The rigs are also used in the training of rescue divers who can train in extracting
"drivers" from the cell and in the procedure and methodology of so doing. They learn
how to open the canopy, remove the steering wheel and undo a harness prior to
extracting the driver in a safe manner. They usually commence their training by
observing experienced rescue divers perform the extraction using a "Osprey" diver
as the disabled driver in the cell and then proceed with more experience to carrying
out extractions themselves until deemed SQEP.
When operated by the Osprey Rescue Team Ltd. it is assumed that ALL personnel
are Suitably Qualified Experienced Personnel (SQEP) and have received the
appropriate training for the role(s) that they perform on the rig and are of satisfactory
fitness to do so.
The hazard risk assessment, hazard analysis and proposed mitigations are
contained within the hazard log and are detailed and explained in Chapter 5 of this
document. In order to achieve the criterion for European Law that the risks have
been reduced "So Far As is Reasonably Practicable" (SFARP), the risks were further
re-assessed to ensure that the cost benefit analysis applied to each hazard was
such that it can be stated that each hazard risk has been mitigated to "As Low As
Reasonably Practicable" (ALARP) in line with current safety practice.
Any hazard risk that does not meet that criterion must be highlighted and further
attempts at reducing it to ALARP must be carried out continually. This does not
mean that the rigs cannot operate with a higher risk level, only that the risk must be
considered at all times when the rigs are operated.
