| Guidance Note Title | Safety Case Content and Level of Detail |
| Principal Audience | This guidance note provides direction on the content and level of detail expected to be included in relation to each of the major aspects of a safety case submission (Facility Description, SMS description, FSA description) such that it complies with the contents requirements of MoSOF and provides evidence that risks are reduced to a level that is ALARP. This guidance is intended for those with responsibility for safety at the facility, and specifically to those developing the safety case. |
| Core Concepts |
- The safety case must contain sufficient information and provide enough evidence to show that the control measures reduce risk to ALARP, and that the SMS is comprehensive and integrated for all aspects of the adopted control measures
- Only by inclusion of sufficient information will the safety authority be able to make a judgement on the appropriateness of the safety case in accordance with the regulations
