Large projects integrators. Analysis and management of the data for risk assessment

This paper shows the tools developed to collect, analyse and manage the data needed for risk assessment, within a large project integration activity in a country not covered by the safety regulations typical of European countries and the US. The project, an aluminium mill, was a complex project with the contribution of worldwide machines suppliers, but not involving major risk processes; thus the safety data requirements, the level of analysis to be performed by the equipment providers, first, from the integrator and then from the final user in the end, was not stated. The paper thus shows the framework and the tools developed to manage in the more complete and systematic way as possible the collection of data for safety, their analysis and their communication to the client.
