The safety case framework – which is backed by the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) –would require companies to demonstrate – through a written report – how major hazards are to be controlled and risks reduced to “as low as reasonably practicable” (ALARP). According to the CSB, a safety case approach represents a fundamental change by shifting the responsibility for continuous reductions in major accident risks from regulators to the company. That framework is in use in regulatory regimes such as those in the UK, Australia, and Norway.
