Equally important to choosing the correct pipeline risk modeling approach is ensuring the identified risks are properly managed through a fully integrated risk management program. Implementing the most sophisticated risk modeling algorithm on the market will not help a company manage their risks if the model and associated program are not usable to the company. The role of a framework is to provide specific guidance to support other company programs by referencing applicable management system elements and outlining additional elements specific to the program itself. A successful risk management framework sets the groundwork for effective risk management by ensuring the risk management program is integrated into the company in a way in which all relevant stakeholders benefit from its use. This paper outlines common pipeline risk management framework elements and their links to the Pipeline Safety Management System elements set forth in API RP 1173. As the development of such a framework is often an iterative process, prioritized aspects are identified for companies undertaking the development of such a system.

In June 1996, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated 40 CFR Part 68, Accidental Release Prevention Requirements: Risk Management Programs (RMP) Under Clean Air Act, Section 112 r (7), commonly called the RMP rule. Much of the RMP rule was already required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) 29 CFR 1910.119 Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals (the PSM Standard), which had been issued four years earlier. Because both of these regulations include anhydrous ammonia at a threshold level of 10,000 lbs., many refrigerated warehousing and manufacturing facilities are subject to them. Since the two regulations have the same threshold quantity for ammonia, facilities that are subject to RMP are also subject to PSM. While the focus of the two regulations differs, there are many common requirements, as shown in Table 1, Comparison of Process Safety Management and Risk Management Program Requirements. Both rules require the development of extensive accident prevention programs, which include Process Hazard Analyses, operation and maintenance procedures, training, and emergency response plans. The RMP rule also requires Offsite Consequence Analyses and a Plan summary submittal to the EPA before a process starts up and at five-year intervals thereafter. The Program 3 Prevention Program required to satisfy RMP, is almost identical to a PSM program. Most subject facilities, therefore, use their PSM Program to serve as their RMP Prevention Program. In Florida, the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) took delegation of the RMP rule from the EPA and is the enforcing agency in this state. Since the summer of 2000, the DCA has been auditing RMP facilities for compliance with the rule, and their list of audit subjects has included several citrus manufacturing facilities. The DCA staff has been performing very thorough audits, looking closely at all of the RMP Prevention Program, or PSM Program, elements and evaluating their implementation status at each site. The DCA typically cites RMP Prevention Program deficiencies in the following areas: Mechanical Integrity, Standard Operating Procedures, Process Hazard Analysis, training records, incident investigation reporting, compliance audits, and emergency response planning. Although Florida does not have a State-OSHA program, the DCA is, effectively, serving in this function as they audit the PSM programs of refrigerated facilities throughout the state. Facility owners should therefore ensure that their PSM/RMP Prevention Programs are well developed and well implemented prior to a DCA audit. Paper published with permission.

Current developmental trends and changing demands at national, regional, and international markets have created new risks for universities in the context of the operation of the knowledge-based economy. In order to effectively manage the risks that might have possible repercussions on ensuring the efficiency, competitiveness, and continuity of processes at the RA universities, the latter ones are obliged to employ clear principles, approaches, processes, and procedures that imply the establishment and operation of a risk management system. The purpose of this article is to propose a risk management framework for universities as a precondition to increase the efficiency of strategic management of RA universities.

Risk Management Framework

Project success depends on the ability to respond to risks and make correct decisions in a timely manner. The project approach provides a better framework for implementing a new management system into the company’s business processes. The risk management framework developed by the company comprises a risk management infrastructure, a set of standards, human resources, and a risk management information system. To improve staff compliance, it is necessary to provide training and to communicate the goals of the project effectively. It is also important to develop a motivation system because well trained and motivated staff are able to work more efficiently.
