This procedure highlights what needs to be achieved in order to ensure the change in operating condition (or
maintenance/inspection routines) does not compromise safety or increase risk to the environment or asset.
The bulk of the work associated with these changes is risk assessment and understanding the full extent of
the reasoning behind the current limits. These changes can only be implemented when the control measures
are fully developed and implemented.

Consult all stakeholders.
Assess the risks associated, including :
x
Risks to personnel safety and the environment;
x
Risk of catastrophic failure;
x
Risk of fire;
x
Effect on ship stability or watertight integrity;
x
Risk associated with change of demand on ship’s s

x
Effect of changed procedure on ships programme
–
reducing frequency of stores delivery;
x
Effect of change on ships programme
–
reducing frequency of a mandatory maintenance routine
may increase vessel availability but then present problems regarding crew fatigue or scheduling
other maintenance.
x
Deficiency of training / familiarization to new operating conditions.
