Improving of safety
In Section 8 it is statedA high level of
health, environment and safetyshall be
established, maintained and improved. This is
an important message to the operators when it
comes to adequatemaintenance of their structures
and not the least in connection withmajor
modification work done on the installations. Over
the operationallife of a structure a number of
modifications of various scales will typicallybe
done. It is important to ensure that such
modifications are in conflict with the text of
section 8 of the Framework Regulation.

FR 9 Principles relating to risk reduction

• Harm or hazard to people, the environment or to
  financial assets shall be prevented or limited in
  accordance with the legislation relating to
  health, the environment and safety, including
  internal requirements and acceptance criteria.
  Over and above this level the risk shall be
  further reduced to the extent possible.
  Assessments on the basis of this provision shall
  be made in all phases of the petroleum
  activities.
• In effectuating risk reduction the party
  responsible shall select the technical,
  operational or organisational solutions which
  according to an individual as well as an overall
  evaluation of the potential harm and present and
  future use offer the best results, provided the
  associated costs are not significantly
  disproportionate to the risk reduction achieved.
• If there is insufficient knowledge about the
  effects that use of the technical, operational or
  organisational solutions may have on health,
  environment and safety, solutions that will
  reduce this uncertainty shall be chosen.
• Factors which may cause injury, damage or
  nuisance to people, the environment or to
  financial assets in the petroleum activities
  shall be replaced by factors which in an overall
  evaluation have less potential for injury, damage
  or nuisance.

  for risk relating to major accident and risk
  relating to the environment.
• Acceptance criteria shall be established for
• a) the personnel on the facility as a whole, and
  for groups of personnel which are particularly
  risk exposed,
• b) the loss of main safety functions as mentioned
  in Section 6 of the Facilities Regulations
  relating to main safety functions,

NORSOK N-001 Structural Design

• Limit state design method
• Limit state This term refers to a state of the
  structure where the structure or a part of the
  structure no longer fulfils the requirements
  ensuring that the structure performs according to
  the design specifications.
• Limit state conveniently controlled by an
  equation on the form

  2, 3 or 10 depending on severity of a fatigue
  failure.10 is used for cases with large
  consequences which additionally is difficult to

NORSOK N-001 Structural Design

• Accidental Damage Limit State (ALS)The purpose
  of the accidental damage limit state is to ensure
  that a given accidental scenario does not lead to
  a complete loss of the integrity of the
  structure. Partial safety factors are in most
  cases set equal to 1.0, the characteristic
  accidental load shall correspond to an annual
  exceedance probability og 10-4, and the capacity
  used may utilize plasticity and system effects.
  Minor local damage is permissible within
  ALS.In damaged condition, structure shall
  withstand 10-2 annual probability enviromental
  loads.For Norwegian Continental Shelf, rare
  environmnetal loads (10-4 annual probability
  loads) shall be used in controlled using the
  accidental limit state.
