Cryogenic Storage & LNG Equipment worked example

Cryogenic Safety Compliance Burden with cryogenic hazard severity score of 15 score: a worked example

Push cryogenic hazard severity score up to 15 score and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when cryogenic safety compliance burden in cryogenic storage and lng equipment needs a defensible ranking against other cryogenic storage and lng equipment risks for the next review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Cryogenic hazard severity score: 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • Hazard occurrence likelihood score: 4 score (unchanged)
  • Existing control detection score: 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Cryogenic compliance burden score = severity × occurrence × detection) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8.15 score for cryogenic compliance burden score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 15 score for compliance impact severity.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4 score for occurrence likelihood.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3 score for control detection score.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where cryogenic hazard severity score sits at 6 score and the headline result is 4.55 score, this scenario comes in 79.12% above the baseline at 8.15 score.
  • It multiplies hazard severity, occurrence likelihood, and current control detection into a single cryogenic risk priority score for ranking compliance actions. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Cryogenic compliance burden score: 8.15 score (headline result)
  • Compliance impact severity: 15 score
  • Occurrence likelihood: 4 score
  • Control detection score: 3 score
