Cryogenic Safety Compliance Burden with cryogenic hazard severity score of 3 score: a worked example

This worked example runs the cryogenic safety compliance burden numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: cryogenic hazard severity score of 3 score instead of the typical 6 score. Score the relative burden of cryogenic safety compliance actions such as relief review, oxygen-deficiency controls, vent routing, training, or permit gaps.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Cryogenic hazard severity score: 3 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 6)
  • Hazard occurrence likelihood score: 4 score (held at the documented default)
  • Existing control detection score: 3 score (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Cryogenic compliance burden score = severity × occurrence × detection.
  • Cryogenic compliance burden score works out to 3.35 score at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Compliance impact severity works out to 3 score at these inputs.
  • Occurrence likelihood works out to 4 score at these inputs.
  • Control detection score works out to 3 score at these inputs.

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 26.37% below the baseline at 3.35 score.
  • Use it during process hazard analyses, ODH assessments, relief-system reviews, or when prioritizing a backlog of safety findings across a cryogenic facility. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.

Results at a glance

  • Cryogenic compliance burden score: 3.35 score (headline result)
  • Compliance impact severity: 3 score
  • Occurrence likelihood: 4 score
  • Control detection score: 3 score
