Date of Summary | March 31, 1997 |
Subject | Development and Testing of the FLAIM (Fire and Life Safety Assessment Indexing Model) for Evaluating the Safety of Offshore Platforms and Marine Loading Terminals |
Performing Activity | Paragon Engineering |
Principal Investigator | John E. Van Meter and Robert G. Bea |
Contracting Agency | Minerals Management Service |
Estimated Completion | March 1998 |
Description | This is a Joint Industry Project (JIP). The purpose, of this project, was to further development, testing, and verification of the FLAIM concept. The goal was to prevent fires and explosions that may lead to loss of containment and oil spills. |
Progress | A model was being developed that used two evaluations: Safety Management Systems and Physical Qualities. Each of the evaluations has two parts: an overall assessment and a detailed assessment. For the Safety Management System evaluation, there were eight categories of questions. These questions will include Basic Minimal Questions developed by UCB for initial assessments. |
