This document describes the objectives and functional requirements for the control and mitigation of fires and explosions on offshore installations used for the development of hydrocarbon resources. This document is applicable to the following: – fixed offshore structures; – floating systems for production, storage, and offloading. Mobile offshore units as defined in this document and subsea installations are excluded, although many of the principles contained in this document can be used as guidance. This document is based on an approach where the selection of control and mitigation measures for fires and explosions primarily caused from loss of containment is determined by an evaluation of hazards on the offshore installation. The methodologies employed in this assessment and the resultant recommendations will differ depending on the complexity of the production process and facilities, type of facility (i.e. open or enclosed), manning levels, and environmental conditions associated with the area of operation. NOTE – Statutory requirements, rules, and regulations can, in addition, be applicable for the individual offshore installation concerned.
