The review team recommend that:
a) NOPSA examine, in consultation with industry stakeholders, developing a program of workshops based on the safety case guidance notes, to provide further face to face information to operators about complying with safety case regulatory requirements;
b) NOPSA should explain to the industry the reasons for the policy of not considering an application for the acceptance of a new safety case until an existing application has been decided and invite proposals for managing the process in a way that reduces the risk of delay; and
c) NOPSA should invite APPEA, IADC and IMCA to organise occasional forums specifically for consultants who prepare safety cases at which NOPSA (or NOPSEMA) can explain current safety case processes and content requirements and respond to any issues raised by the participating consultants.
