University of the Arts, London

Development of a Disaster Recover plan that would be applicable across the federated structure of the University. The plan is focussed primarily on Emergency Response and the communication structures to ensure the initial response is successfully managed. This includes a special section on response to potential terrorism scenarios. The plan has been created to allow delivery by those most appropriate (i.e. allows for local plans to be followed in individual colleges, with those incidents that affect the whole university being managed corporately.

Rolls-Royce
• Development of a new set of business processes for Rolls-Royce Submarines Ltd.
• Research into the potential techniques available to automate the creation of FMEAs from design information.

Capital Trains
I was the Risk Manager for the DSB/EWS bid for the Thameslink/GN TOC franchise.

• A key aspect was in understanding and managing the levels of risk awareness between the two partner companies; Danish State Railways (DSB) and EWS.
• The risks and mitigation strategies were identified through facilitated workshops. The risks included those directly associated with the bidding process and the key risks associated with the migration phase of the new TOC franchise together with the ongoing franchise management.

Tube Lines – Communications & SCADA Project
This project is to deliver new communications systems (circa £180M) to all stations under Tube Lines control. As part of this project I:
• Developed a risk register through facilitated workshops and close working with the project team to assist with the review of tender submissions and to support the business case to the Tube Lines board. Monte-Carlo analysis (@Risk) was used to model the expected risk outcome.
• Developed multiple risk registers for many of the sub-projects involved.
• Produced assurance plans for several of the key sub-projects.
• Produced the Works, Plant and Equipment submission to the HMRI for all stations being upgraded.
• Produced a RAMS assessment for the equipment being installed to allow a decision to be made across different designs.

Enterprise Risk Management – Tube Lines Business Risk Manager
I covered the key position of Business Risk Manager within Tube Lines for a period of 2 years. The responsibilities of this role included:
• Development and implementation of the Risk Management Framework and associated processes.
• Development of the Business Risk Register and the subsequent facilitated identification of business risks and any appropriate mitigation plans to reduce these risks.
• Development of the concept of ‘Risk Appetite’ within the company.
• Production of safety case papers demonstrating that the business plans include adequate budgets and that the risks from the assets that are managed by the company are minimised to a level that is ALARP.
• Procurement, implementation and roll-out of the Enterprise Risk Management System.
• Presentations to various audiences on the topics of risk management and how to demonstrate ALARP.

Connect PFI Project
This project was aimed at providing a new radio and transmission system/service throughout the underground network. The key areas of involvement were:
• Development of technical assurance and approval processes to meet legislative and LUL requirements and comply with the PFI principle of transferring risk to where it can be best managed.
• Analysis of the communications system model and the operational model to ensure that they were incorporated into the LUL Corporate Risk Model. This enabled a baseline against which the new system could be assessed.
• Development of processes (and databases) for maintaining the risk register and hazard log.
• Preparation of several safety case papers for various phases of the project in compliance with LUL Safety Review and Change Control Standards.
• Identification of both financial and safety risks and their tracking on a database.

QRA and Safety Case Studies for LUL and Infracos
• Many reviews and updates of the LUL QRA model of events leading to passenger fatality.
• QRA of short platform lengths at Ealing Broadway.
• Train communications criticality study and case for safety for procedures to be adopted in the event of train radio failure.
• Jubilee Line Extension QRA – extensive involvement over a number of years of development and analysis of the risk model for the extension, as part of the project safety case.
• Case for safety paper for the introduction of Self Testing CRIDs.
• Heathrow Terminal 5 Piccadilly Line extension – risk assessment and CBA for various tunnel options and possible introduction of platform edge doors.
• Development of a methodology and database for Workplace Risk Assessments.

o Preparation of the conceptual safety report and QRA.
o Use of British Gas consequence assessment tools and methodologies to calculate the results of various jet fires and gas releases.
• Maelor and Llandarcy Storage and Compressor Station Safety Cases
o Update of the safety and reliability assessments for the storage and compressor station safety cases using the latest British Gas assessment tools and methodologies.
• Development of Automated Offshore QRA Software for British Gas
o Development of a suite of FORTRAN computer codes to automate the production of offshore QRA (for fire and explosion hazards).
o Production of an interface with the British Gas CHAOS package to calculate the results of explosions and fires and from these calculating immediate fatalities and heat fluxes over a platform. Use of these heat fluxes to calculate which escape routes are blocked and the number of fatalities during platform evacuation.
o Review of the Rough Field QRA spreadsheet and rule set.
• Structural Analysis – Rough Gas Complex
o Developed a computer code in FORTRAN to translate input data from the ASAS finite element code into input data for the ANSYS finite element code
o Developed a new technique using a computer code in 'C' to take an ANSYS structural model, apply a fire to that model (involving creating new conductive and radiative elements and nodes) and create a new input deck for ANSYS.

Nuclear Safety Studies

• Nuclear Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) for Hinkley Point A and Calder Hall and Chapelcross. I was also seconded to British Energy to assist in developing the ESSM for Hartlepool.
• Development of new techniques for PSA, including time-at-risk and ALARP studies for Calder Hall and Chapelcross.
• Involved in the INSA of various RNSC papers relating to plant at Calder Hall and Chapelcross Power Stations, and for the Heysham II and Torness Power Stations.
• Refuelling cooling studies for British Energy using the HOTWOLF based HOSTAGE and HEY2STRING computer codes to calculate fuel element temperature histories of a fuel stringer after a hoist stop during normal refuelling and with coincident reactor operating faults. This work was carried out in support of several refuelling safety cases for Heysham 2 Power Station. Production of primary safety case and head documents presenting the results of the above analyses and analyses produced by others.
• Secondment to British Energy providing decision support on reactor lifetime enhancement projects. Monte-Carlo analysis of all the issues and potential solutions carried out to enable British Energy to prioritise workload.
• Assistance in the production of a suite of operational safety cases on behalf of VSEL for submission to HM Nuclear Installations Inspectorate. The safety cases cover all aspects of the operations at VSEL, Barrow which have the potential to lead to a radiological hazard to operators or the general public.
