Risk Assessments are used to assess the impact of alternativedesigns, changes during operations, and compliance of offshore installations against tolerabilitycriteria. Typically, asset information is used to develop a mathematical model; this can beupdated to reflect changes during the facility's lifecycle. This paper examines how the use ofcloud-based technology to develop a Digital Twin improves efficiency. Allowing projectstakeholders full access to the QRA model also enables greater understanding of hazards. Digital technology pervades all areas of business and societyand offers great advantages to safety engineering relative to traditional approaches. This paperdemonstrates how cloud basedtools canturn the traditional static QRA process into a living QRA which can be updated throughout aninstallation's lifecycle by creating a digital twin. This type of living QRA allows projectstakeholders to change key parameters and assess the effect of these changes on risk levels. Inaddition, the results can be interrogated down to fundamental levels using a Microsoft Power BIdashboard. The output of QRAs are usually static reports providing anoverview of the detailed work undertaken and a high-level summary of the results which arecompared with tolerability criteria or to demonstrate ALARP. This paper demonstrates howcustomised internet browser tools utilising 2D and 3D graphics may be built on top of the QRA toextract more detail than previously possible and communicate risks in a flexible and interactiveway. It also shows how consistent data management can form a basis for innovating beyond thetraditional approach. This allows a wider range of stakeholders to determine risk drivers, isolatesingle accident scenarios and filter results to a greater depth than is possible through a paperreport and allow a greater understanding of their hazards. Digitalisation is an increasingly ‘hot topic’ in the process industry. Making use of new technologies to provide greater insights can aid in better and more timelyhazard management whilst reducing costs to stakeholders. Examples of innovations which promote better assessment are provided.
